People be asking me why I wear that towel on my head
I be telling 'em, I wear that towel on my head, I represent the ancestors
You know, we was field niggas
Used to whip the towel and wear it on our head to keep ourselves cool
Pain and suffering, experienced my whole life
Used to pray to God, but he probably won't reply
Could you send someone to me if you don't mind?
Stay by my side and stick it out for the long ride
Have you ever needed somebody?
Tired of being broke and want to be somebody
My heart too genuine, sometimes feel I wasn't built to love
Victim of this cold world, it get difficult to trust
My heart too genuine, sometimes feel I wasn't built to love
Victim of this cold world, it get difficult to trust
My mother died when giving birth to me
They brought her back, immaculate conception
To be absent from the body then you in the holy presence
All the angels start surrounding when somebody mention Kevin
Guess it can't be no coincidences that it rhyme with heaven
Everybody hated me, black sheep, narcotic selling
They, "What you on?" every time I go to jail, ain't do no telling
Grandmother put her arms around me, told me, "Be more careful"
Used to feel like I was cursed, I know my worth, now I know better
I sit high, but I look low and all of mine gon' be protected
Could you do me a lil' favor if you listening to this message?
Don't you ever let nobody tell you ain't no blessing
Don't you ever let nobody tell you you ain't special
Don't you ever let nobody tell you you ain't special
I say, don't you ever let nobody tell you you ain't special
Pain and suffering, experienced my whole life
Used to pray to God, but he probably won't reply
Could you send someone to me if you don't mind?
Stay by my side and stick it out for the long ride
Have you ever needed somebody?
Tired of being broke and want to be somebody
My heart too genuine, sometimes feel I wasn't built to love
Victim of this cold world, it get difficult to trust
Wrote to heal them up, but I guess he ain't get the letter
System got Lee Lucas wrong, he been gone since I was 11
Every lawyer say he coming home, it get so depressing
Meanwhile, the family stressing, tryna put it back together
Jeff Perry children grown now and steady asking questions
And they look at me for answers and I don't know what to tell 'em
Kyle look so much like Mazi, can't be around him for a second
Told her mom, "You ever need me, bump the line and I'ma Zelle you"
Better know I spread my wings, you surrounded by them steppers
Better know I'm a big eagle if you listening to this message
Don't you ever let nobody tell you you ain't no blessing
Don't you ever let nobody tell you you ain't special
Pain and suffering, experienced my whole life
Used to pray to God, but he probably won't reply
Could you send someone to me if you don't mind?
Stay by my side and stick it out for the long ride
Have you ever needed somebody?
Tired of being broke and want to be somebody
My heart too genuine, sometimes feel I wasn't built to love
Victim of this cold world, it get difficult to trust
My heart too genuine, sometimes feel I wasn't built to love
Victim of this cold world, it get difficult to trust
Mm, built to love
It get difficult to trust
