lirik lagu primere - from me to you

[verse 1: primere]
late night talks with moms at mickey d’s
thanking her and god ’cause i’ve been living with ease
reminiscing. remember coming here with your cousin?
before his pops got deported, aye you kids would be running
around the restaurant, with the food in your tummy
’till you couldn’t anymore, aye you youngins were funny
d-mn, i haven’t talked to him in years
and when i think about our childhood, it brings me to tears
i miss him, he holds a special place in my heart
yeah, f-ck barack obama, he can’t keep us apart
ima see him again, but it better be soon
the kid’s my age, i taught him how to hold a spoon
ha, so many memories in my thoughts
’cause i was with the kid growing up more often than not
but then, right in the middle of discussion
i looked at mom and said, can i ask you something?
she said go ahead, so what’s the meaning of life?
we’re born, go to school, grow and marry our wife
but what’s the purpose? she sat with a moment of silence
i said, come on, it isn’t rocket science
she said, i don’t know honey, can you give me a hint?
i said, i’ll tell you. it’s about ending the violence
well not exactly, it’s about making a change
she looked at me and said explain, d-mn

[verse 2: primere]
listen, let’s speak hypothetically
say i’m walking down the street and there’s a family next to me
there’s a mom, a dad, a kid, and they’re homeless
wearing old ripped clothes from their toes to their shoulders
and i give the kid a twenty-dollar-bill
i say, god bless you brother, go and get a meal
then i look at his parents and say, bless you too
and don’t you ever forget that god’s next to you
and then i go home, to never see them again
decades later, i’d be watching news around channel ten
keep in mind, this’s a gio.b that never succeeded
’cause i never made the moves that i needed
to be recognized as the greatest rapper alive
not a legend, won’t be remembered after i die
but, coming to my surprise
there’s a man on the tv when i open my eyes
and the man is wearing a suit
seen as a higher up, a throne’s under his glutes
seems professional, and he’s up on a stage
and he’s well-groomed from his head down to his boots
uh, i take a good look at his face
start thinking, now my mind’s starting to race
like, got d-mn yo, i swear i know him
then he silences the crowd, he’s about to show them
a part of his early life, a part of his story
when he was in the gutter before he reached the glory
so i listen, he’s says, when i was a kid
i was hungry, but something this teenager did
is something that i will never forget
he’s the reason that i’ve reached ever goal that i’ve set
i was hopeless, i was scared and dirty
i had ten dollars y’all, and i was praying for thirty
then this kid comes along, he’s gives me twenty bucks
he said, god bless you brother and left me to my luck
then and there, i said i ain’t staying here
the world’s a cruel place y’all, there ain’t no playing here
and so twenty years later, i’m so proud to present
this charity organization
people all around the nation who are facing starvation
and other struggles, they will always be helped
we’re gonna feed them all and get them right on their health
i don’t want to see them hungry, i was there myself
and so at this point i feel my tears starting to flow
a smile on my face, homie you never know
the changes that you make with the little intentions
i remember him now, glad he made it to a new dimension
and seeing that was truly insane
but now i can die because i made a change, yeah

[verse 3: primere]
so do you get it ma? see what i’m trying to say?
sometimes we focus on ourselves and we’re just tryna get paid
but life ain’t about the money, about being rich
if i could stop suicides from those whose lives are a b-tch
i’d do it, ’cause that’s important to me
momma, is that important to you?
ain’t you proud to see what your sons been growing into?
it’s ’cause i’m learning things from you that other mothers won’t teach
i’m not just another rapper, you’re the reason i preach
and you probably don’t know it, but your life is complete
mother, you could die right now
but your spirit lives forever, do you need to know how?
’cause you started a tradition for generations to come
you came to the states and that’s when it all begun
uh, no one helped you as a little girl
you just grew up in a bitter world
but you had a beautiful heart
i swear that your kindness could be labeled an art
and so you grew up, now you’re helping people in need
and since you came, you’ve been doing generous deeds
anyways, once here, you had me at twenty nine
and i swear if you die, your dream is staying alive
we’re gonna build that church in el salvador
eventually
with or without you, and with n-body helping me
and if it’s not me, my child’s gonna do it
that’s a promise because i’ma teach them just like you did
don’t you see? we may never be rich
and you may never reach every single goal on your list
you may never get the houses that you’ve always wanted
but these kids are getting help and that’s from what you started
and you may never get the credit either
but it’s not about that
our posterity will continue acts
of kindness
and in two hundred years
el salvador will be wealthy
our people will be healthy
and there’ll be no more tears
imagine that, all ’cause of you
she sat, looked at me in disbelief
she said you’re right kid, i never thought that deep
but it’s true what you say, anything can happen
and it may be ’cause of you too ’cause of the words you’re rapping
uh, and so the purpose of life
isn’t just to live, to work, and to die
we’re here to make a change, not be martin luther
or cesar chavez, we just need to help the future
we may never be successful but homie define success
’cause helping others keeps me satisfied at the chest
i may not be famous, but ima do what i got to do
homie this from me to you, yeah
