[Guru] Dedicated to all my peeps who looked out over the years Knawhat I'm sayin'? This one's for you [Chorus] For you: dedicated true I'm doin' this one for you For you: dedicated true I'm doin' this one for you [Guru] To my moms and my pops: I'm glad you stayed together I don't know too many people to demonstrate true love better Nowadays kids don't have anyone But you were there and determined to make me get plenty done Yes, to achieve although a lot of times I hurt you But I'm matured now; I'm showin' you my true virtue As I deliver to you an oath of never-ending love Admiration and respect, for there is nothing above A mother's strength and a father's concern There was guidance no matter which way I turned Yo, pops, if I could be half the man you are, I'd be a star Moms, thanks for pushin' me real far As I proceed through the tundra and harsh winds I think, reviewin' what you've instilled within So I'm takin' time out to let you know Once a boy, now a man; thanks for helpin' me grow [Chorus x 2] [Guru] Goin' out to my peoples for all the times we've spent Fifty deep up in the party, gettin' crazy, stupid bent Around the block, puffin' lye, cruisin' in the car Whatever we was doin', I won't forget it, Baby Pah When I had no dough, you were there You hooked me with some ends to show me that you cared You stood by me through the ups and downs While the other fakin' clowns tried to start hangin' around See, you were always genuine That's why respect is due, and I got you on my mind A lot of people might not understand the way we click We're rollin' thick, hittin' harder than a ton of bricks With all the drama and the phony personas I'd rather check my man, so we can share some knowledge If the streets were college, some emcees would flunk out Sendin' shouts to my peeps, crazy love no doubt [Chorus] [Guru] A true friend, kid, is mad, mad rare Trustin' others is a risk; a lot of things ain't fair 'Cause where I be at, a lot of strange things happen, Jack You can know a kid for years, and still, he'll stab you in the back But that's alright 'cause I'm a good judge of character And me and my family - we maintain the balance to Master the challenges of life Like the chain and the star, we link up to shine mad bright To all my boys way across the country Dealin' with the struggle - the good, the bad, and the ugly Yo, under pressure we're the best No matter what the circumstance, no matter how much stress Our force has the power to bring forth change I'd rather see us succeed than feel shame or go insane Dedicated to my fam that supported You shall always, I said always, be applauded [Chorus x 2]
