Elegy
And I know that you would be proud of me
Know you've seen everything that I've done
I see humans but no humanity
Words lead to insanity
Rose from concrete
By the toes of those that planted me
I daydream, bout places that I have never seen
Rest your soul
As I make it to the big screen
On top of that
Imma live until the better days
See the stepping stones
Of the kids that I'm gonna raise
Praise, God, you know where I stand
By my momma
Now she turned into my best friend
Thank you for the memories
Good and the bad
Woulda never been myself
If I let the time pass
Don't be drinking
Pour a Snapple as I fill the wine glass
Celebration of the future
Since I'm growing too fast
Really don't believe this is good as it gets
Really don't believe I'll be calling it quits
Any time soon
Sun or the moon
Lil bo cat plus a bit of Lil June
Now I know that you
Looking down on me
You can see
That I've cared for my son
And I know that you
Would be proud of me
Know you've seen
Everything that I've done
It's so much I didn't say
It's so much I didn't do
It's so much I'd sacrifice to get another day with you
I refocus when I slack
My perception been askew
Kept my promise that I made
Swear I'm gonna stick it through
Everything changed
Still feel pain
Gold bulldog
On my chain
Stolen but guess they needed that more than me
Said I'd be the man I needed
Then I started to see
That so my role models turn into false prophets
That talk profits
They been lining they pockets
Off of all the dreams that these young kids chase
Steady emulating just to seal they fate
Around the rose bush, I been taking in riddles
Been a while but the pain still hurting me a little
I know that you gone but your presence is a fuel
I'm a diamond in the rough
But they still know imma jewel
Now I know that you
Looking down on me
You can see
That I've cared for my son
And I know that you
Would be proud of me
Know you've seen
Everything that I've done
Your daughter planted this garden
Picking up where you started
She getting help from me
So she can be carefree
You told me watch for my family
Don't let things in between
I'm trynna keep us together
I know the pressures on me
I try not to dwell
But I have no help
The glue to my family
Pretend like I'm well
I know what you did
I know why you did it
We thought it was selfish
I hope we're forgiven
You gave up your body
To nurture your soul
These times that we living
Fear I won't get old
But this not about me
I just want to say
I hope that you see what we're doing today
Now I know that you
Looking down on me
You can see
That I've cared for my son
And I know that you
Would be proud of me
Know you've seen
Everything that I've done
Looking down on me
Know you're proud of me
Know I've cared for my son
Looking down me
Know you're proud of me
Seen all that I have done
Know you've seen everything that I've done
I see humans but no humanity
Words lead to insanity
Rose from concrete
By the toes of those that planted me
I daydream, bout places that I have never seen
Rest your soul
As I make it to the big screen
On top of that
Imma live until the better days
