[Intro] Jet 2 whussap [Verse 1] Don't bother clockin' in Next time you show up late you lose yo' job again You spent your whole life chasing dreams just to get robbed of them Craving pussy chasin' love, nigga ain't no love nigga How the fuck you think them thugs feelin' in broken homes I got a notebook full of anger and some open wounds To be honest, I just smile to keep them curtains closed Nobody askin', that's what hurts the most I'm 'bout to fade Walk down the block and see them cops from like a block away I remember being locked up, shit was not the wave I pushed my bitch, that shit was not the way I'm 'bout to change Look my baby in the eye, shit caused a lot of pain To let her know I finally cheated But fuck it, we only people wish we were created equal If I could change the world, I'd be a hero Said fuck it, we only people wish we were created equal If I could change the world, I'd be a hero [Chorus] I sacrificed everything But always know to keep it family first Do we do all this to be loved I'll never know The only lesson learned is that it works We do all this to be loved Try everything But always know to keep it family first We do all this to be loved I'll never know Only lesson learned is that it works We do all this to be loved [Verse 2] I'm all for that unity shit Love is a drug you gotta take in pieces Sign the contract to breach it Try to clean it, then bleach it Color blind to this game Love is blind, it's insane What is mine will remain I walk a hundred miles to ease pain I'm caught up in the thought of things changing Please do not be the same By this time next year, let's hear different Got to put my family in Benzes Gather all my equity and pensions I have made mistakes with good intentions I have not forgotten the vision I have gotten did in by exes But God protectin', I ain't seen his face Sometimes I wonder if it's only me in here Before I close my eyes, I say my grace Lord please do not give me to the streets this year Stare in the mirror and look at my face I got a vision and I see it clear Consistency is all it takes By this time next year [Chorus] I sacrificed everything Always know to keep it family first Do we do all this to be loved I'll never know The only lesson learned is that it works We do all this to be loved Try everything But always know to keep it family first We do all this to be loved I'll never know Only lesson learned is that it works We do all this to be loved

[Intro] I don't need them to tell me that I found you Is this love I'm feelin' Tell me that I found you Just to find yo' peace in All those things I tell you I don't want nobody but you You [Chorus] I swear you should know Beautiful, beautiful Angel in this cold world Beautiful, beautiful I swear you should know Beautiful, beautiful Angel, cold world Beautiful, you should know [Verse 1] You were born with all the tools you need They say you gotta work for money, yet money is free If you think about it, you can be whatever you think Don't let your circumstance cause your boat that's afloat to sink You were dealt a perfect hand no matter what it seems You know media has to convince you other things One thing about COVID, I learned to discover things About myself, I needed time to uncover dreams I spent numerous years at my mom's house Jumping from job to job Battling depression, my efforts seemed to be falling short I was in deep water up to my neck almost drowning soon I was in dilemmas like Nelly and Kelly calling off Still had Walgreens boomin', had CVS boomin' I was fostering connects to make my next move with I met Eliot and he ended up going platinum With Youngboy, that's magic [Chorus] I swear you should know Beautiful, beautiful Angel in this cold world Beautiful, beautiful I swear you should know Beautiful, beautiful Angel, cold world Beautiful, you should know [Verse 2] I finally learned the significance of imagination And seeing yourself where you wanna be is a magic statement What's up with a year from now, tell me how it goes You could predict it by having solid goals Then one thing after another happens like dominoes And waiting is nothing as far as timing goes The catch phrase, "all is well," them hardships are not to slow You down from your vision, stay focused on the gold Once again, Len came through in the clutch Changed my trajectory, but to him it just wasn't much Blessed me with the tools to make my own music Spiyda said that time is when I'm at my truest That's when I realized I don't need these niggas Instead of dwelling on broken promise, I see big pictures Learned how to make my dreams look like 3D visions By this time next year, I'ma see me in 'em [Chorus] I swear you should know Beautiful, beautiful Angel in this cold world Beautiful, beautiful I swear you should know Beautiful, beautiful Angel, cold world Beautiful, you should know [Outro] I don't need them to tell me that I found you Is this love I'm feelin' Tell me that I found you Just to find yo' peace in All those things I tell you I don't want nobody but you You (my young super woman wonder, what up) I don't need them to tell me that I found you Is this love I'm feelin' Tell me that I found you Just to find yo' peace in All those things I tell you I don't want nobody but you You
