May 1st - Intellectual

[Intro: Sample & (Jet 2)]

Picture all the possibilities

(Now, I know this is kinda random, but)

Sounds like a love song (Well, it's not)

Sounds like a love song (Technically, it's not a love song, but)

(But I do love her, though)

(I mean, like, you know as in like, brotherly love

You know? Well, to make a long story short

I promised this girl that I was gonna make a song for her

You know? And she know who she is

She probably hidin' behind the curtains somewhere

Uh, huh, but uh)

[Verse 1]

Missus, happy birthday, what day? First, May

I promised I was gonna make a song for you

So, I gotta make this song cry, 'cause it's a song for you

And I swear you bring tears to my eyes

If I cry, then don't be surprised

Rest in peace to homie, Ramone

He was like a brother from another

Missus Rasheeda Jones, you would make a perfect mother

To whomever the son or daughter of the father will ever be

And I pray for you that that man will never leave

'Cause I know that life gets tougher every single day you search for

The things that make you happy that always just seem to hurt more

But you gotta keep that tropical smile on

That screen name made me smile every single time that I signed on

I remember times that I would write aways for you, like

"If he ever did you wrong, then he'd better spoil you right"

It seemed that you just couldn't get through to the boy you liked

And I'm in the same predicament, what a coincidence

But it's all good, in this life you can't escape sentiments

Don't worry about the negatives, it's all irrelevant

Their opinions are nothin' if none of 'em make you better than

The person that you were before any one of 'em said it

And even through rough times, never let the pain settle in

'Cause even through those rough times, you're still better than

And it all seems perfect, I hope that when you're hurtin'

You can listen to my verses and smile

I didn't wanna have to make the song cry

So I pray the beat takes the emotion and you don't cry

But in the event that you have to let it go

Just remember, "you are pretty though! No you're beautiful"

I remember that was like the quote of the century

No matter where you go, I just pray you remember me

'Cause it feels as though I'm all alone in this world

And there's no one that would care to see

And if you feel the same way, you got care from me

I pray whoever takes care of you, carefully

'Cause I know God will

No matter what happens, know everything is God's will

And your happiness will prevail, because God will

And God wins like Mr. Thurton's name

Your picture with him during the homecoming was the perfect frame

And if I ain't the first to say that, girl you were made perfect in every way

So let this day be the best for you

I pray that you ain't got a worry on ya

Just a bunch of smiles and a bunch of money pinned to ya little shirt thang

Rasheeda Jones, happy birthday!

[Outro]

I love you

I always promised I was gonna do that

Don't forget, we gotta do the collabo, you know?

We gotta work on the album, you know what I mean?

They not ready for it, though

They ain't they ain't ready for it

But it's all good, you know I hope

I tried my best, I hope that made you happy a little bit

I hope somehow in this crazy world

That you could listen to this and find that happiness

That bright light within you, you know?

'Cause sometimes that's all we need as individual people

Don't let me get all teary eyed, I gotta do the album

I gotta do the album

They not ready for it, though

It's gonna take them a couple years to adjust, you know

This a beautiful instrumental

You know, I had to, I had

To get a beautiful instrumental for a beautiful person

You know, a, a beautiful song for a, beautiful

Ah, you know I just pray that at least

At least if I go, you know

I, I did somethin' that changed lives for the better

You what I mean? You know?

I was always like, I was wonderin' like

"Is this really for me?" You know?

But then, I'm reminded when I could make people like you smile

And just enjoy life

Somethin' that I wish I could do, but

It'll all come in turn

But other than that

Happy birthday, Rasheeda, you know?

Like, I love you

This my birthday present to you
