God had to break me all way down/ just to build me all way up/ life was all ocean boy I almost drowned/ thank the Lord I had my mind made up/ that I would pass any test, trial or obstacle/ my optical is so clear/ believing now that anything is possible/ faith got stronger/ started building with my father too/ Fresh Prince, No Heir had us beefin for a month or two/ he was uncomfortable/ hey, I couldn't blame him, I went at him on video/ he called me like really doe?/ you throwin salt on me and yo mama for the world to know?/ & hate being a Jr.?/ I just had to let my feelings show/ he ain't see the bigger picture/ all the love I got like "ay Will, bro I'm wit you. I know where you comin from word to my lil sister. Cuz our daddy wasn't there and we ain't even think he missed us."/ present on the telephone & absent on Christmas/ the feedback I got it outweighed his opinion/ like how you think I felt all dem years that you was missin/ built up more resentment/ heart cold, I'm from Michigan doe/ skin thick like that Michigan snow/ life had me tired, this my Michelin flow/ ya structure gon fall if the  base ain't shxt/ you gotta build it up strong homie, brick by brick/ if you gotta start over all it takes is the will/ choose ya bricks wisely and protect what you build/

sometimes ya building sturdy and its solid as steel, sometimes you destroy and rebuild × 3
