When I Have You

(album: The Idea Of Beautiful - 2012)

[Nomsa Mazwai:]
Flowers growing
While it's snowing
We don't have anything now
But I have you, you, you, you, you, you

[Rapsody:]
For everyone that supported the dream
I appreciate you
I got mad love for you

I caught a story of a graduate at 82 years old
I guess we all dreamers at the end of the day though
Doors I knocked on looking for somewhere to lay low
Mama remind every chance you get, Marlanna get pesos
She helped me bought a house and a brand new four door
Before that all my friends let me sleep on their sofos
Bought me kids meals cause pride wouldn't let me ask for more
And 9th had to tell me we all need help, let it go
Cause pride was eating me and I ain't know how to take from
Use to giving all the time and I ain't feel right getting some
She bought a new car and I wouldn't drive it
I felt guilty cause the old car she had was barely riding
Looked me in the face and said the ones winning got ones beside 'em
Baby girl we got your back, just promise you'll keep trying
Countless times I pray to God thank him, I'm crying for my blessings
Got me in stu daily and rhyming for you

I treasure y'all like diamonds
Fake ones I had in my life can't find 'em
They say God got a silly way with timing
And so I show 'em all love, one love, one love

I treasure y'all like diamonds
Fake ones I had in my life can't find 'em
They say God got a silly way with timing
And so I show 'em all love, one love, one love

We all dreamers at the end of the day looking a way out
Surrounded by fakers and takers that want a pay out
This ain't dedicated to them that brought the grey out
Only meant for the rent that my mama helped me to pay out
My friends with a couch and a blanket that let me lay out
Showers that they let me come over and take at they house
Appreciate my bosses that didn't fire me; lay offs
For the no shows cause I was at studios getting raps off
Hats off for patience my family gave me in favours
Good meals and gave me money to make it
All the conversations and knowledge that 9th gave me
My sister kicked me out, I ain't mad though cause it raised me
Grew up'd hella fast, like Eminem daughter Hailey
And every fan I got in this world, you all save me
Everytime you in your crib or your car now and you play me
The love that you show put me on and helped to make me
For real

I treasure y'all like diamonds
Fake ones I had in my life can't find 'em
They say God got a silly way with timing
And so I show 'em all love, one love, one love

I treasure y'all like diamonds
Fake ones I had in my life can't find 'em
They say God got a silly way with timing
And so I show 'em all love, one love, one love

I treasure y'all like diamonds
Fake ones I had in my life can't find 'em
They say God got a silly way with timing
And so I show 'em all love, one love, one love

I treasure y'all like diamonds
Fake ones I had in my life can't find 'em
They say God got a silly way with timing
And so I show 'em all love, one love, one love
