I.O.U. Much,
For Everything Going In The World,
Just Makes You Sit Down And Reflect On Everybody
Everybody
I.O.U Much
That Said A Kind Word Or A Kind Gesture
And I Owe So Much To So Many.

Although I Took A Path Not Commely Chose,
And People Might Say I Look Thuggish In Cloths
Although I Still Hear My Peers Sayin Zane U Aint Gonna
Make It, I Can Still Hear The Voice Sayin "I Know You
Gonna Make It" My Teacher Ms.
Johnson Always Had A Kind Word,
Not Once Said My Dream Was Obsurd Although I Looked
As School As Chore, Class Was So Much More
I Love To See That Lady Limp Thru The Door,
Althought She Was Much Much Older She Coulld Still
Relate, She Had A Son Of Her Own That Got A Son My Age.
And The Reason I've Been Sayin That She Was And Has
Is Cuz A Year Ago Ms.Johson Passed.
And Although I Wanna See You To Say I Owe Ya,
Im So Glad I Got A Chance Just To Get Know Ya
Look At Me Ms.J Im On Tv.And If I Could I Would Of
Told God To Take Me, Take Me (I Owe You)

[Chorus x2:]
I.O.U Much, So Much Baby So Much, To Much Words Dont Explain It

Listen... And To My Mother How Could I Begin To Repay,
Nine Months Hard Labor And A Place To Stay,
Thru The Years You Were There When I Aint Have No Way
Show Me How To Make A Catch
And To My Father, Whos A Straight Hustler,
Make Money Outta Dirt, Boy I Gotta Love You,
I Had Parents When My Friends Didnt Have Nobody
Glad You Stayed And Stuck Together When It Got Rocky,
I Coulda Give You The World Woulda Make A Dent,
Toward The Things U Unselflissley Lent, You Gave Your Time And Your Effort
Never Mention The Dough And Listen I Could Go On Some
More, Left Your Youth, For All Days,
To Raise You, My Cost To Crime Never Gave Me A Chance
To Raise The Roof, I Might Be The One Spittin These Words
In This Booth But I Had Is Yours And That's The Truth

[Chrous x2:]
I.O.U Much, So Much Baby So Much, To Much Words Dont Explain It

I O U For All The Times, For All The Times You've Protected
Me, For All The Times I Coulda Been Harmed And I Wasnt,
I Owe U For All The Good People U Put In My Life,
To Guide Me, Support Me. I O U For Every Breath, Every Day.

To God Can I Please Write A I O U Cuz Monatary Figures
Just Wont Do, U Can Pull A Plug And Let A Straight
Bullet Hit Me, Instead I Feel Protected Like U Really
Love Me, I Coulda Been In New York When The Planes
Hit, Or Been Chillin With Aayliah When The Tail Flipped

I Can Be Your Missing Child Or Stuck In The System,
I Can Be A Rap Artist With No One To Listen,
I Guess It Jus Wasnt In Ur Design,
It Looks Like You Only Wanted Zane To Shine,
So How Can I Pay You Back When I Owe So Much To Ya,
I Pray U Take My Soul When Its Time To Come To Ya,
So I Bring Flowers To Ms.Johson For A Class In Heaven,
And My Moma A Dimaond Necklace With A Visible Sentence,
And My Pops Who Loves A Cadiallic With Rims And Such,
And To God, Can My Soul Be Enough?

[Chrous x2:]
I.O.U Much, So Much Baby So Much, To Much Words Dont Explain It

To Ms Johnson, (I Owe U Much)
To My Parents For All Your Help
And I Cant Forget God (I Owe U Much)
