jered sanders - underneath lyrics

[intro]
sometimes the hardest records to write be
the records where you got up to show people your scars you know what i’m sayin’
sometimes you gotta tell em where you came from
’cause it ain’t always been rosy
let’s talk real quick

[verse 1]
yo!
what do you see when you look in the eyes of a grown man without his life together
do you measure all my flaws or maybe my wicked thoughts
never check the progress in all the ties i severed
back when i was on a shattered path living off a nickel bag money
trying to triple that gifted gab break a half money
get a zipper slab money
and wishing for both
and not a wrap for pitch me some c0ke then fishing for hope
it’s real
and man i had a couple of buddies they was jacking huffies
lil’ ragga m-ffies they was g-ssing like the path for thuggery
was way better than my lil’ nickel pas the custies
but being these and petty thugs led them back in cuffies
hitting up they momma ’cause they gotta check they past is ugly
and when they coppers going lock em they ain’t half as lucky
and i ain’t gracious when you sagging with a matching skully
i turn my back ’cause homie sinning ain’t the path to lucky

[chorus]
it took a long time to love who i am
despite how i was or how i used to be
but if you look through the eyes of my god
you too will love all i am underneath

[verse 2]
yo!
man i remember living off my last dollar
grabbing on a wishing a prayer knowing the cash proper
wasn’t the same as back when i was making mad cheddar
wasn’t never bad weather getting bread up off a br-ss popper
’cause they was rolling off and thumping on the west end
if the sticky had a little stubble get a best friend
to bring you in a frat house
treat you like the next kins
so paper in a couple of hours get enough of text then; yo
but when the hotline blingin’ ain’t what it used to be
and 9-to-5 better than 25 for moving keys
up in the cell i ain’t never better than moving free
look up to god and er’day be renew in me
i’m a testify to let you know that he using me
turned my heart on now i’m seeing it more beautifully
he told me homie either live for you or die for me
i wanted heaven after reverend read the eulogy

[chorus]
it took a long time to love who i am
despite how i was or how i used to be
but if you look through the eyes of my god
you too will love all i am underneath

[verse 3]
yo!
yo!
what do you happen to think of a lad who had the whole world reaching
back in the ache of his past lethal but equally mad evil
reaching a tad mad see through
believe and i ain’t even as bad as the bad people we grew
up in maya what we knew
was the fire in apple back wood
of bringing down a black hood
and i wasn’t jacking for habit only trying to mack good
fl!cking in traffic see the paper stack good
see the love of money never seemed to make a brother happy as a prayer life
living for the world always checking for a dares like
racing to the top but homie i’ma take the stairs like
eternal life and that’s a fair price; praise god
and i be big enough the boss with this sight of mine
and i be carrying my cross with this might of mine
’cause he ain’t turn the fl!cker off with the vital signs
that’s why i’m lifting up the loss with this light of mine

[chorus]
it took a long time to love who i am
despite how i was or how i used to be
but if you look through the eyes of my god
you too will love all i am underneath

[bridge]
used to love me only me
through the good and the bad
through the happy or sad
you still love me yeah yeah
you still love me
