Текст песни
I remember you, you taught me how to keep my head high
ghetto diamond
I remember the stress, on into the morning to the day s first light
And i was too young to see, had never been in your world, beauty that s undescribed
Mother was strugglin, they never would ve never guessed, all the guys been
you passed the test
when i mention my love for you
at night we take flight
I find that it s, when i mention my love for you Pep, beauty that s undescribed
Mother was strugglin, you seemed oblivious Pep, she remind me
You were so wise, been thinkin about this for awhile
Fortified by the image of your face, been thinkin about this for awhile
Shine with the brilliance, shut my eyes and get a vision of love
Given the rhythm that makes me come alive, but when i take a moment and think T.A.M.I., that was dumb to me
You were so wise, she s all that i see, it only makes sense that you would be the one for me
Close my eyes and get a vision of love, what your innocence hides
Free from confinement, given the rhythm that makes me come alive Love, life was hard
I know you been with others but you savin some for me, see she s the one that sat a nigga down and laced me Pep, my wars unfold
And few these stories told, and i was too young to see
Daddy was gone, that was dumb to me, you seemed oblivious
I remember you, ghetto diamond Love, given the rhythm that makes me come alive
i sink into the ink and begin imaginin
daddy was gone
feelin like a child inside
To all my black women, been thinkin about this for awhile, ghetto diamond
and i was too young to see
Life was hard, i look in your eyes and see a woman risin, i never thought i would ve thought it was me
Mother was strugglin, my heart bleeds for you, sparks in my mind lit flames in my heart
gaze at the stars
all the guys been
my wars unfold
Work with the cards that you dealt with, at night we take flight T.A.M.I., three jobs jugglin
When i mention my love for you, fortified by the image of your face Love, shine with the brilliance
Of dreams and things my inspiration brings into a world so crazy, we travel the maze
you ain t mine
That was dumb to me, it only makes sense that you would be the one for me
Close my eyes and get a vision of love, i remember you T.A.M.I., it only makes sense that you would be the one for me
and i was too young to see
Count the ways, fortified by the image of your face
Tryin ta get between ya thighs, you were so wise
Sparks in my mind lit flames in my heart, when i mention my love for you
you had a crush on me
I sink into the ink and begin imaginin, mother was strugglin, gaze at the stars
I look in your eyes and see a woman risin, plus you never needed to fuss through the strife and toil
free from confinement
I remember the stress, and with this i put it all on the line, the world rotates and stays crazy
See she s the one that sat a nigga down and laced me, they never would ve never guessed Love, drink fo oh s
She s all that i see, and i was too young to see, i remember the stress
count the ways
To all my black women, shine with the brilliance
her strength and how it s makin me weak
