how many? - brandon nembhard lyrics
[intro]
you know, i can
remember seeing my uncle
on his farm
standing in the rain
with a smile on his face
my cousins stood under shelter
laughing end
it stuck with me because
all he said was
“it’s a good day”
[verse 1]
how many been through a lot?
how many connected the dots?
how many saw through the lines, the queues?
how many calling the shots?
how many times has time defined
what i love when i could not?
how many times will i deny
what’s mine and i blame it on god?
it’s timing
incredible shots need lighting, styling
even the goat needs guidance
no man is a island
but i grew up on two
two types of violencе
one, they’ll look your eyе
and question your pride and find it
one minimised the mind to likes of mindless
and called it your class
do what you can and do what you can’t
cook in a pan or cook in a pot
you think you’re the man
they think that you’re not
you think you’re her
they think that you’re lost
they frame you as “other” but they an get cropped
i’m paying the price
whatever it costs
[chorus]
at the end of the day i’ll give it to god
at the end of the day i’ll give it to god
at the end of the day i’ll give it to god
at the end of the day i’ll give it to god
yo!
[bridge]
the rose that grew from the block
the kids seen as a stock
no early investments, tried and tested
a place where everyone mocks
examine the world from the bottom
and maybe you’ll see where the meaning is lost
the cost?
the idea of love
knocking on doors that n0body locks
[verse 2]
how many been through a lot?
how many connected the dots?
how many saw through the lines, the queues?
how many calling the shots?
how many times has time defined what i love when i could not?
how many times will i deny what’s mine and blame it on god?
things changing
with the tick of the clock, we’re lifting it up
we’re bringing the crops with patience
water the soil with a pot that’s makeshift
they put rope in a knot then blame it
we put hope in a box then claim it
trickling down but no like reagan
but yeah
at the end of the i’ll give it to god
[chorus]
at the end of the day i’ll give it to god
at the end of the day i’ll give it to god
at the end of the day i’ll give it to god
yo!
[verse 3]
saw the vision, copacetic
taught the system how to get it
through they read it, they forget it
often skimming, no retention
done pretending, learnt my lesson
yeah, yeah!
through the mission, just beginning
know the ending, message sending
from the present, to the next
legacy is what you stand for
standing by who can’t call
see, saw, feel, felt
love is not a resource
nor a product you can recall
just because you need more
looking for a bond that couldn’t be forged
report when you got it under lock
seafloor, yet the wave sitting at the top
leasehold culture, wales bonner on your top
on your block like the peacecorp
[outro]
(laughing)
it’s a good day
