Generate meaning
1
You live
2
[Verse:]
3
How bout them bullets ain't slow you up
4
You ain't really die and we watched you grow up
5
At twelve months you took ya first steps
6
Awkwardly across the kitchen floor to your best
7
Your first breaths that we can call words
8
In ya fathers lap on November 23rd
9
And They were "live for me" and he did for you
10
Flipped to neutron and stayed inside the crib for you
11
And this commitment from ya father imparted a deep sense of value you'd forever harbor
12
And we were all so proud as we seen you gettin' smarter
13
And the bond grow deeper between a mother and a daughter
14
Cause you were not a martyr
15
[Verse 2:]
16
At six you started reading whole books
17
At seven you knew how a brain looked
18
And could roughly describe all the different regions
19
Could tell when we were sick and even knew the reason
20
The world wasn't at peace
21
Gunfire every weekend
22
But you were hardly there
23
Cause you was always leaving
24
Field museum planetarium aquarium
25
You saw something special in that tank you were starin' in
26
And in those moments as a little girl you realized it was a bigger world
27
Bigger than the southside
28
Bigger than Chicago
29
And you were bigger but still wanted on rims on ya car though
30
And big ass woofers in ya car door
31
So you could wang like ya daddy at the park eating sharks
32
Went to King where you were teased for being smart
33
Where you bumped into Hadiya teaching art.
34
You Live forever
35
[Verse 3:]
36
At sixteen is when you got you scholarship
37
At twenty-two is when you got ya doctorate
38
Even now it's kinda hard to believe
39
But ya father taught you work hard and achieve
40
And you complied
41
Accepted by every medical school you applied
42
But the coolest thing is when they offered you that high paying slot you replied
43
"They need me in the hood" and that's where you reside
44
Free clinic, nobody denied
45
And that's where you heard the shots and quickly ran outside
46
And saw a man and van and a bleeding baby in his hands
47
Fading fast but you knew she could survive
48
Did everything you could to keep this girl alive
49
Stabilized until the ambulance arrived
50
And In that moment where you gave your help, bet you didn't know that you saved yourself
51
You live forever
52
Lord have mercy
