08 - Small Loves Die

[00:10.85] Let me tell you what I'm on
[00:13.13] Small loves die
[00:14.33] Including my love a song
[00:15.68] Hip-hop's a temp lover
[00:16.95] And escort it to the morning
[00:18.45] But leaves you for another
[00:19.77] If you eat what culture covers
[00:21.22] I love it, but it ain't my bread
[00:23.01] Give me the Holy Word of God, fed
[00:25.01] Even my whole city
[00:26.04] Ethnicity and delivery
[00:27.56] Deeper than blood inside of me
[00:28.92] Design of my anatomy
[00:30.12] To the accent of my tongue
[00:31.53] The Chi of where I begun
[00:32.81] Will die when all is gone
[00:34.27] So long
[00:35.62] Farewell to little lovers
[00:37.03] You're a world of subtle troubles
[00:38.43] As such
[00:38.98] You play us suckers
[00:39.75] Like 13 and something
[00:41.19] Hoop dreams and false hustle
[00:42.64] Even the 90's they is gone
[00:44.19] The decades where we from
[00:45.37] They come, they con
[00:46.38] We love them, they charm
[00:47.38] We mourn so long
[00:49.50] If flesh be my fortune
[00:51.03] I fumble my call
[00:52.47] If Christ be my fortune
[00:53.76] He's found at the cross
[00:56.66] Little loves calling me daily
[01:02.01] Smaller loves driving me crazy
[01:04.45] Your ways are not mine
[01:08.72] Please change me
[01:13.17] Teach me the love of my savior
[01:16.91] I got love for my history
[01:19.15] My family tree's roots right in front of me
[01:21.48] Staring through the eyes
[01:22.23] Of my three sons and my wifey
[01:23.99] Now my company
[01:24.75] From continents beyond me
[01:26.16] Before me
[01:26.81] Puerto Rico, Bolivia
[01:28.48] Ireland and Germany
[01:29.57] Converging in the Chi
[01:30.99] And now my sons anatomy
[01:32.21] But it's all Tom foolery
[01:33.70] To think even fam
[01:35.02] Can fill the deepest leaks in me
[01:36.59] I'm blessed beyond the ministry
[01:37.96] I'm thankful for my family
[01:39.52] Close to the chest
[01:40.43] I speak candidly
[01:41.55] Large loves matter
[01:42.60] But large loves shatter to disaster
[01:44.61] When they plaster the foundation for my humanity
[01:46.84] And casually coax me to calamity
[01:48.90] If my life hits the fan of freaking tragedy
[01:51.64] Even art took my heart
[01:52.92] As the target of all I got
[01:54.37] But it's targets and it's darts
[01:55.61] Made me the target in my heart
[01:57.03] Left me bloody falling apart on bar walls
[01:59.02] If my bars didn't provoke applause
[02:00.73] Pause so long (daily)
[02:04.11] If flesh be my fortune
[02:05.44] I fumble my call
[02:06.88] If Christ be my fortune
[02:08.10] He's found at the cross
[02:11.28] Little love's calling me daily
[02:22.08] Small love's driving me crazy
[02:24.45] Your ways are not mine
[02:28.84] Please change me
[02:33.19] Teach me to love my Savior
[02:35.64] Little love's calling me daily
[02:44.11] Small love's driving me crazy
[02:46.59] Your ways are not mine
[02:50.85] Please change me
[02:55.22] Teach me the love of my Savior
[02:57.62]
