Consider My Love - Pismo

[00:19.03]Consider my love
[00:24.50]The days when we were
[00:29.64]Together so young
[00:34.86]Our love was enough
[00:38.14]Remember?
[00:40.05]1974
[00:41.88]The Lord put me on this planet with a plan to be as hard as granite
[00:45.22]Calm spirit, no panic at the childbirth
[00:47.71]Verse read
[00:48.62]Mother shaped my head with a kiss
[00:50.23]“Damn! he got a strong grip…” as I suckled
[00:52.60]My Father’s knees buckled from the joy
[00:54.45]Luck would have it that this bouncing baby boy would
[00:56.67]Gravitate towards being
[00:58.32]Poetic, Emceein' in the future
[01:00.33]But for now on the nipple like a hookah
[01:02.28]Fast forward, play games and duke a bit
[01:04.53]The years progress
[01:05.69]Messed with cats that dib and dabbled in chess
[01:07.25]Less strategical but meaningful
[01:08.86]Growing was completed so fast
[01:10.43]3rd grader doing 5th grade math
[01:12.45]Knew the library staff and half the books I read shed light
[01:15.81]Damn! Those Arabian nights
[01:17.65]Was influenced by love that be of my birthright
[01:22.17]Consider my love
[01:27.02]The days when we were
[01:32.32]Together so young
[01:37.41]Our love was enough
[01:40.77]Remember?
[01:42.70]Sundays at church, watching the preacher work the pulpit
[01:45.55]Sit next to Ma
[01:46.51]Pay attention or you’d get pent against the wall
[01:49.17]Times was serious but love conquered
[01:51.74]Above sponsors of hate
[01:53.08]So we had to relate in those days
[01:55.29]Hip Hop was ill
[01:56.41]Conforming to the whack performing was unreal
[01:58.89]And listen that’s real!
[02:00.25]We’d kill for a chance to go dance and wop
[02:02.82]Pop music was hot and new
[02:04.33]Boys would pop and groove with high tops and loose shoes
[02:07.42]To hip hop that incorporated jazz and blues
[02:10.17]In high school, arts were plentiful
[02:12.19]Magnetic programs romance was synthetic
[02:14.70]Dead it in a minute so much love, but love I’m tryin to get it
[02:18.03]Through roads and streets
[02:19.46]Avenues and creeks
[02:20.44]Seek what my heart desires buying tracks that meet
[02:23.00]Complete now so…
[02:24.45]Consider My Love
[02:29.55]The days when we were
[02:34.50]Together so young
[02:40.25]Our love was enough
[02:43.56]Remember?
[02:45.03]Those family functions
[02:46.56]No interruptions
[02:47.72]Bustin “The Dozens” on kin folk
[02:49.18]Mainly your cousins
[02:50.10]It’s all love
[02:51.42]In good spirit
[02:52.11]Used to hear it from the older generation
[02:54.40]Chasin' them dreams and stacking cream for all of us
[02:56.37]We used to boost a bit
[02:57.82]Young kids with the itch to have them cool fits and fly kicks, Nike Dunks
[03:01.55]California raised, so the hustle was engrained from day one
[03:04.87]Fake one’s that front
[03:06.42]Give it up
[03:07.03]Childhood was good
[03:08.05]From Stockton to Inglewood
[03:09.65]Boggs Tract in fact is where the foundation lies at
[03:12.60]Now Mac trucks back up to speed the track up
[03:15.40]I plead, don’t crack up the dirt before we act up
[03:17.61]From the foot to the brain impact cuts the soul deep
[03:20.68]A whole heap but peep we still gain
[03:23.07]Things have changed but memories stay the same
[03:25.53]This brave heart parts with…
[03:27.14]Consider My Love
[03:32.28]The days when we were
[03:37.22]Together so young
[03:42.46]Our love was enough
[03:45.87]Remember?
