Artist: Terrace Martin f/ Neka Brown, Kendrick Lamar Album: Locke High 2 Song: Reasons for Seasons Typed by: newos_crib_is@hotmail.com [Terrace Martin] Tuh, it's big T.M. leaning off the Seagreens Eyes bloodshot, look at 'em and you'll see him Now who we've become but his mother's son? The same one who avoided guns and picked up the drums Had you marching to a different beat, stood you on your feet I looked out, helped you off the streets I gave you advice to heed, a new life to lead In return, you took my kindness for weak When I was at my lowest, truest colors started showing Niggas I called friends wasn't answering they phone then Cuh, that's when Quik' words rang true Be careful who you hand your celebrity to Uh, didn't get it till that very instant Since then, between me and them I put a little distance Niggas so lame for saying bro, it's a shame Disloyal like a hoe, sold you soul for this game and you still broke nigga [Chorus: Neka Brown] Sometimes people go as quick as they come They say that there's nothing new under the sun Cause time reveals all the reasons Things change in life, just like seasons [Kendrick Lamar] Little Kendrick from the Hub Can show you that my motive's always been to give you love I'm putting out good music in return to build a buzz that's bigger than life itself, or some bubble kush plug Won't you look the mirror? You see a pair of eyes that's quite similar to mines and if you do that shit should scare ya Baby brother of Compton tryna the accomplish the impossible with obstacles at my daily grinding, ohh no Here come the critics, but not from the magazines, I mean the blocks that be so-called mad at me, they're mean As soon as success is in my favor They'll try to break down my character, like I ain't from their heritage Quite frankly, it'll hurt my soul to hear a nigga that I know talking bad and tryna play me Like we ain't had pellet gun fights, falling off of minibikes In a Buick bumping Clipse with no AC, why would you shame me? [Chorus] [Interlude: Terrace Martin] Yeah, mm, so I was driving home last night on the 1-0-1 freeway and I look up, and there's a sign that says 'Love your friends and love your family' And I thought to myself, why do we use these words so loose? Love, friends and family I mean, if love is involved, why do friends and family hurt us? And why do we hurt them? It's kind of like we all forgot the true definition of love to begin with Tuh, the one thing I do know, I nor you can be accountable for what somebody else does to us We can only be accountable for what we do to them So instead of saying that's my friend, that's my family, and it's love Huh, I'ma say this to y'all [Neka Brown] So many words we say ain't really What are we really saying? People never change Truth will be the same
