So, it's the weekend and I'm minding my business... ya' know, just chillin'./
This voice behind me says "biGG J-Love! Why you leave the big city?"/
I said, "Hold on! How do you even know my name?"/
She said, "I'm Garifuna and I hear in Los Angeles your name is stained."/😮
I told her, "Listen to this👂here numada(friend), I don't give a damn what people say!/
I'm Bobbyork's son! I have a crown 👑 on my head!/
The Queen 👑 that push me out her womb is royally blessed!/
...and she told me, "Travel the world my 👑son, The Most High ☝ will protect you when you're ready to leave the🏘nest./
No🚫worries, no🚫fear, I release you from my chest/
...To go conquer the🌍world, and see what's best,/
... for you to pursue a good🔭view of what's new./
You have the spirit of your GARIFUNA✊ancestors to guide and protect you!"/
Enough said, because Dammit I did!/
I grabbed what I could and left the🚶🏡crib./
I picked up a sailors⚓uniform and traded in my bib./
At 17 years young, I flipped the📜script/
I'm on my own now! ... finally making legal💲💲💲dividends./
I NEVER BEEN AFRAID of change and that's my old testament./
My new one is to become💭wise and wealthy💲and protect💪my👑👑👑👑👑👑kids/
... from the enemy. Don't matter if their so-called💔friends or💔relatives!/
You see, F*ck What People Say! And I say it with conviction!!!!/
They laughed at me when I was 💔down. Yeah! I heard them🗣whispering./
Cowards! Can't look me in my eyes, but I clearly👁see their😈evil intentions./
One more time "F*CK WHAT PEOPLE SAY!"/
I'M a proud GARIFUNA 👑!!! And if you're not with me, I suggest you get out of my way!
"F.W.P.S"
