T.A.M.I.

(Pep Love) My women, to all my black women T-A-M-I, huh Dear T.A.M.I., my heart bleeds for you Words on a page, my calm and my rage Beauty that's undescribed, we coincide in one vibe Given the rhythm that makes me come alive And I, been thinkin about this for awhile When I mention my love for you, feelin like a child inside Fortified by the image of your face See she's the one that sat a nigga down and laced me I remember you, as a little girl Daddy was gone, had never been in your world Mother was strugglin, three jobs jugglin You seemed oblivious, like it wasn't nothin T.A.M.I. shine with the brilliance Bounce with resilience Work with the cards that you dealt with Life was hard, and I was too young to see You had a crush on me, that was dumb to me I just wanted to run the streets Holla at the ho's, drink fo' oh's But when I take a moment and think I sink into the ink and begin imaginin Her strength and how it's makin me weak I never thought I would've thought it was me But when I, close my eyes and get a vision of love She's all that I see Ghetto diamond, free from confinement Sparks in my mind lit flames in my heart, the part that is Chorus (2x) T.A.M.I., the only one that understand me (All for you, it's really all for you) Days and nights I count away, she remind me (All for you, it's really all for you) Of dreams and things my inspiration brings into a world so crazy (All for you, it's really all for you) I look in your eyes and see a woman risin All the guys been, tryin ta get between ya thighs And true lies they tell, what your innocence hides They never would've never guessed, you were so wise I feel blessed to be able to see the part of you that's more special I remember the stress, you passed the test Plus you never needed to fuss through the strife and toil You taught me how to keep my head high, now my life is yours And I apologize for the things I did to cause you pain I SPEAK not these words in vain, my days and nights Are spent tryin ta put my name in lights Convinced mommy raised me right It only makes sense that you would be the one for me I know you been with others but you savin some for me You ain't mine, I would never try to contain you Let you shine, and with this I put it all on the line I find that it's Chorus At night we take flight On into the morning to the day's first light We blaze the purple haze, count the ways The world rotates and stays crazy But never faze me, we travel the maze Gaze at the stars, lust and expensive cars Material dreams, results of extensive scars Nobody, knows but you when the doors are closed My wars unfold, and few these stories told Chorus (2x) Dear T.A.M.I., my heart bleeds for you Words on a page, my calm and my rage Beauty that's undescribed, we coincide in one vibe Given the rhythm that makes me come alive And I, been thinkin about this for awhile When I mention my love for you, feelin like a child inside Fortified by the image of your face See she's the one that sat a nigga down and laced me I remember you, as a little girl Daddy was gone, had never been in your world Mother was strugglin, three jobs jugglin You seemed oblivious, like it wasn't nothin T.A.M.I. shine with the brilliance Bounce with resilience Work with the cards that you dealt with Life was hard, and I was too young to see You had a crush on me, that was dumb to me I just wanted to run the streets Holla at the ho's, drink fo' oh's But when I take a moment and think I sink into the ink and begin imaginin Her strength and how it's makin me weak I never thought I would've thought it was me But when I, shut my eyes and get a vision of love She's all that I see Ghetto diamond, free from confinement Sparks in my mind lit flames in my heart, the part that is Chorus (4x fading out)
