| My women, to all my black women
 | 
| T-A-M-I, huh
 | 
| Dear T.A.M.I., my heart bleeds for you
 | 
| Words on a page, my calm and my rage
 | 
| Beauty that’s undescribed, we coincide in one vibe
 | 
| Given the rhythm that makes me come alive
 | 
| And I, been thinkin about this for awhile
 | 
| When I mention my love for you, feelin like a child inside
 | 
| Fortified by the image of your face
 | 
| See she’s the one that sat a nigga down and laced me
 | 
| I remember you, as a little girl
 | 
| Daddy was gone, had never been in your world
 | 
| Mother was strugglin, three jobs jugglin
 | 
| You seemed oblivious, like it wasn’t nothin
 | 
| T.A.M.I. | 
| shine with the brilliance
 | 
| Bounce with resilience
 | 
| Work with the cards that you dealt with
 | 
| Life was hard, and I was too young to see
 | 
| You had a crush on me, that was dumb to me
 | 
| I just wanted to run the streets
 | 
| Holla at the ho’s, drink fo' oh’s
 | 
| But when I take a moment and think
 | 
| I sink into the ink and begin imaginin
 | 
| Her strength and how it’s makin me weak
 | 
| I never thought I would’ve thought it was me
 | 
| But when I, close my eyes and get a vision of love
 | 
| She’s all that I see
 | 
| Ghetto diamond, free from confinement
 | 
| Sparks in my mind lit flames in my heart, the part that is
 | 
| T.A.M.I., the only one that understand me
 | 
| (All for you, it’s really all for you)
 | 
| Days and nights I count away, she remind me
 | 
| (All for you, it’s really all for you)
 | 
| Of dreams and things my inspiration brings into a world so crazy
 | 
| (All for you, it’s really all for you)
 | 
| I look in your eyes and see a woman risin
 | 
| All the guys been, tryin ta get between ya thighs
 | 
| And true lies they tell, what your innocence hides
 | 
| They never would’ve never guessed, you were so wise
 | 
| I feel blessed to be able to see the part of you that’s more special
 | 
| I remember the stress, you passed the test
 | 
| Plus you never needed to fuss through the strife and toil
 | 
| You taught me how to keep my head high, now my life is yours
 | 
| And I apologize for the things I did to cause you pain
 | 
| I SPEAK not these words in vain, my days and nights
 | 
| Are spent tryin ta put my name in lights
 | 
| Convinced mommy raised me right
 | 
| It only makes sense that you would be the one for me
 | 
| I know you been with others but you savin some for me
 | 
| You ain’t mine, I would never try to contain you
 | 
| Let you shine, and with this I put it all on the line
 | 
| I find that it’s
 | 
| At night we take flight
 | 
| On into the morning to the day’s first light
 | 
| We blaze the purple haze, count the ways
 | 
| The world rotates and stays crazy
 | 
| But never faze me, we travel the maze
 | 
| Gaze at the stars, lust and expensive cars
 | 
| Material dreams, results of extensive scars
 | 
| Nobody, knows but you when the doors are closed
 | 
| My wars unfold, and few these stories told
 | 
| Dear T.A.M.I., my heart bleeds for you
 | 
| Words on a page, my calm and my rage
 | 
| Beauty that’s undescribed, we coincide in one vibe
 | 
| Given the rhythm that makes me come alive
 | 
| And I, been thinkin about this for awhile
 | 
| When I mention my love for you, feelin like a child inside
 | 
| Fortified by the image of your face
 |
