It Was Beautiful

Yeah
 I just need a minute of your time (just a minute of your time)
 Can I please have a minute of your time?
 Yeah
 Get a minute of your time

 Ever since we was 12 I've been wanting you to hold
 You never was around when I wanted you to roll
 Now I see you once, if I'm lucky couple months
 I be with this music and you always coupled up
 Duffled up or backpacked, the show must continue
 I got a couple beats right now I want to send you
 I got a empty heart right now I want to lend you
 But love don't buy shit so right now I love this pencil
 When the mic I record with, nights I get bored with
 So I be tryna write some shit that I can hit the stores with
 Spit it a cappella and have a nigga on some floor shit
 So you can see me at a Laker game on some floor shit
 I wanna explore her, that's some fore' shit
 These hos don't pay attention cause they probably can't afford it
 Haha
 But I told you she was beautiful
 I told you she was beautiful
 And now it's like 2 and I'm tryna make good
 Them promises I made that I was gon get us out the hood
 Never come back, probably get us out for good
 If this was '94, I'd probably get us out through Suge
 Like yeah nigga I'm on, posing like I made it
 I had a couple cuts but them niggas wouldn't fade it
 So I kept writing, booked time and I laid it
 Now I couldn't tell you all the girls that I done laid with
 Man I couldn't tell you all the places that I played in
 Shit I couldn't tell you all the places that I stayed in
 Clothes that you rap about, shit that I stayed in
 You niggas get love but that's the shit that I was made in

 Well, they told me I was beautiful
 I told you I was beautiful
 I told you I was beautiful
 I told you I was beautiful

 Like Stevie on the keys, Isley on the string
 Every time I see it, it reminds me of them things
 Every time I see you it reminds me of my dreams
 Everything is fine, hope I find you when I leave
 Just because I style they think I ain't broken
 And just because I smile, they be thinking I be jokin
 I pass on the blunt and niggas think that I be smokin
 Bust my Raids hat and people think that I'm from Oakland
 But I'm just athletic, just as ready
 And when I say you fine I'm talking just aesthetics
 Cause it's kinda a façade, you steady goin out
 Chest be poking out, when you know you got a job
 And you barely got benefits, talking what you finna get
 It's all cool now but I want you to remember this
 Matter fact don't remember shit
 Especially old girl that you caught me out at dinner with
 Send a ? pray more, thank you for this day Lord
 I only answer to you so I shouldn't have to say more.
 Uh

 And I told you life was beautiful
 I told you it was beautiful
 I told you it was beautiful
 I told you it was beautiful
 I told you it was beautiful
 I told you it was beautiful

 As women on the stretch pole
 Why we so disrespectful?
 Why Jesus resurrect for?
 Some things you never get told
 How beautiful this sound be
 I'm just happy that it found me
 Karma comes around, niggas
 I'm just glad I'm already down with her
 This from my side of town with it 
 That rest in peace James Brown with it
 But I don't wanna get to loud with it
 I just hope I make you proud with it

 And I told you we was beautiful (J. Skillz)
 I told you we was beautiful (Yeah)
 I told you we was beautiful
 I told you we was beautiful (Look at us now)
 I told you we was beautiful
 I told you we was beautiful (Haha, second time around)
 I told you we was beautiful (Do work)
 I told you we was beautiful
