Cormega, Jarell Perry - Valuable Lessons lyrics

I speak valuable lessons so
Check this y’all

Love, you question it hate is evident
People who never voted betray
You for dead presidents
Some wear two faces: friend and enemy
And gain nothing 'cause they
Don't deserve anything
I risk my life for niggas
Who didn't write or visit
During my time in prison
I realized my friendship
Isn't what I envisioned
And I'm tired of giving
With no reciprocation
Thankfully times are different
I pray for friends I've lost
Grateful to find religion, in my life
Keeping it real is making right decisions
Loyalty has it's toll
It costs nothing to mind your business
You can add this to the list
Of deepest lines I've written
I guess my higher vision comes
From knowing sky's the limit
And I acquired wisdom from
Triumph and failure
Money can come and go but valuable lessons
Are never bad investments and
They last forever

All these lessons that I've learned
Only mean one thing
I just want to live my life
Never make the same mistake
Promise that I'm going to make it right

Emphatically my blood circulates conscious
My family is blood that circulates gossip
My sister calls my cousin
My cousin calls his mom but
Nobody calls me and I'm the topic
Similar to what my aunt did to my father
Was consumed by drugs while
She consumed vodka i ain't feeling that
Hypocritical, judgmental bullshit
The pot calling the kettle black
So simmer down one thing I never lack
Is food for thought – I just faxed
The main course, crabs want to pull you back
When you make it out because they lack
Potential to rise
It's clear to see the root of
Evil has affected my family tree
Can't bloom resentment and greed
Are so deep my grandmother
Was victim of thieves of her own kin
Though we all sin
I call it how I see it that's some cold shit
I forgive but I won't forget
Siblings acting funny over money I
Don't owe you shit

All these lessons that I've learned
Only mean one thing
I just want to live my life
Never make the same mistake
Promise that I'm going to make it right

We loved hard and fought harder
If we fought as hard for love
We'd be much stronger
You wanna argue 'bout what I didn't do
Yet ignore what I did
When you accuse me of cheating
It was only your guilt
Manifesting it'self as a result
You'd rather hate me than be mad at yourself
Now you free we no longer trapped in lies
You never find happiness until
You happy inside
We've been up, we've been down
We laughed and we cried
But through it all I showed
You I'm a provider
Now you taking me to court
Saying you need support
For your living expenses
Really? How is this?
You get advice from women who senseless
With no life so they want
To get in my business
Ignorance can't match infinite wisdom
It's supreme over weak schemes
And hidden agendas

All these lessons that I've learned
Only mean one thing
I just want to live my life
Never make the same mistake
Promise that I'm going to make it right

It's been a long time but
I can finally sleep at night
I can finally sleep, I, I can finally sleep
I, I can finally sleep at night
