Claim My Place (Interlude)

(album: Press Play - 2006)

Sometimes I try to figure out
Just why
Why you are the way you are
You ... You make it so hard for me to love you

Hold up now
Listen ... I ain't gonna try to sit here and say I'm perfect
You know
I mean ... I'm trying to do the best I can
With my time here on earth
You know ... You know my mother
Mama always say that I'd be somebody
You know
So you know, I figured that I might as well be great
You know
I mean, it's hard to understand how I am
Some shit you just don't really need to be
Mother fucking understanding though
I mean God put me here for a reason
And I'm here to let these mother fuckers know

I've come to claim my place

I've come to claim my place

I'll show you the way

A lot of people don't understand
They'll understand one day though

I just like to make people feel good
I really feel I can do anything
I really truly believe in God that way
So much that I believe in myself
I guess I'm kinda like my father
You know, Who had a relentless spirit
You know
He would stop at nothing to achieve his goal
You now nowadays
A lot of these mother fuckers don't understand that
They gonna have to handle it
Yeah, you feel me

I've come to claim my place
And I ain't gonna stop
I ain't gonna never stop
I thank y'all for riding with me
Thank y'all for rocking with me
Through this journey
It's just begun
And I wanna take the time to say
Thank you

Listen to everything he says
I've come to claim my place

I truly appreciate you
And I love ya
Ain't nothing else to say
