nantes - lavert lyrics

(verse 1)
what is a father to a child without
an apparition with a vision of pain
my grandmother’s baby boy was the runt of her litter
rather stoic for child but his conscience was clearer than enemies he encountered on these la streets
stories that he told me inspired me to write
instilled morals in my spirit, his essence strengthened my stanza
i never a question that he could not answer
as a tyke, i used to sleep on his chest
his heartbeat lulled me slow as i dream of a future
where i see him by my side as i’m marryin’ queens
as a kid i only wished that he knew what meant
to have a figure in your life who saw everything from your first steps to your darkest years
incisions in my flesh kuz i wished you was here
yo guidance never fades
used to hit me in my head when he heard that i say

(hook)
i need to hustle
need some money, need some cars and hoes
i need to hustle
need some money, need some cars and hoes
don’t covet those things or you’ll never grow
i need to move a key of yay or a pound of dope
i need to hustle
need some money, need some cars and hoes
i need to hustle
need some money, need some cars and hoes
don’t covet those things or you’ll never grow
i need to hustle
i need to—

(verse 2)
the life of west adams scholar
crash unit always tryna make a case
slang dope to get me diapers
me and marky watch you play shadow man while you lecture on different lessons in life
morality, immortality, race, and civil rights
inst-tutionalized, no, it did not break you
regular man of steel, there isn’t much that can damage the granite of your glare
you look like grandpa’s twin the way you rock your fro
suppose i get it from you
the perception of calmness that you hold in your breath
red flag, tryna follow in your footsteps
but it wasn’t the way
and granny told me the truth, you love me like your son but i’m your nephew
your sister kids had you when no one else had hope
and the love that you gave it will never fade
you used to hit me in my head when you heard me say

(hook)

(verse 3)
what is a father to a child without
an apparition with a vision of pain
my grandmother’s baby boy was the runt of her litter
rather stoic for child but his conscience was clearer than enemies he encountered on these la streets
stories that he told me inspired me to write
instilled morals in my spirit, his essence strengthened my stanza
i never a question that he kould not answer
kuz n-gga that’s the only father i ever had
i used to sit cl-ss and tell them that’s my dad
walking me to school and seeing me through my pain
teaching me to survive, the value inside my name
some n-ggas gon snitch, you do bad by yourself
read they body language have some knowledge of myself
how to raise my kid
look inside of my eyes and they just like his
said they just like his

(hook)
