U Were There - Substantial, Marcus D

I’m so happy that you’re there for me

When I need someone to care for me

Through the good and bad

I’m so thankful that you bare with me

Someone like you is a rarity

That everyone should have…

Somebody like you by their side

When everyone else runs and hides

You were there!

And you still are!

You are there!

You’re never too far, never too far!

You were there when I was digging thru the couch looking for change

There, back when all of my outfits were looking lame

It’s clear that without you around, life wouldn’t be the same

Kinda weird like trying to get in the picture without a frame

To hold it together

I know forever sound insane

When we’re separate it’s like trying to operate with half a brain

When I needed peace of mind

You would add a piece to mine

Now my whole view of relationships has been redefined

You were there when I was sleeping on floors but didn’t feel odd

Without a home, would rock shows then use your meal card

There, even when I got my first real job

Here when I gave them my notice so I could focus…

On this rap s**t, finally make a career out of a habit

But you always knew that your man was flier than bat s**t

Way hotter than that s**t

But you kept me grounded

You were there before the pioneers and artists I get down with

Before I was surrounded by these leaches and these groupies

When I would go on tour and leave you the keys that’s to my hooptie

You never seemed too boushie or too ghetto

But I brought the hood out you with a little Amaretto

Which reminds me…

You were there every time I said I’d never drink again

There when I’m driving, while I’m vibing, I would need a pen

You wold write my lines for me in the book of rhymes

Sure the verse would be too gritty

But the words would look too pretty

Only you!

It’s like you were always there when I needed you to see me through

Ride or die by my side like you’re shotgun in my vehicle

Without a doubt I’ll be with you forever and a day or three

Crazy as I am, you might be crazier to stay with me

Everything you seem to do be crucial to our unit

So the least that I could do is hold you down when you’re going through it

That’s you for me, and me for you, don’t mean to sound so corny

But to pretend like theirs anything realer than us is phony and you know me

shorty

Oh yeah, oh…

You know that

We go back

Like throwbacks

We hold that

My heart is

So open

So open

I’m hopin'

We rollin'

Til times end

Girl…

Girl you know that my throne’s your throne

Girl you know my house is your home

And everything that I own you own

Til the very end!
