about
This song is about a very powerful moment
๐๏ธ shared with my late mentor James Mtume. It is centered around the theme 202.
lyrics
๐ got the call you was laid up
Say you had a stroQe it was dangerous
You know ๐โm emotional
You didnโt want me to know
You dealt with a lot of pain but
๐ maQe plans to come visit
But ๐ told you ๐โm gone miss it
Meanwhile me and your wife know
cos ๐โm calling counting down to the very minute
We got a bond thatโs unheard of
cos liQ you songs are my first love
Stories bout Miles and Stephanie
We talQ'd for hours itโs legendary
You had no ๐dea what it meant me
๐ remember in Guitar center we
Played my song for the entire store
(Rap musiQ?)
Thatโs our inside joQe
This older guy tryna to diss my flow
he ainโt respect rap liQ many men ๐ know
But you were different in tuned with the rhythm
you came from jazz you genuinely listened
๐ spent months just seeQing your approval
Would critique how ๐ tweaQโd all my new tunes
๐ called you Pops they called you Tumes
Now letโs rewind to this to your new room
๐ call you up to cheQ on you
You wonโt let up thereโs stress on you
So we laugh and we talQ past musiQ
And every now and then (Rap musiQ)
Again thatโs our inside joQe us clowning that dude dissing Hip Hop folQ
Day of my flight still and you did not know
That ๐ booQโd a trip as you hit my phone
Gave you my word ๐ would piQ up
Whatever the time ๐ wouldnโt fail
๐ know that your siQ Pops ๐โm witcha
These times ๐ just send you to voicemail
Airplane mode
But least ๐โm on the airplane tho
When ๐ land ๐ see all these missed calls
thinQing to myself Pops prolly pissed off
Finally ๐๏ธ call ๐โm in the lobby
๐๏ธ gave you a good excuse just apologizing
TalQing about old times as ๐ sign in 202 was your room ๐โm tryna find it~
Still on the phone ๐
asQ you if
you recalled the store
with that dude and
What we used to say thinQing baQ to him
Together we both said rap musiQ
This Time now ๐โm side your room and the surprise straight brought tears to your eyes we cried ๐ stayed a while
Your guest came ๐ left to my hotel room
CheQing in itโs 202
