*Lyrics*
Yeah, yeah, it's the foundation
The blackness for real
A to the DL
Our money
There we go
You gave me all of your lovin'
Gave me wings to fly, now I feel free
I'm an open book, come and read me
Let me show you a path, come follow me
You changed my life forever
Gave me wings to fly, now I feel free
I'm an open book, come and read me
Let me show you a path, come follow me
Ay yo, I left my wallet in El Segundo
Stuck on the island feeling like Marlon Brando
When beauty struck, I dove off the bounty
And swam towards the shore of some foreign country
Thinking, let's go crazy like PR plans
It's all about survival, but I wasn't convinced
And now this big city kid's lost with nothing to lean on
Oh, I'm missing your touch and the way you kept me warm
I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place
There's nothing else to do but fall flat on my face
You say these words and speak the truth
I'm reminiscing on times and the ways of the youth
Listen, it's clear we're lost and need to get back
I need you like a feend needs crack
I ain't afraid to say it, I said it many times
Shukran, thanking you between these lines
You gave me all of your lovin'
Gave me wings to fly, now I feel free
I'm an open book, come and read me
Let me show you a path, come follow me
You changed my life forever
Gave me wings to fly, now I feel free
I'm an open book, come and read me
Let me show you a path, come follow me
You gave back my life
Made me realize
That my destiny
Is to be free
But you taught me so many lessons
About being who I want to be
So this points to me being so valuable
For those gifts are what you've given me
Ay yo, ladies and gentlemen, for real, here we go
You gave me all of your lovin'
Gave me wings to fly, now I feel free
I'm an open book, come and read me
Let me show you a path, come follow me
You changed my life forever
Gave me wings to fly, now I feel free
I'm an open book, come and read me
Let me show you a path, come follow me
Shabab, let's get specific and get down to business
I had to pray before that, our boy witnessed
Then I felt the peace that was so secure
Imagine me, a wild boy following divine law
But hey, it feels good and to each his own
But I want to put you down in my little love zone
Because the Most High loved the patient ones
Our money, what you tell them about the strivin' ones
And you made me cross over mountains
But the feeling of your presence also clear
Will I ever be able to thank you
When lovely, your truth is always here
Always here
Yeah
You gave me all of your lovin'
Gave me wings to fly, now I feel free
I'm an open book, come and read me
Let me show you a path, come follow me
You changed my life forever
Gave me wings to fly, now I feel free
I'm an open book, come and read me
Let me show you a path, come follow me
Come on
You gave me all of your lovin'
Gave me wings to fly, now I feel free
I'm an open book, come and read me
Let me show you a path, come follow me
You changed my life forever
Gave me wings to fly, now I feel free
I'm an open book, come and read me
Let me show you a path, come follow me
