This jam is dedicated to my brother Winki, who is looking down on me from Heaven
Watching my every move, as usual
There but for the grace of God, do I go? Do I go?
There but for the grace of God, do I go? Do I go? (Go)
I'm trying to take my time on this rhyme
But it's bustin from the seems
Like the fantasy and eagerness of dreams
Moving all around, oh, yes I'm making leaps an bounds
Theres so much shit to say, no time to write it down
I'm skippin' to this and skippin' to that
I've overflowed my cup
I'm flowin' kind of quick I hope you can keep up
Every ain't cool just cause you slap me on my hand
There's things about all of ya'll have got to understand
Latifah- never was a teacher
Never was a preacher
Never was a saint
Never was conceited
Never was defeated
Sometimes I get tired, sometimes I want to faint
But I never shut up when things piss me off
And if I got to curse at you to get my point across
Thats what I got to do thats how it got to be
I've got an angel watching over me
