《The Creator》歌词

[00:00:00] The Creator - WC And The Maad Circle

[00:00:05] This one here's for The Creator

[00:00:39] 'Trying to get over ' like Curtis Mayfield said

[00:00:42] I was a problem child running wild in the night

[00:00:45] Livin on a not-so-safe set of life

[00:00:47] Caught up in the rapture quick to blast ya

[00:00:51] Neglected as a juvenile so labelled a 'ghetto bastard'

[00:00:53] Forced to live the life of a hoodster on the prowl

[00:00:56] Goin through my life with a permanent frown

[00:00:58] But still you stood by me and you got me here safely

[00:01:01] Never turned away from me when others lost faith in me

[00:01:03] Even when I was a non-believer and doubted your existence

[00:01:07] You still shed mercy on my ignorance

[00:01:10] How can I say this no words can't explain

[00:01:12] How much I thank you for helpin me deal with the pain

[00:01:15] For sparin my life at times I thought I was through

[00:01:18] All praise is due here's to you

[00:01:20] So

[00:01:20] [ CHORUS

[00:01:21] This is for the lover in you

[00:01:26] This is for the things that you do

[00:01:33] This time I will take up for you

[00:01:38] Cause your love's gon' last forever

[00:01:41] Now as I reminisce like Minnie Riperton in a Pendleton

[00:01:44] I'm havin flashbacks 'lookin at these photographs'

[00:01:46] Glancin at old flicks of me and my dogs

[00:01:49] Thinkin how we all played little league football

[00:01:52] No set-trippin we was down for one another

[00:01:55] >From pups to mutts we came up Westside hustlers

[00:01:58] You couldn't stop us no matter what you told us

[00:02:00] Starched Curduroys with the fresh peachy folders

[00:02:03] Washington High School damn them was the days

[00:02:05] The 12th grade came and we went our own ways

[00:02:08] Doin what we had to do to make ends meet

[00:02:11] Some of us went to college and some kicked the streets

[00:02:14] Some of us passed away some just faded

[00:02:16] Some turned snitch and some is incarcerated

[00:02:19] Me I been blessed to catch wreck over beats

[00:02:22] But without you this wouldn't be complete

[00:02:24] So

[00:02:24] [ CHORUS

[00:02:25] This is for the lover in you

[00:02:30] This is for the things that you do

[00:02:35] This time I will take up for you

[00:02:40] Cause your love's gon' last forever

[00:02:47] (Ooh child things ain't gettin any easier )

[00:02:52] Survivin in the ghetto you gotta stay strong

[00:02:54] But realistically no man out here can make it alone

[00:02:57] Ain't no sleepin none of us creepin

[00:02:58] I see the men that's in the streets and

[00:03:01] Smokers fiendin the drama got me thinkin

[00:03:04] How I need to play as if I was a Stylistic

[00:03:06] And stop and look and listen

[00:03:07] Take a second out to count my blessings

[00:03:09] Cause you coulda laid me down a long time ago

[00:03:11] But you let me live and God knows I ain't a angel

[00:03:13] So I'ma take this opportunity to flip the script

[00:03:16] For the lover of you cause props is due

[00:03:19] For sparin my life at times I thougth I was through

[00:03:21] I gotta give it up here's to you

[00:03:23] So

[00:03:24] [ CHORUS

[00:03:24] This is for the lover in you

[00:03:29] This is for the things that you do

[00:03:34] This time I will take up for you

[00:03:39] Cause your love's gon' last forever
