|
| And it’s amazing I’m about to be raisin'
|
| Another main man and like his dad they’ll praise him
|
| And some will hate him, just 'cause we buildin' a nation
|
| Like Bob did with Damian
|
| The world will embrace him
|
| Girls’ll chase him
|
| Forsee, they will not break him
|
| And when I’m not around
|
| You look for God and thank him
|

|
| Without the Hermes, you’d have a hurtin'
|
| You knew that you was destined for greatness, for certain
|
| You see the over-zealous, they be thirstin', caught up in emotion
|
| You keepin' your composure like Gershwin
|
| Songs by Earth Wind keep you in the zone, writing verses
|
| So when your pocket’s light, know that you have a heavy purpose
|
| We’ve got free school and daycare
|
| We’ve got pension and welfare
|
| And though not all will play the game fair

|
| So I count my blessings

|
| And we’re all welcome through His door
|
