Control Songtext / Lyric

When you were growing up, I missed the laughs, I missed the fun

Every time you left heading to ATL, I felt undone

Sometimes I wanted to talk, but hustlin' took its toll

Damn near gave the streets my soul

I will never be able to replace the time lost

Bein' a daddy and not a father is a hell of a cost

A big piece of me is you

As I reflect the man in the mirror, he gets so clearer

He wants to pull me in to start over

Black Ops this is not

This is something inside deep from your pops






Shit get better with time

You ever heard me say one lie in my rhyme?

Been doing a lot of thinking and a whole lot of praying

It's my only way to vent, what the hell is you saying?

Feel like I got a lot of people that's depending on me

Built a solid foundation, put the building on me

You remind me of myself so why you tripping on me?

I remember how it felt when my tank was on E

I remember how it felt when the money was low

Dirty dishes in the sink, mouse traps on the floor

Need to buy a bakery, the way I'm after the dough

Wonder why the hating me, I just practice and go

One thing I learned, time don't wait for nobody

Love the feeling I can finally tell my momma I got it

Love the feeling I can finally take a look in my wallet

See some hunnids in that mothafucka, maybe I'm wilding



Shit get better with time

I said shit get better with time

Shit get better with time

Shit get better with time

Let's go



R.I.P. aunt Randie, I got something to say

Keep ya head up unc, trust the lord and your faith

Momma just told me grandma ain't doing too well

Ever sicne she gave me hope, I've been giving them hell

Back then with the juice jugs shooting the cans

Where I come from, from niggas shooting they mans

Where I come from, nigga, nobody safe

Where I come from, like no other place

And I love that I'm just trying to be around where the love at

Niggas beefing over bitches, we above that

I ain't smoked all day, where the drugs at?

Shawty tryna go some rounds, where my gloves at?

Even though you wasn't around, I can't blame you

You is who you is, I can never change you

Life lessons that will show me what the game do

It made me who I am so I got to thank you



Shit get better with time

I said shit get better with time

Shit get better with time

Shit get better with time

Let's go



Hold up, wait can't believe they want more

30 cent bag of chips on the corner store

Doing 'bout a hunnid, youngin' always on go

Say you getting pussy, why you stressing 'bout a ho?

Nigga pay attention, I'm the man on the low

Fuck that shit, I'm the man on the high

Last time I checked, the only time I got fooled

When R Kelly told me he believed he could fly



I knew how passionate he was (forreal)

You know, he used to write every day

He'd go downstairs, stay down there for hours

That's all my house was, a studio

When you find the one, that he stays up all night for

That's the one that you need to get behind and push him

He's been consistent since day one
