Yeah, lets go deep, nah mean
Feel me on this one right here yo
Here we go, yo, follow me close

Yo, if you take a look deep at
My soul you see a fire burning
A higher learning
Part the sea dog and I'm emerging
There was a time my life was
All about a hot ride
Until my pops died turned my life lopside
If there was a way to bring
You back nobody showed me one
You was my only pops, I'm still your only son
Disagreed a lot but kept love ahead of pride
Damn I wish I coulda said goodbye
So what I did was I asked
The Lord to hold you down
Cause for the family dog imma hold you down
All in the same breath I thank
The Lord for what I have
To y'all it might not be a
Lot but it's what I have
Indeed, I got mouths to feed without
(a seed?) a few hungry niggas thats down
To bleed for me
See liggidy-life ain't always what
It seems to be but I'm focused now I'm right
Where I need to be

Say when mi look up ina mi
Life it's plain to see
Yo it's never gonna be the same
Take another step on towards my destiny
But the memories still remain
Deep ina mi brain inna mi soul I hold the key
Yo it's never gonna be the same
Throughout all life and beyond all eternity
Yo I keep burnin up the flame

Yo, yo
I miggidy-move in the frame of a calm cat
Mortal Kombat Yin and Yang
One step beyond rap i learned
Things don't always go according to plan
So all in all for what it's
Worth I'm now a stronger man
I see life a lot clearer
Still wish you was a lot nearer
I look at myself see visions of
My pops in the mirror
It's wild, sometimes it hurts when I breathe
Like it hurt to know you never
See the birth of my seed
You was there for my birth in the
Ps and to ya last breath
And made sure I had food and kept a address
Plus you knew I had a mind of my own
You taught me game and left the rest
For me to find one my own
Now that I'm grown I envy you
One son two daughters
As long as I'm underneath the
Sun above the blue waters
Imma continue to move forwards
And I'm not done
Til the world know exactly why
I'm my pop's son

Keep burning uppa the flame
The flame, never gonna ever be the same
The same, keep burning uppa the flame
The flame, got memories will now remain
Remain, keep burning uppa the flame
The flame, never gonna ever be the same
The same, keep burning uppa the flame
The flame, till jah jah link we again
