The Creator - WC And The Maad Circle[00:00:00]
This one here's for The Creator[00:00:05]
'Trying to get over ' like Curtis Mayfield said[00:00:39]
I was a problem child running wild in the night[00:00:42]
Livin on a not-so-safe set of life[00:00:45]
Caught up in the rapture quick to blast ya[00:00:47]
Neglected as a juvenile so labelled a 'ghetto bastard'[00:00:51]
Forced to live the life of a hoodster on the prowl[00:00:53]
Goin through my life with a permanent frown[00:00:56]
But still you stood by me and you got me here safely[00:00:58]
Never turned away from me when others lost faith in me[00:01:01]
Even when I was a non-believer and doubted your existence[00:01:03]
You still shed mercy on my ignorance[00:01:07]
How can I say this no words can't explain[00:01:10]
How much I thank you for helpin me deal with the pain[00:01:12]
For sparin my life at times I thought I was through[00:01:15]
All praise is due here's to you[00:01:18]
So[00:01:20]
[ CHORUS [00:01:20]
This is for the lover in you[00:01:21]
This is for the things that you do[00:01:26]
This time I will take up for you[00:01:33]
Cause your love's gon' last forever[00:01:38]
Now as I reminisce like Minnie Riperton in a Pendleton[00:01:41]
I'm havin flashbacks 'lookin at these photographs'[00:01:44]
Glancin at old flicks of me and my dogs[00:01:46]
Thinkin how we all played little league football[00:01:49]
No set-trippin we was down for one another[00:01:52]
>From pups to mutts we came up Westside hustlers[00:01:55]
You couldn't stop us no matter what you told us[00:01:58]
Starched Curduroys with the fresh peachy folders[00:02:00]
Washington High School damn them was the days[00:02:03]
The 12th grade came and we went our own ways[00:02:05]
Doin what we had to do to make ends meet[00:02:08]
Some of us went to college and some kicked the streets[00:02:11]
Some of us passed away some just faded[00:02:14]
Some turned snitch and some is incarcerated[00:02:16]
Me I been blessed to catch wreck over beats[00:02:19]
But without you this wouldn't be complete[00:02:22]
So[00:02:24]
[ CHORUS [00:02:24]
This is for the lover in you[00:02:25]
This is for the things that you do[00:02:30]
This time I will take up for you[00:02:35]
Cause your love's gon' last forever[00:02:40]
(Ooh child things ain't gettin any easier )[00:02:47]
Survivin in the ghetto you gotta stay strong[00:02:52]
But realistically no man out here can make it alone[00:02:54]
Ain't no sleepin none of us creepin[00:02:57]
I see the men that's in the streets and[00:02:58]
Smokers fiendin the drama got me thinkin[00:03:01]
How I need to play as if I was a Stylistic[00:03:04]
And stop and look and listen[00:03:06]
Take a second out to count my blessings[00:03:07]
Cause you coulda laid me down a long time ago[00:03:09]
But you let me live and God knows I ain't a angel[00:03:11]
So I'ma take this opportunity to flip the script[00:03:13]
For the lover of you cause props is due[00:03:16]
For sparin my life at times I thougth I was through[00:03:19]
I gotta give it up here's to you[00:03:21]
So[00:03:23]
[ CHORUS [00:03:24]
This is for the lover in you[00:03:24]
This is for the things that you do[00:03:29]
This time I will take up for you[00:03:34]
Cause your love's gon' last forever[00:03:39]
