You and You

Chorus:

This is for my family, this is for my crew.

And this is for us too, direct, and t-vu!

And for everyone that held us down, through and through,

Like... you and you, cuz

You and you are the best things, worth remembering.

Nothing lasts forever so lets keep pretending,

And just live in the present, cuz in the end,

All i need, to be, is in your presence.

(derek "direct" kan)

If your lova-is giving you drama, it don't matter

If you struggulin within your conscience, it don't matter

If your credit is getting obnoxious, it don't matter,

Cuz the only thing that matters is that we have been gathered

So act-like bananas, don't ask-why just abandon

All those phantoms that, drag your spirits down like titanic

I don't care if you're a manic depressive, we goin manage,

To relax, enjoy the weather, and just bask in our companions

And that's the plan, period, i'm serious

We goin have fun, as if, today-was-the last one to live

Cuz the sad truth is, our paths don't always pass

Our lives are fast moving, yo these times are all we have

So grab a glass or bottle for all, you alcoholics,

And play some jams for all you dancers and nostalgics

Cuz these are the days that matter the most, cuz yo

Nothing last forever but damnit we'll come close

And here's a toast

Chorus

(theresa "t-" vu)

I dig deep

Searching for the phrases to speak

My amazement that ya'll have stayed with me

Through sleet, rain and the snow

Its weak that my range of emotions can't show

What you faithful should know

So you thats what this song's for

And every encore

Subsequently

Is yours and yours

So dont' forget me, i won't forget you

And don't you let me, get sentimental

Nope! no more thinking, lets get to drinking

Arms around shoulders shot glasses clinking

It feels like a blink since early adolescence

When i was a wide eyed uc berkeley freshman

But now we are destined, for different things

Time flies whether or not you try to clip its wings

I hope you listening, cuz i don't say it a lot

But aside from hip hop, you're all that i got

Yo you're all that i got

Chorus

(direct)

Yo it's times like these that we need to clean

Our minds from the evil and needless things

That occupy our being from feeling free

So we can smile and release what is deep beneath

Cuz these moments we have are too precious to be

Just a moment... passing evanescently

So i wrote this, beat to dedicate these

Words i hope are worthy to show ya what your friendship means

(t)

And if it seems i take you for granted

Understand

This song is more than the liner notes expanded

Or a hallmark card written in iambic

Cuz damnit, right or wrong you'll never be abandoned

Left stranded never that whatever wrath

Trust i'll follow you down whatever path

Even if you trespassed into the depths of hell

Cuz you're a part of me i can't dissect myself

(direct)

And to all my peeps that helped me carry the weight,

I sincerely thank you, for this amazing grace

Cuz through the trials and the trauma we barely made it

So now's let's celebrate with no more drama like mary j did.

(t)

This is dedicated, to friends and fam

Bartenders and, anyone who ever gave a damn,

Stayed, or backed me up

Or even just a hand shake, dap or love

Am i sap or what. (yup)
