Intentions (feat. Nina)

Yeah
Ms. Jackson, my intentions were good, I wish I could
Ms. Jackson, my intentions were good, I wish I could
Yeah
Ms. Jackson, my intentions were good, I wish I
Look
Running this race with few supporters to endorse us
Believe in beating the odds in this course without cutting corners
A small town dude, but my dreams are enormous
Working hard in hopes these big city lights will shine upon us
But for my family sake, I kindly do the honors
Work endlessly through these nights, losing sleep just to change our life
Critiquing each bar I write, obsessing to get it right
And no need to worry momma, I promise, I'll be alright
And I know I barely call, but I'm older, those days behind us
Your overdue hospital bills serve as daily reminders
Of what I need to focus on, you struggling on your own
So I'm spending all my time just to make this music timeless
So I can bring us both those better days
With nice views and some better shade, less dues and better pay
I can't ignore what destiny has in store
And pardon my absence, but these dreams I can't be tardy for
But time I'm spent providing is time from them I'm denying
Hear anger in my mother's voice, but inside I know she's crying
Saying, "I never hear from you, why you do me like that?"
And though I know it's a good reason, it's hard to answer her back
So when truth speaks the loudest, I just silence the facts
Ignoring those call logs is just a balancing act, in fact
To be honest, the only times I really call
Is when I see her missed calls and I'm just calling her back, man
Make it worst, I haven't wrote my brother lately
Avoiding grabbing that pen until finally guilt makes me
This now becomes a trend, so every letter that I send
Starts with apologies and thoughts of how he probably hates me
This is my life, I just hope that I'm forgiven
'Cause when choices are permitted, always best to skip permission
Look me in my eyes, I'm only just a man
Take me for who I am, I hope they understand
Who knew love could hurt ones you do love
Just look what all can happen when you abuse love, say
My intentions, it's my intentions
Tare your world apart was never in my intentions, hey
Who knew love could hurt ones you do love
Just look what all can happen when you abuse love, say
My intentions, it's my intentions
Tare your world apart was never in my intentions, hey
Tare your world apart was never in my intentions
(Never in my intentions)
No
Who knew love, love, love (Ms. Jackson, my intentions were good, I wish I)
(Ms. Jackson, my intentions were good, I wish I)
Dear Ms. Wonderful, thank you for your support
And your honesty, two things I never could sell short
All credit's given to you, you guided me on this path
Just take away what you added, a dummy can do that math
And my token from me to you is just to make you proud
Remember that New Year's Eve I grabbed you from the crowd
And I went and played you my music, and Lord knows I was nervous
Hoping that you would love it and hoping this isn't worthless
To my surprise, it was worth it, you told me I had a purpose
Bought into my dreams, can't believe you believed in me
You showed your faith by love with every ounce you squeezed in me
Said I'm working with something that's big like Lil' Cease in me
You done a lot, so now I'm paying you back tenfold
But it's hard for me to pull you up when my 'ends low
Give me a chance to show your effort's not in vain
Plotting moves to make some change, just for us to make a change
But when I'm showing respect, all she see is neglect
'Cause the more I pour in the music, the more that we disconnect
Saying, "Why I need your money when my heart you can't protect
All I want from you is you, nothing more, keep your check"
And when that stress starts building and boils over
And now our days are filled with less thrills and cold shoulders
Never noticed how less becomes more as you grow older
Never fought before, but now we at war, over and over
Yeah, so now we back in this predicament
Where we argue every time we kicking it
Man, when those negatives get exposed
And your anger develops slow, it never ends the way you pictured it
Un momento, baby, slow up your tempo
You fighting for a slice of my heart, that's word to Kimbo
Some things I wish that I could take back just like a rental
But it's not that simple
And you just screaming out your mental like
