lyrics

Ceremony

verse 1

The neighborhood ball player
Quiet was shy around them girls
Who knew that he would fly around the world
I never crawled for nobody
see I did a lot of baby steppin
I came a long way from 87th
I'm with some pretty girls chilling out
in Sweden, out in Paris
Thinking, do I deserve all of these blessings I inherit?
I’ve seen a lot in my life
the kind of things make you rewind twice
Now its lime light but wait you see something is missing
Let me tell you bout' this juxtaposition
I’m on tour chillin, chiefing with ?
My rent due back home, I had to
call my mama i guarantee this changes your perception
See yall ain’t really got a clue fans coming to my shows with more money than i do
And it really gets no realer than that
Gotta know i’m fearless now if i’m giving you that

Chorus
I need a ceremony
I need a ceremony
cause I done came a long way
With even further to go but before i finish a show
I think i need a ceremony, i need a ceremony
Cause I done came a long way
But even further to go but before i finish a show

verse 2

Somebody tell me what’s confidence without belief?
What’s a city full of gangs left without a chief?
thanking God I made it this far I have overcome the undertaking
Came through the storm but another one's awaiting
Under dog love from fans hoping they ain’ t traitors
Turn around a year from now with comments full of hatred
I’ve seen it happen before so if i got it face it
I’m ready I’m still looking for miss right
Or at least miss night for the right
Nobody knows what this life is like
Family functions friends weddings are sacrificed
All just to write and recite some words on the mic
But this is all i got and this is all I have
I let my work and my craft speak on my behalf
A Southside Chi-City boy, its my testimony
I think it’s time we had a ceremony,

I need a ceremony
Hey hey cause i done came a long way
But even further to go but before i finish a show
I think i need a ceremony
