Blu3 - The Dedication Lyrics

Yo, this first gotta go out to all the folks who ain't believe
Who been the fuel to my tank since the day I was conceived
All them so-called friends, all them hoes that said they love me
All them motherf*ckin' DJs that ain't never f*ckin' bumped me

All them dusty-ass promoters that ain't never f*ckin' pay up
There's no beef, I found my own way up
While I was ridin' down 30, on my way to the dirty
With a couple of them rolled, double-cup on slurpee

Picked up the pack from my Sap, did my thing and came back
Did that shit a couple times, now my pockets is packed
So now I gotta check the burn, I hit up P bout' the theater
He said I had it when I wanted, but there's some not allowed near her

I was cool, nothin' personal, he know what it do
But as the days went by, I was sadly surprised
Because of insecurities, he created his demise
I ain't claimin' to be perfect, I mean, who the f*ck am I

Oh yeah, that nigga who been down since 2005
Who never, at any time, ever snitched or ever cried
About some shit I got myself in, or some shit I was thrown into
Before they heard me rappin', the hustle was instrumental

Gave my heart to my city, to my team, and to the culture
And then was left to die, for the varmints and the vultures
Rose from the depths, I wouldn't even call hell
Went against every single odd, but found a way to prevail

Bitches never noticed me, now they see every detail
Showin' they ass and tits off, tryin' to get some retail
But I won't let the ratchets get me, nah, I stay with repellent
Na I don't need no bud, dawg, I don't care what you sellin

If I did, what would I look like talkin' to you
As you pulled up to the pump like 20 will get you two
Chunk you to deuce, and now behind me is some red and blues
Nah, I'm straight, it's cool, I won't pressure the dude

He work for me, he don't know his plug just came through for two
And he gon' need another few in like a hour or two
See, if you knew me and my past, you would say
I'm doin' better with my attitude

And all, hopefully this shit's forever
Cause since the day I got with Jim and put my son on the track
I've seen my patience pay off, now it's time for payback
Once again, this is goin' to all whoever f*ckin' doubted

That I'd ever have a crowd of white girls
F*ckin' shoutin' out my name, out the motto
Out they wanna f*ckin' swallow, but I ain't goin' down that hall
Cause we all know where that hall go

And what you f*ckin' all know is I'm still right here
After the peaks and the valleys, I remain right here
To infinity and beyond, no buzz light year
I'm shootin' shots of tequila, chasin' it with light beer

Pourin' hella out for my brother, Blurry, I know you right here
If I had one wish, it'd be to bring you right here
Let you see what we built, a f*ckin' kingdom
All around the world now, we got her singin

And I'd like to present a toast to my motherf*ckin' self
For bein' down for a nigga when there was nobody else
For not f*ckin' givin' up when you even doubted yourself
For all them long ass nights, hustlin' while the kids sleep

And still wakin' up at five, makin' sure the kids eat
For not giving up, I'm like, where would them kids be
You coulda walked away, it just isn't in me
I know what I did and didn't have to do

I made my decisions and stand by em' to the death, baby
I have no regrets with everything and anyone
And everyone I gave my all
And again, right now, I'm pourin' out my soul to y'all

And it's for no ill intention, but I would like you to listen
And let me know if there's anything that you see that I'm missin
Cause all the fans want me real, and the women say that too
But every time I see the try, they don't wanna see the truth

So now I'm sittin' in the booth, pissed off and confused
Demolishin' shit, now they want the old blue
Damn, I'm like, what should I do
What should I do

You know, I've been reppin' this Dfw shit for a long motherf*ckin' time
And I've heard a lot of motherf*ckers try and share the same messages
But you know what I'm sayin'
Like Dallas and Fort Worth and everything in between, we're the same thing

You know, it's time for us to act like the 35E and the 35W
Come the f*ck together
It's crazy how those two interstates come together above us and below us
And we still can't get that shit right in the middle

Let that marinate
Blue
