“I’ll Be There”
by Derek Felix AKA D Flex
Been through a lot
So I know how ya feel
Never feels good when you’re shot
Wish it was fake instead of real
I know it’s playing with your brain
Tricking ya in every way
Making you wonder if you’re sane
Been there before know what to say
You’re gonna be alright
You just gotta trust
Ya got lots of fight
Always knew you must
Don’t give up on yourself
You gotta believe
It’s the only way to help
Now it’s time to achieve
I’ll be there
Whenever you call
I’ll be there
If you ever fall
Get up stand up
That’s what Marley said
Stand up for your right
Never give in to the dead
Have I ever let you down before
Got too much heart for this
Keep ya head up stay strong to the core
Toss this bs in the abyss
We all go through shit everyday
That pushes us to the limit
Promise I’ll be around I’ll stay
Don’t panic or throw a fit
This too shall pass
And you’ll finally be back
Just kick its ass
Now go on the attack
You got lots of fight
Like Holyfield and Iron Mike
Show those hands of dynamite
Land jabs and hooks making it take a permanent hike
I’ll be there
No matter what
I’ll be there
Give it your best shot
You got to fight for your right
That’s what the Beastie Boys said
So fight for your right to parrrrrttty
I promise you’ll feel better instead
Now it’s time to see the light
Imagine yourself at a park
A peaceful place everything so bright
Making ya smile and get out of the dark
Take a look around at all the colorful leaves
Blowing gently and making a nestling sound
It’s enough to bring ya to your knees
There is a God who’s here today making ya found
It’s not that bad by now you see
I’ll never steer you in the wrong direction
Damn right, you’ll always be a G
Put on the armor and make your selection
You’re a Warrior who makes it all the way back to Coney
Fighting off other gangs while on the subway
Taking no prisoners as you hustle hard you my homey
Proving yourself to your peers on a forever day
Yeah, Warriors come out to play
Taking on all comers representing BK
No wonder they dazed, confused don’t know what to say
Better watch their backs before you say hey
I’ll be there
You’ll always be my nigga
I’ll be there
You the one who pulls the trigger
Keep ya head up
That’s what Pac said
Don’t ever let up
Your heart is blood red
Spread love cause you got wings
That fly way up in the air
Springing eternal fire like kings
Be brave and have no fear
You know I got your back no matter what
I love you like a brother
So, don’t get caught
You’re the one who blesses others
If you’re down, take a look around and you’ll see me
Got lots of heart and desire
I’m the one who never blinks appearing instantly
Let’s spark it up ignite the fire that goes higher
We might be separated from East coast to West
But I’m standing right next to you
Feeling blessed cause you da best
Friend that ‘ll always ring true
I’ll be there
Before you can say hi
I’ll be there
Cause I’m way up in the sky
I’ll be there to protect you
That’s what the King Of Pop said
Just call my name and I’ll be there
You can count on me till I’m dead
