Umoja

Umoja - Substantial

Could've made a baby mom out of ya' but I figured wife was better

I wrote Eclipse for you instead of writing letters

You held down through my endeavors and in turn

We gained experience through rotten weather and we learned

That above this fog is Cloud 9

Visibility's low but I don't let cloud mine

I see you but this ain't Pandora

But fight for your man and you know he'll fight for ya'

But in the meantime we keep Peace & Order

Plant food for thought and keep our seed watered

Like many before us we could play this solo

But we make a better chorus 'cause we make great music (together)

An imperfect harmony

Couple scars but we're durable like mahogany

And over the years it may crack and splinter

When it's colder that last year's winter but we hold it (together)

Like our lives depended on it

No fluff built this with the proper components

That's why

(Together)

(Together)

Uh-huh What's unity without family right Eh

Pops in the cemetery bro was in the military

Mom ain't got a mister and I got 5 sisters

Only two I'm not in contact with No grudges

Man I'm too old to be on that ish Still love'em and

If you're listening I hope life's treating you well

And your thirst for success too strong for you to fail

Lesson learned from my fam in fact

The very thing that helped me make it through hell and back

And I'm cool

How fire gon' burn the sun Don't be a fool

I learned what resilient meant because of you and (together)

We continue to make it through

Cancer Mental Illness Diabetes and who

Knows what else but I'll tell you what we can do

Raise our kids healthier and wiser but we gotta do it (together)

For Dillain Octy & Ren Ren

And all my little fam a better future's within them yeah

(Together)

(Together)

Yo

I ain't even gotta know you to show you love

'Cause nowadays complete strangers could be your blood

So I treat everybody like a cous' on a GP

Until your attitude switch from love to "bleep" me

Everybody and their mama from the street

But when it need improvements they forget it completely

How you gonna make a child and not raise'em

Tell me can you love your God and not praise him

Same goes for your offspring or it fall on

Me to make everything alright when it's all wrong

Call on me we share a common enemy

Inner-turmoil from not knowing our true identity

Turn our backs on the exact ones we should bond with

I got your back young we need action to make progress (Together)

We can conquer any nonsense

Invest in one another and our people shall profit

Lets start it
