Everything Lyrics

Thank you for tuning in to UBN
Yeah, uh

Yeah! Ayo!
I laid in my bed and thought about everything
The light, dark and the heavy things
The house, the kids, the wedding rings
It ain't the piece that I've never seen
Divine light that'll shine so bright and so white
It's like they got it outta Medellin
Let me set the scene
The fruits of your talents
Hanging in the balance like a brand new evergreen
It come crashing down as soon as the machete swings
Looking for better things
Lookin' for that same energy that niggas talk but never bring
No original thought, anti-inflammatory medicinal bars
Special edition, a pause, for combat hate gone and niggas we lost
My man was heavy on my mind so I gave him a call
Remember when I couldn't picture this vision at all
A little riddle only time intended to solve
My foundation tend to hide all the little flaws (huh)
Fresh off an R&R (huh)
We celebrate the healing scars
Back to back like it's no tomorrow
Another chapter for the memoir, here we are

Everything I did for you
After all you put me through
Maybe then you'll start to see
Everything you mean to me (come on)
Everything I did for you (yeah)
After all you put me through (okay)
Maybe then you'll start to see (oh)
Everything you mean to me

I laid in my bed and thought about everything
And you know what idle time bring
It bring you further from the place where you design schemes
That had your life tucked deep behind the glass screen
Picturin' perfection, when perfect just a perception
A fantasy that last long as an erection
There's no discretion
You've been ill advised
The look in her eyes
Behind the pain and disdain
Lies a truer guy remembering the better times
You know shit just happens, she heard better lines
Tip toeing 'round the house, quiet little mouse
Maybe she ignored all the warning signs
Reality kinda mortifying
Y'all apart in the future kinda horrifying
Faded picture broken glass, let a little time pass
You'll see, it's love here and there's no denying

Black man, so defiant, all wound up like he Nolan Ryan
Ready to take the battlefield with his soldiers dying
Whole time got wifey on his shoulder crying
Got a Miyagi on your side, why you Cobra Kai'ing?
He admitted, "my sex drive is fuckin' me"
Mans in recovery but relapse into a pair of double d's
Somewhere inside a fuckin' double tree
Right outside Montgomery, this is how it comes to be
When you get into what's lying underneath
Talkin' 'bout the cycle, never broken, I'm exposin' what it's done to me
For generations, exhibit some more patience (huh)
A little piece is all we chasin'

Everything I did for you
After all you put me through
Maybe then you'll start to see
Everything you mean to me (yeah)
Everything I did for you (uh)
After all you put me through (okay)
Maybe then you'll start to see (ah)
Everything you mean to me

Huh, huh, huh, liar, liar, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Liar, liar, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The UBN movie of the week, "everything", starring Wendell Pierce
As Phonte And Keenan Thompson as rapper Big Pooh, coming this fall
Liar, liar, ah
