Aye yo-once upon a time in Detroit There was this man named Rob He had just got outta work He wiped the sweat off his brow He had a child, had a boy On the floor with his toys Back up in Baltimore Who was four, maybe five He realized, that by the time he was sixty His kid would probably be frisky With some fine young lady Who was into committing He knew his son had a vision And he swore he wasn't gon' miss it But he worked every shift Did it all through the night Just to provide for the wife But time after time, his baby boy cried Cause he needed a Papa Bear To be there when he wasn't there So he quit his job Got one closer to home To show his son that real fathers Don't leave they kin on the road And man, even though All that was ages ago He fall asleep on the porch And he's just waiting to go All he knows is that His family's finally top of the world And his son is amazed Cause now he looks at him like, whoa What is a name Or the fame that it brings Or the diamond ring That your girl wears? Who we are Who we are I cannot tell There's so many places You could've fell from And I won't know until I get there Okay now - once upon a time In this place called Queens A momma gave birth to a King And so it seemed He was a palpable soul Who was surely ready To steadily devour the world With a father that had a father That was accountable For all the things that were true When money was an issue He never beamed of confusion So the baby's father decided To cut school Out of his love to equations Subtract all the hatred And just have a baby Then give him his all Yo, ain't that amazing Even though he lost his girl He never complained He just looked straight up to God And gave him his faith Said nah, nah You best remember Our boy gon' be a star Know he an angel But he been flying far To get to us he must of flew Over Heaven and Mars Just to land in our arms Girl how lucky we are To have this situation And every day While he watches that one seed Bloom into a tree He just looks at him like, whoa What is a name Or the fame that it brings Or the diamond ring Thar your girl wears? Who we are Who we are I cannot tell There's so many places You could've fell from And I won't know until I get there And then there's me Flow is hot, flow is fly Flow is unidentified Rod about to shoot you Out the sky again a second time Got a lot of people Who done crossed on To the other side, telling God Please protect that boy Down there with seraph eyes I'm terrified; terrorized by the lengths Of my imaginative mind Is it true that I'm one of a kind True that I'm going someplace in life And deserve to be there Am I more than appears More than my peers Nevermind, those ain't answers I truly I desire This is more of a thing I do on the side To make sure of who I am Who am I? Well if you gotta know I always do-never try I don't just move on miss I float right on by And heck, I can barely With up with myself Got projects stacked on the shelf And not a listener for 'em I write a story, there's always a sequel I write a third and there's always Some people pushing me 'round Cause of what I do-damn What I got to lose? I need time to discover my roots Can't wear crown And not know know the troops For real, I got some holes to fill I've never watched my town, Only analyzed the tears of youth There's a difference Never heard a gunshot 'round here But I can tell they selling and cooking Look, you got a story I'm willing to tell it You keep it quiet, I'm fixing to yell it Like-like, once upon a time in Detroit Upon a time in Queens Upon a time on this Earth There were billions and billions Of souls searching for a purpose They already knew But since I found it Let me share it with you, it's you Yeah-yeah, I'm talking to you And it might take a few For you to feel it as truth But I know that you will Cause generations have passed Just for me surpass Sit and ask how you are Or just question your dad Write this song as a verse So that you sing in it packs And it finally proves-you know What is a name Or the fame that it brings Or the diamond ring That your girl wears? What is a name Or the fame that it brings Or the diamond ring That your girl wears? What is a name Or the fame that it brings Or the diamond ring That your girl wears? Who we are I won't know until I get there...
