Why does it take a complete stranger to make us
realize that our shit stinks too?
Why does she think she fine when she's mediocre like u?
Why do I feel I can say whatever I like?
Cus I'm The Kesh and I'm all that, and I just might
have u thinking that I'm a bytch, well take that
thought back cus u aint saw nuthin yet!
Call me arrogant, ignorant, call me what u like
but remember these are but words
dont judge me by all of them just sum and
then yea u'd be right
I'm a lil egotistical, debonaire and swave
an intellectual, and never a slob
I like my house clean just like my money
I hustle for mine but never on a corner will u find me
yea so what, I'm babyfaced but a devil undercover
u dont like it? so what! leave me alone then
cus ma I already got a lover
She loves me for who I am, flaws and all
I can be "big shit" with her, or a lil girl laid
against a wall, crying my eyes out holdin her tight
my guards are down, I'm weak but never will lose the fight
cus my baby encourage me, she be that one who got my back
no matter what! that's real, yea I got it like that!
This here is in dedication to Kiesha my wife
just another lil sum to let u know u always In my heart,
On my mind, U make me love life
U know how I always say, "life sucks?"
U lift my head and spirits up
U tell me to be strong never a punk
"Life is a gift," u always say
Baby I know, must be because the lord sent u my way
Baby u make me love life and everything about it
the bad times even cus those times are when
I bloom during different seasons
I grow in ways that I've never imagined
I'm inspired, sometimes frustrated but I make it
through the weather
No matter the troubles, whether it's hard or not
I'm glad u got my back mami, u make me love life
I'm even starting to love it a lot...
