Lyrical Analysis of...
From the Same Tree
- Intro (0:11)
- Dear God, thank you so much for giving me a son
- A gift I've been blessed with, and it's all just begun\
- To impact me in ways I could not have possibly foreseen
- And in fact, led to growth,
- Spiritual in being\
- Open mind, open heart and without them together
- To weather this hardship would feel like forever\
- But wisdom has led me to this moment now,
- And somehow I must bow to a power that towers
- Over me\
- Verse (0:36)
- I grew up without you,
- Your message was obscured,
- Yet retaliation to actions I did I had
- Feared\
- Now I see why the message of love still holds true
- For blessings placed upon this mortal vessel,
- Revered\
- Love just surrounds us, but life has us blinded
- This rat race distraction, work day in and day out
- Just to be reminded\
- You're broke in a sense but for reasons unsaid,
- You are happy inside, just focused instead\
- On what drives you each day besides all the cash
- Fashion rationality, reality drives home an illusion\
- Of grander life if you could just forfeit
- The part that makes you human, so compassionate\
- The miracle of life bestowed on us by force
- Forcing us to evaluate our purpose on this Earth\
- Don't allow politics and the news to shape your views,
- Get up off the couch, make the decision to choose
- Freedom of mind\
- Hook 1 (1:00)
- I can't wait to give you the world,
- Deserving of everything
- That can be earned\
- If you want to be great, I know you can be,
- Because you and I, we 're both apples
- That fell from the same tree\
- Verse 2 (1:12)
- Circumstances stacked against me but I won
- In just a few months, I will have my firstborn son\
- A father to be, I do proudly proclaim!
- No shame is within me, on top of my game\
- Each day is a blessing and though we have stress,
- Don't define it as such, get it off of your chest\
- There's a power in using the words that define
- What you want from your life, it gets better with time\
- If life was all easy, there would be no reason
- To push for your growth, nothing would be pleasing\
- Stop teasing your mind with all the fame, they never share
- What it feels like to also feel that crippling shame\
- Don't sellout for cash or physical things, or chains
- Or diamonds, or platinum bling\
- Dear God, when my son is here please let him see
- How I work and I bleed for the love of this family\
- Putting food on the table so that we can eat
- Shutting out all the negative energy beneath\
- Hook 2 (1:48)
- I can't wait to give you the world,
- Deserving of everything
- That can be earned\
- If you want to be great, I know you can be,
- Because you and I, we 're both apples
- That fell from the same tree\
- Outro (2:12)
- This pen and this paper help me to describe
- These thoughts otherwise I could not scribe\
- All these complex conjectures of life I envision
- Conditioned to stand up and continue the mission\
- So stand up when times got you falling on your ass,
- Pass the obstacle preventing you from greatness at last.\
