"What You Here For?"
  by Dante'


What you want?

what you need?

what you here for?

what you believe?

where's ya heart?

where's it stand?

do you want to give away?

or only take with your hands?

I've been asked the question before: if I got millions, what would I do with it?

where do I see myself 10 years down? still rappin' or just cool with it?

I always replied with the same questions back- cuz theirs seemed more interesting like 9 lives to a cat

I wasn't ever surprised with their answers, I already had it figured, what their intents were in the frame of their pictures

They'd tell me "I'd get cars, houses & jewels- sometimes family weren't weighted heavy enough for some of these fools"

But i just recently came across from a different end of the table
from their side as a fact- to see if their theories were capable

but again, I wasn't disappointed, i prepared for lower expectations
and instead- came across something amazing

People say they want all this money & when I ask what they use it for, it's everything that can be destroyed

I see it this way- People want money so they can wait to die comfortably

they buy their things & that's it- their story's beginning middle & end

But with me- This is what I see

I want to take care of my family, tuition & myself- then spend my time flying everywhere else

I want to travel to africa so I can build houses- for villages who only have huts

I want to bring with me fresh water since theirs isn't clean enough- the color of mud from where animals drink that they have to use to bathe since they don't even have sinks

bring children's books so I can give them stories that make them smile & make the world less lonely

also to bring with me doctors- who can help the sick get better & make them stronger

and I want to learn a little more about the Lord so when I travel- I can teach them how his power endures

and how if they cling to him, it won't seem as bad- it won't be easy- but how he's the best challenge they'll ever have

and to go through the globe with that attitude- make the world better than I entered & give it truth

let people know they're not alone & give em' Love & support

That's me, so let me ask you- What you here for?
