Middle Georgia backwoods,
March 5, way before white man and black would,
make good, call truce,
where the turf war wasn't tied to da red and da blue,
affiliated since birth, so its auto ride or die on da noose,
but god's work gonna stay working, and look what produced,
baby girl enters into world brown skin fresh as fruit,
Mattie Mae, #2 of 8 , from a humble beginnings
first one to throw caps offs from family in college buildings,
and that was just da beginning, got married time for some chillins,
first born to da first love, my ain't times moving different,
changes as time persisted, the sands of time caused a sandstorm, wrapped up in a whirlwind
no forecast could've planned for,



he done caught up in da streets, she done got fed up bout to fed up bout to leave, I'm taking our son in leaving these papers, I'm leaving da house in seeing you later, later as time would pass, she's moving on, tryna clear da path, to da state of sun, leave da rain in past, leave da pain in, she screaming free at last,

but it ain't last, before too long she had met a man, fair skinned with that red hair, hazel eyes shouldn't dare stare, but it's too late devil laid snare, and she stepped in it,
introduce by her next sibling, talk about family ties, meanwhile got her intertwined with lies,
hit da Kingdom Hall tryna seek da truth, said that he was with it so she bit da fruit, jumped da broom, knocked da boot, seed produced, not much later would he chuck da deuce,
dueces
Still stayed strong held it down like dat,
gone hit da corner then gone come right back,
ten toes down hard find like that,

in and out, in and out, nurse 'em up vice- alert he's going down,
ain't no telling where he's going now, ain't no telling when he's coming back, she said bump that imma put fam on back, with no back up, I'll get us back on track, da track record, is immaculate, then just like dat, car crash put her flat on back,
and guess who's back,
he told her come move to Georgia, that he been clean, been making cheese and finally can afford a four door car, and a place to live, so she packed it up this was for da kid,
6 months it was all here, 1 day coming home late turned into bout 6yrs,

I see your work, I see your patience, I see your worth,

If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be me

I see your purpose, I see your work , You laid that down for me and it's gone work

I see your purpose
