Mit meinem Mann Sèkou aka The Ambassador
Für 1999
Und wir haben viel Liebe zu geben
Check it out now
Yo 'Kou, drop the verse
There comes a time in your life you've got to go against the odds
It's all good, struggle through and knock on wood
I might not have always done things the way that I should
Nor the way that I could now, grow to know how
Keep it on the low focus y'all brothers pow wow
Watch the hour I'm on some next moves for tomorrow
Still my sunshine that's how we blossom the flowers
Lost ones on the bottom hardly ever seen light
That's why the spark trouble, always starting the fight
Walking up on my boys making noise and shit
Talking 'bout FK how they hate my clique
I never throw fits stay calm never alarmed
That's how we last long, keep my life line in my palm
Yo, Don, turn the mic up, focus the view
Ambassador write songs the whole world relate to
To all my peoples left behind once I made up my mind
All those who helped me up when I was stuck in a bind
Anyone I might have stepped on chasing these G's
One love one heart, all apologies
To all my peoples left behind once I made up my mind
All those who helped me out when I was stuck in a bind
Anyone I might have stepped on chasing these G's
One love one heart all apologies
Yo, I grew up fatherless like most black males
It's like the whole lot of us is programmed to fail
But in the end new beginnings get it started again
God's speed lead your thoughts back to deep within
Keep my feet on the ground, watch who lingers around
A lot of hard luck niggas try to get at my crown
But I forgive them send 'em love I know what it's like
Doing shows for no dough and if the ends ain't right
So it's a must we bond and we can all cop this
You do for me I do for you we both top of the list
Wath your stock once you got it, set up shop
Keep your eyes on the clock plus stick to your plot
You may never be a rich star but I know who you are
And that will take you much further than your jewels and your car
We all got a lot to give so take heed to the song
'Cause I'm going to live what I say to the day that I'm gone
To all my peoples left behind once I made up my mind
All those who helped me out when I was stuck in a bind
Anyone I might have stepped on chasing these G's
One love one heart all apologies
To all my peoples left behind once I made up my mind
All those who helped me out when I was stuck in a bind
Anyone I might have stepped on chasing these G's
One love one heart all apologies
Yeah yeah
We've all come a long way since it started
Maximilian, DJ Friction, The Don (stay strong)
I took my time wrote it down line for line
Take a look and you'll find truth lies in a wise rhyme
I watch the sky, follow signs of the magi
Heard the most high that be the words of my third eye
Spoke with fire, lift this bloke out of the mire
Make it known I only quote those I admire
My sole objective to spawn growth and inspire
Move across the globe like a soldier for hire
So long it's for a just cause we can spark to the cypher
Talk politics to the day we spot Elijah
Could have sworn it I saw him rise on the hills of Israel
So reveal your true size and know if it's real
We no longer have to wonder where we got our next meal
The whole squad got stronger now we on even keel
Enough said we could break bread and all get fed
So take it as a compliment and let it go to your head
To all my peoples left behind once I made up my mind
All those who helped me out when I was stuck in a bind
Anyone I might have stepped on chasing these G's
One love one heart all apologies
To all my brethrens - ride on
And all my sisters - keep shining on
We doing this till the day that we gone
We got love to give for the life we live
All my brethrens - ride on
And all my sisters - keep shining on
We doing this till the day that we gone
We got love to give for the life we live
Sèkou Ambassador
We got love to give for the life we live
FK Squad
We got love to give for the life we live
Esperanto-Shit für '99
Liebe geht raus an alle Hip-Hop-Crews
In Deutschland und weltweit
We got love to give for the life we live
That's right
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Check it out now
Pay attention, listen up
Yo 'Kou, drop the verse
Hey 'Kou, start rapping
There comes a time in your life you've got to go against the odds
Life gets tough, but you have to strive on
Take pause, try to get from small to large
Take a break and aim high
It's all good, struggle through and knock on wood
It may be hard, but luck is on our side
I might not have always done things the way that I should
Admitting to mistakes and taking responsibility
Nor the way that I could now, grow to know how
Learning from past mistakes and growing
Keep it on the low focus y'all brothers pow wow
Keeping things low-key and having a positive discussion
Watch the hour I'm on some next moves for tomorrow
Looking ahead and planning for the future
Still my sunshine that's how we blossom the flowers
Staying optimistic and showing love helps everything grow
Lost ones on the bottom hardly ever seen light
People who have faced hardship may struggle to succeed
That's why the spark trouble, always starting the fight
People who feel trapped may resort to violence or aggression
Walking up on my boys making noise and shit
People who dislike FK Squad may start trouble
Talking 'bout FK how they hate my clique
People who dislike FK Squad may speak negatively about them
I never throw fits stay calm never alarmed
Remaining level-headed and calm in difficult situations
That's how we last long, keep my life line in my palm
Being calm helps us endure hard times
Yo, Don, turn the mic up, focus the view
Asking the audio engineer to adjust the microphone
Ambassador write songs the whole world relate to
The Ambassador writes music that resonates with everyone
To all my peoples left behind once I made up my mind
Shoutout to those who didn't make it with them
All those who helped me up when I was stuck in a bind
Thanking people who supported them when they needed help
Anyone I might have stepped on chasing these G's
Apologizing to anyone they've wronged while pursuing success
One love one heart, all apologies
Asking for forgiveness and showing love to others
All those who helped me out when I was stuck in a bind
Thanking people who supported them when they needed help
One love one heart all apologies
Asking for forgiveness and showing love to others
Yo, I grew up fatherless like most black males
Growing up without a dad is common in the black community
It's like the whole lot of us is programmed to fail
Many black men face systemic barriers that hinder their success
But in the end new beginnings get it started again
Despite challenges, we can rebuild and start anew
God's speed lead your thoughts back to deep within
Wishing someone well and hoping they find inner peace
Keep my feet on the ground, watch who lingers around
Staying grounded and being mindful of who's around them
A lot of hard luck niggas try to get at my crown
People who have faced challenges may try to bring them down
But I forgive them send 'em love I know what it's like
Forgiving those who have wronged them and showing empathy
Doing shows for no dough and if the ends ain't right
Performing for little or no pay and struggling financially
So it's a must we bond and we can all cop this
They must stick together and work towards success
You do for me I do for you we both top of the list
Mutually supporting each other and valuing both equally
Wath your stock once you got it, set up shop
Being mindful of their success and investing in themselves
Keep your eyes on the clock plus stick to your plot
Staying focused and working towards their goals
You may never be a rich star but I know who you are
Money and fame don't define their worth, they see their true selves
And that will take you much further than your jewels and your car
Their true identity and values will take them farther than material possessions
We all got a lot to give so take heed to the song
Everyone has something to offer and should listen to the message
'Cause I'm going to live what I say to the day that I'm gone
They will live their values until the day they pass away
We've all come a long way since it started
Acknowledging progress since they began
Maximilian, DJ Friction, The Don (stay strong)
Shoutouts to members of Freundeskreis
I took my time wrote it down line for line
Carefully crafting their lyrics
Take a look and you'll find truth lies in a wise rhyme
Their lyrics are meaningful and wise
I watch the sky, follow signs of the magi
Looking for guidance and paying attention to signs
Heard the most high that be the words of my third eye
Listening to their inner voice and intuition
Spoke with fire, lift this bloke out of the mire
Their words have passion and can lift people out of difficult times
Make it known I only quote those I admire
They only reference people they respect and admire
My sole objective to spawn growth and inspire
Their goal is to inspire others and promote growth
Move across the globe like a soldier for hire
Traveling the world and spreading their message like a soldier
So long it's for a just cause we can spark to the cypher
Fighting for a just cause and inspiring others to join the movement
Talk politics to the day we spot Elijah
Discussing politics and societal issues until the end of their days
Could have sworn it I saw him rise on the hills of Israel
A reference to the prophet Elijah
So reveal your true size and know if it's real
Being honest and authentic about who you are
We no longer have to wonder where we got our next meal
Grateful for their success and no longer struggling financially
The whole squad got stronger now we on even keel
Freundeskreis has become stronger and is now on equal footing
Enough said we could break bread and all get fed
They can come together and share a meal with their success
So take it as a compliment and let it go to your head
Elevate yourself and take pride in your accomplishments
To all my brethrens - ride on
Encouraging their friends to keep going
And all my sisters - keep shining on
Encouraging their female friends to keep shining
We doing this till the day that we gone
Continuing on until their days are over
We got love to give for the life we live
They have love to share and enjoy life
All my brethrens - ride on
Encouraging their friends to keep going
