Lyrics Foundationz - MC Zuko

I grew up in a household with everything that I needed
Parents kept me fed, both of 'em loved me, I was sleepin
All up under a roof, with my family in the evenin
Paid rent to Mom and Dad with good grades I was receivin
Swag, I ain't tryna brag
I just had the foundation
That's why it's important once I get kids that I found placement
In society this environment is toxic for the youth
Both positive and negative in proximity too
Claimin' I got a silver spoon, I call that some disrespect
Parents did what they had to do, not one second did they neglect
Me and my little brother, along with my little sister
One day she goin' be a mother, the two of us will be misters
Cuz we witnessed that shit, privileged to have our parents
Had a rocky marriage but they committed just to bear it
Family is valuable and I do cherish mine
Hoping that we stay like this against the hands of times, yeah

I'm tired of faking all my humbleness
Just so you could relate with my situation
Man you on some other shit
I'm proud how I was raised, protect my parents reputation
You a goody two shoes
You a goody two shoes
You a goody two shoes
I said you a goody two shoes

So I can't be Hip Hop cuz we ain't got the same struggle
Motherfucker like you can be Hip Hop cuz you had to hustle
Family worked all day to maintain a life of trouble
Don't want to compare lives, we different, we ain't above you
Why do you gotta tear down the ones who got a support system?
Last time I checked all the higher-ups see us in a poor system
If you come from a broken fam I have faith that you'll set the bar
So your kids go hella far, because you provided them from the start
What my parents have both seen probably would've made my eyes turn
The work people get lazy to my parents see it as slight work
Foundation they gave me, I gotta take advantage
Damage goin' be long term if I don't got vision and plan it
I ain't like those kids that got everything and they want more
Everything and they flaunt more
Carry bling and they taunt more
Cuz I want everything for my future family with a purpose
I ain't boutta get them none unless they earned it, yeah

I'm tired of faking all my humbleness
Just so you could relate with my situation
Man you on some other shit
I'm proud how I was raised, protect my parents reputation
You a goody two shoes
You a goody two shoes
You a goody two shoes
I said you a goody two shoes

My heart bleeds for all the kids that just lost they parents
My heart bleeds for all the parents that just lost they kids
If you one of these people hope you find the patience inside you
So you ain't gotta end up perpetuating a cycle
Of a family malnourished
Of love so you can't flourish
Circumstances out yo control
How you stand it you can control
Side note is that the reason why my people so comfortable
Afraid to leave from they families to a world where there's much to do?
We don't talk a lot about the shit that's going on we keep it in
Focus on education, old generation speakin' it
Ignore all the capitalistic greed because our fam is first
I see that characteristic as both a gift and curse
Cuz we ain't really violent
At the same we silent
Issues we quiet
Keep the personal in private
Listen up here everybody I'm poetically licensed
To headline these issues so we all can be enlightened

Maybe it really wasn't humbleness
Maybe it's about connecting situations
Stayin' quiet man, I be on some other shit
If I claim it's all about my parents reputations
You one of the lucky few
You one of the lucky few
You one of the lucky few
God damn boy you one of the lucky few
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky ay
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, woo
