[Intro]

Welcome to The Hunger Inside Never Gets Satisfied

[Verse 1]

Phone calls from afar, hangouts and all

Daddy do these, I done did a 50-50 job

Physically I've been detached, divorce took its toll

Of course, I wouldn't fold

Phone calls from afar, hangouts and all

Daddy do these, I done did a 50-50 job

Physically I've been detached, divorce took its toll

Of course, I wouldn't fold, and none of it was your fault

Before I get to things that glow, show the growth, dawg

Begin by atoning my sins, young kings I caught

You cuz 'cause you royalty, hope you see why I did it this way

Live with the dismay, my issues on display, hey

Sort of escape the way I was livin' them days

Seekin' sunrise and the shade, hopin' one day to be paid

In this career you get played

But it was escape from the harsh realities

Utter bed I made, where I lay, my options weighed

"Bye-bye, I wave" type of decision could've been great

But enslaved to this rhythm, I couldn't stay

Disappear, re-appear, couple jewels in your ear

Take it to cut, you here back at it where

I belong, distant, but near

My imprint persistent, it's instinct I care

I was so selfish to barely help with

So much my momma dealt with, karma left me so helpless

Had to touch the bottom surface to resurface like a diver

I was there for dirty diapers and googoo gagas

Somewhere I lost survival tactics, steps backwards

Can't raise bastards, present in Jamaal's classes

My mom mastered, that single mother load carried

Your momma did the same, this shame I cannot bury

Not to worry, there's a village raisin' princes

Jada, she's a princess, unified within this, Jamaal

Love your mommy, you know they'll love your pops

The princess now your sister, plantin' seeds and breedin' crops

[Chorus]

We are strong, ready, able

Strong, ready, able

Strong, ready, able

Strong, ready, able

[Verse 2]

Fool, I'ma feed you food for thought, jewels

I'ma feed you jewels the way I carry them like crowns, pops

He's a teacher and a student, father and a friend

Whatever roleplay, let's share it like gems, emojis and DMs

[?] hugs and kisses, shake the atlas

Xoxo, live, love, laughter

[Outro]

Strong, ready, able
