I O U - Zane
I o u much
For everything going in the world
Just makes you sit down and reflect on everybody
Everybody
I o u much
That said a kind word or a kind gesture
And I owe so much to so many
Although i took a path not commely chose
And people might say i look thuggish in cloths
Although i still hear my peers sayin zane u aint gonna make it
I can still hear the voice sayin
I know you gonna make it
My teacher ms johnson always had a kind word
Not once said my dream was obsurd
Although i looked as school as chore
Class was so much more
I love to see that lady limp thru the door
Althought she was much much older she coulld still relate
She had a son of her own that got a son my age
And the reason i've been sayin that she was
And has is' cause a year ago ms johson passed
And although i wanna see you to say i owe ya
Im so glad i got a chance just to get know ya
Look at me ms j im on tv
And if i could i would of told god to take me
Take me (i owe you)
I o u much
So much baby so much so much i could never explain
I o u much
I o u
So much baby so much so much
Words dont explain it
Listen and to my mother how could i begin to repay
Nine months hard labor and a place to stay
Through the years you were there
When i have no way show me how to
Make a catchand to my father
Whos a straight hustler make money outta dirt
Boy i gotta love you
I had parents when my friends didnt have nobody
Glad you stayed and stuck together when it got rocky
Listen I could give you the world woulda make a dent
Toward the things u unselflissley lent
You gave your time and your effort
Never mention the dough and listen
I could go on some more left your youth
For all days to raise you
My cost to crime never gave me
A chance to raise the roof
I might be the one spittin these words
In this booth but i had is yours and that's the truth
I o u I o u much so much baby so much
So much i could never explain it
I o u I o u much so much baby so much
So much words explain it
I O U for all the times
All the times you've protected me
All the times i could been harmed and i wasn't
I owe u for all the good people u put in my life
To guide me to support me
I o u for every breath every day
To god can i please write a
I o u 'cause monatary figures just wont do
U can pull a plug and let a straight bullet hit me
Instead i feel protected like u really love me
I could been in new york when the planes hit
Or been chillin with aayliah when the tail flipped
I can be your missing child or stuck in the system
I can be a rap artist with no one to listen
I guess it just wasn't in your design
It looks like you only wanted zane to shine
So how can I pay you back when i owe so much to ya
I pray u take my soul when its time to come to ya
So i bring flowers to ms johson for a class in heaven
And my moma a dimaond necklace with a visible sentence
And my pops who loves a cadiallic with rims and such
And to god can my soul be enough
I o u I o u much so much baby so much
So much i could never explain
I o u much
I o u much so much baby so much
So much i could never explain
I owe u much so much so much
So much i could never explain
I owe you much so much
That words can't explain
I can't forget god
I owe you much
I owe you so much baby
I owe you u u
