Proud
I'm proud to call you my fam
I'm proud to call you my brothers
I'm proud to call you my sisters and I'm proud to call you my mothers
My fathers too even tho you think I want nothing from ya
I'm grateful for nights you'd tuck me underneath the covers
I wonder if you knew I knew all the pressure that you was under
I still mean it when I tell you I love ya
I let the distance grow farther because I had a daughter
Don't think that I ever had what it took to become a father
You made it look so easy you and mom
I'm gonna remember everything you taught long after you gone
I know I'm not the main thing that you wanted as a son
I just know that I will have truly changed the world when I'm done
This ain't always fun
But that's life right yeah you taught me that
You told me be original cause no one likes a copycat
So much wisdom
I wronged you so many times don't know how you forgive them
I bet in High School you thought I'd end up in prison
Now you probably happy I didn't
I'm happy too
If I prayed to god I'd tell him that I'm happy you
Stepped in to raise a child that your bodies couldn't create
And tell me there's no reason on Earth that I couldn't be great
For putting a smile on my face
And putting food on my plate
And teaching me to unconditionally love and not to hate
These the things that you gave
and they the things that I'll take
Cause you were always so real
Meanwhile the world was so fake
I know you going through it and I see you
You could be anyone but just be you
I know life don't always give you the best hand
If it don't work out then it's on to the next plan
But you got this
Mmhhmm
I know you'll rock it
Mmhmmm
Mom and Dad right here we so proud of you
So don't let the world take it out
on you
Your father never been a perfect man
Nobody life follow a perfect plan
Too many times I popped perc or xan
Cause I felt like I wasn't worth a damn
I hated myself for so many years
Filled up my brain with the opinions of my peers
That's the kind of stuff that's cancer to careers
I'd just fight it with the blood sweat and tears
I learned not to be scared but embrace your fears
Be patient, and be eager to embrace these years
How much time you got here isn't up to your decisions
You might only have today so why not try to make a difference
Don't be obsessed getting ahead on your looks
People will use you like a head on a hook
Don't let em drain you take your energy
Often times your friends will turn into your enemies
So guard your heart and soul my child
Don't let the world take away your smile
I know you going through it and I see you
You could be anyone but just be you
I know life don't always give you the best hand
If it don't work out then it's on to the next plan
But you got this
Mmhhmm
I know you'll rock it
Mmhmmm
Mom and Dad right here we so proud of you
