La' Von J - Geneva's Prayer Lyrics

Yeah yeah yeah
And this a letter to my grandmother
Geneva Williams
I wish I could say it to your face but I can't so
I gotta say it through a mic
You raised the mother that raised me
She look more like you everyday it's amazing
(Yes she does)
Wish you was here to see our growth
But I feel your presence so I never lost hope
(I knew you was)
Know you somewhere the distance
Was a youngin when you left us kind of feeling like I missed it
Like can't even remember my brother being out of prison
(Imma see you soon)
Yeah yeah yeah
But look, I know you watching over me in the night time
I hope I'm making you proud I let my light shine
(Yes I do, yes I do)
And I can't ever forget
We used to sing this little light of mine
Now you're my burning candle in the night time
That's exactly what she is, she watches over all her kids
Memories captured through a camera only way I see your face
I ain't lost too many others I gotta thank him for his grace
Now I gotta thank him for his blessings
Never learned too much in school but this life taught me some lessons
Hey momma it don't matter what they said now
The old me was lost but I'm found so he dead now
I done came out of that shell
And they done gave me a chance so I'm giving em'
Whoa, same place the lames go
I'm me in every element ain't ashamed no huh
But I can't stay with the same flow
(So what you gonna do?)
Let me switch it
I know you hearing my words but take the time out to listen
Don't be a boss be an owner that's the toughest position
Only A in life that matters is the one called ambition
I had a talk with the stars and they just told me to glisten hmm
The only A in life that matters is the one called ambition yeah, yeah
I had a talk with the stars and they just told me to glisten
Yeah they told me to glisten
So I gotta go get it
I ain't got time for sitting and I ain't got time for tripping
I gotta go get it yeah
Oh
They know his name now
It ain't no game now
Took so long to catch on but
Now they posting pictures to my songs and IG
Listening close for captions
And don't forget that the last name Jackson
Not the actor but natural when it comes to action
Took a little break but know my paper stacking
Now you can see we ain't even
This my blood sweat and tears man to me u anemic
I'm ten toes down
And you won't ever see me frown
Cause I got too many reasons to smile
Too many people that's counting on me
I put on for all my homies
I'm mr, gotta get it
Mr. the bar was hard
It take a moment to get it
And I know people who ain't make it to the finish
(That's real)
I'm Mr. if he rap it then he live it
I'm Mr. if he rap it then he live it
and i guess that's the difference
So guess I'm the realest
H-Town we the trillest
And I don't hang with no killers
And I don't hang with no dentist
But I know people that'll drill you
But I know people that'll drill you
And I'll never forget what you told me
Never forget what you told me
Never forget what you showed me uh
Geneva's Prayer
Amen
