I say, I say
I say, I say unto thee
You probably witnessed VATA drunk on stage, stumble and fall
Done been through shit in man life that could humble you all
If I was weak, I'd crumble and fall
But my strong foundation won't let me, I proceed to stand tall
With two middle fingers up to all
Who got something to say, negative about V.A.T.A
Evidently you don't know me
Because if you do, then you know I ain't phony
You got to walk it like you talk it, gots to show me
Say you gonna whoop my ass, yeah right, blow me
You're bony, you'll get broke in half
I joke and laugh later on about the way I crash your throat with a jab
That's the sound that he made when I hit him
Before he hit the floor, walked away, come and get him
My partner looked at me and shook his head, said it's a damn shame
In twenty years, ain't a damn thang changed
Almost said damn right, but not quite 'cause everything has
From the moment I became a dad
Had to try to improve, now I got something to lose
I can't be running these streets f*cking 'round with you fools
So let's get this here understood (and over stood)
I ain't f*cking with you if you don't mean me no good
You could be fam or somebody from my old 'hood
And if you gots to think about it then you sure should
Stay away from me
This the new way for me
Grandmama continue to pray for me
Dear Lord make a way for me to be strong
In my weakest hour just enough to keep on
I said all of that to say (I say, I say)
Let Self Love Be The Light To Show The Way
