September 18th Lyrics by ReachingNOVA

2018

[Verse 1: ReachingNOVA]
Dear mama God bless you
Never in my presence is a ni**a to check you
I’m here to ensure you don’t stress when that rent due
I’m working super hard, over drive, like the next dude
I’m doing what it takes, piece the sh** together
When no one else believed in me Sunny you said get 'em
Ni**as came and went, you been front and center
Two jobs, going to school, plus dinner
Ma, How the f**k you do it and balance it all out?
I still talked back, slammed doors through the house
Told me words are weapons I really should watch my mouth
Still I ran game slayed girls on your couch
First heartbreak my tears were falling down
Said when they ain’t found, you always gon’ be around
Lord knows you done proved that true! Times Two!
Said “You’ll regret cutting school” Ah Ha True
And everything you told me don’t do, you know I did
Cus you was looking after my safety and that I dig
Still I had to learn on my own, I had to live
That's why my hair’s white and I’m no where near thirty six
Heart full of love and you’re the reason it is
Life showed me many will take more than they give
You put me onto poetry, look at me, here I is
You made sure I read, you’re the reason I’m doing this
Hip Hop

[Verse 2: ReachingNOVA]
Pop, you’re the reason I’m here
All that time missed It probly add up to years
Milk already spilled ain’t no reason to shed a tear
I have a little brother and hardly know who he is
Life took us two different ways, too many ways
We both feel pain, It’s different how we were raised
Streets took me in once an adolescent at age
Grandma passed and I don’t recall her face
Diabetes got her before I could even say
Diana I love you wish you could hear me say it
How’d you do it Dad?
Adopted by the dark to give life to this little light named Mark
Back in High School when you told me I’d never rap
Matter fact, You told me to throw out trash for a living
It was about income I get it
Still a young man un-crushed goes the spirit
Time goes on and all goes forgiven
Clear-water Nights, 'Chata White’s how we're sipping
Every other weekend I’d see you, Them days I miss it
Those were great times I got to shout out Patricia
Life, we never know where it’s going
We just wish we could take moments and keep em frozen
It’s all good, I love you, I just want you to know it
September eighteenth, That’s the day I was chosen
Aye
