Valuable Lessons - Cormega

Love, you question it

Hate is evident

People who never voted betray you for dead presidents

Some wear two faces: friend and enemy

And gain nothing 'cause they don’t deserve anything

I risk my life for niggas who didn’t write or visit

During my time in prison I realized my friendship

Isn’t what I envisioned

And I’m tired of giving

With no reciprocation, thankfully times are different

I pray for friends I’ve lost

Grateful to find religion, in my life

Keeping it real is making right decisions

Loyalty has its toll, it costs nothing to mind your business

You can add this to the list of deepest lines I’ve written

I guess my higher vision comes from knowing sky’s the limit

And I acquired wisdom from triumph and failure

Money can come and go but valuable lessons

Are never bad investments and they last forever

All these lessons that I’ve learned only mean one thing

I just want to live my life

Never make the same mistake

Promise that I’m going to make it right

Emphatically my blood circulates conscious

My family is blood that circulates gossip

My sister calls my cousin

My cousin calls his mom but

Nobody calls me and I’m the topic

Similar to what my aunt did to my father

Was consumed by drugs while she consumed vodka

I ain’t feeling that

Hypocritical, judgmental bullshit

The pot calling the kettle black

So simmer down;

one thing I never lack

Is food for thought — I just faxed

The main course, crabs want to pull you back

When you make it out because they lack

Potential to rise

It’s clear to see the root of evil has affected my family tree

Can’t bloom

Resentment and greed

Are so deep my grandmother was victim of thieves

Of her own kin

Though we all sin

I call it how I see it;

that’s some cold shit

I forgive but I won’t forget

Siblings acting funny over money;

I don’t owe you shit

All these lessons that I’ve learned only mean one thing

I just want to live my life

Never make the same mistake

Promise that I’m going to make it right

We loved hard and fought harder

If we fought as hard for love, we’d be much stronger

You wanna argue 'bout what I didn’t do

Yet ignore what I did

When you accuse me of cheating it was only your guilt

Manifesting itself as a result

You’d rather hate me than be mad at yourself

Now you free;

we no longer trapped in lies

You never find happiness until you happy inside

We’ve been up, we’ve been down

We laughed and we cried

But through it all I showed you I’m a provider

Now you taking me to court saying you need support

For your living expenses

Really?

How is this?

You get advice from women who senseless

With no life so they want to get in my business

Ignorance can’t match infinite wisdom

It’s supreme over weak schemes and hidden agendas

All these lessons that I’ve learned only mean one thing

I just want to live my life

Never make the same mistake

Promise that I’m going to make it right

It’s been a long time but

I can finally sleep at night

I can finally sleep, I, I can finally sleep

I, I can finally sleep at night
