Word to My Family

Hey Mom
I hope you good
I just wanna tell you something

Yeah
I remember when you used to bring me back to school
I was a youngin' doin' shit you told me all the rules
I never knew why you told me things I hate to hear
After what been thru I ain't got no fucking fear
You showed me the path of life, it's not that easy
Now I'm working on my own mama do you see me?
I just wanna know you're proud, do you like my work
I know you love it when I sing til the feeling hurts
Listen to me close you still hear the love in every song
It's all dedicated to the city that I came from
I never thought that I would miss you like I do it now
When I had some problems in my life you always showed me how
Not about the presents that you gave me every single year
It's bout the feeling everyday when I knew you were here
I usually love the autumn cause that's my time of birth
But last year round that time I lost my biggest worth
I mean I didn't really loose you it's just not the same
You just packed your bag and went back to from where you came
Let's talk about my daddy he's the reason why laugh
Now y'all are crying deep inside you both are still in love
I love you both and I couldn't live without you both
And my lovely two brothers always give me hope
I got a dream that I'm working for through out the day
I do it for you that's why I'm still runnin' on this way
It's a long way, but I wanna go
Take my hand and be my go to when I'm on the road
I never noticed how much love you had in every word
Now I know and to me you mean the whole world
Yeah it's a cold world, but you always kept me warm
Didn't have it all, but I always could lie in your arms
It kept me warm everyday when you talked to me
Even if the things are different as we wanted to be
I hit the studio on a daily that's what keeps me happy
When I go home to my family, brother and my daddy
Home is empty without you shit is crazy
Daddy does it all and I don't see him feelin' little lazy
I woulda help but I gotta do the military
I can't wait to return and make it ordinary
Shit I could cry if think about it
But we all keep together ain't doubt about it

I would die for my family, you're the reason why
I keep on grindin' for my dreams until I'm gonna die
You already know that this is not a lie
I wish I reach it all some day I look up to the sky
I would die for my family, cause I love you all
And I promise I'll be here if I see you fall
You the reason why I never stop believing
Word to my family, I'm preachin'
Yeah
Word to my family, I'm preachin'
Yeah
Word to my family, I'm preachin'
Yeah
Word to my family, I'm preachin'
Yeah
Word to my family, I'm preachin'

If look back I'd say that you deserved some more attention
But I was grindin' in the studio, did it with intention
I remember every word you said to me that day
You told me that I gotta go my own way
Well look at me, I'm still workin' 'til my job is done
I'm still tryna make a hit, I want a number one
And my daddy, I don't know what I would be without
your will to teach me better, they would have kicked me out
Now I realize what y'all did for me
You never wasted time and were here for me
Now I'm living in your house and you cook for me
I want my mama to be here and sing the hook for me
I want us back together even if we're still in hearts
I use the love you give and tryna make it to the charts
My little brother had a hard time, cause he was on hard grind
And I think he would rewind
But he's not that kind
Of man that just lives the life they told to do
I feel the same and I'd say that we got some' to do
We stay real, look around and we see the truth
Now I'm just tryna tell it all while I'm in the booth
There's no limit cause I cannot see a fucking roof
I wrote the story of my life I started in the youth

Damn, sorry for the wait I almost started crying in the booth
And my bigger brother always went his own way
He gave up everything and still hopes for that one day
I'm with you since day one, stay strong
One day will be like we just play one, same song
You was on your own at a young age
Tried to keep your life together new day new page
That's the story that you tell in your own songs
I listen to it I know to where the love belongs
Keep up with my family you're the only ones I'd die for
You raised me right in city where you fight for it
When I look back I miss the smile when we were untroubled
Now I'm workin' like I'm Russell, I just triple doubled
Life's not perfect but it's always worth it living it
Tryna keep the bond with every single guy I'm living with
I just wanna live and love, I don't want more
And every moment that I had was worth living for

I would die for my family, cause I love you all
And I promise I'll be here if I see you fall
You the reason why I never stop believing
Word to my family, I'm preachin'
