Letter To My Pops

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Look
This ain't just another song man
This is, the song, know what I'm saying

You used to drop me off at school, like damn near every morning
That's when you didn't have a job
But somehow beat the odds and was still always there for me
We seen families break up and go through things
But it seems like we always got stronger
Like something deep inside was telling you keep going
Look young man, this here is your moment
You gotta go own it
Then you went and wrote that song for uncle Charlie
Now you on your way out to the Grammys
I'm thinking like damn this gone change the whole family
But I was playing ball so I didn't understand it
Few jobs and a couple cars later
Feel like we right back in the same situation
But I never once seen you waver, and that's because I always seen greater

Yeah, I'm proud of you
Yeah, I just wanna let you know I'm proud of you
Yeah, yeah I know it gets hard, you got like a thousand jobs
But somehow you manage to still beat all the odds
And you told me that I can be what I want
So when the world hear me, I ain't never gone stop
Yeah, I'm proud of you

I know it broke your heart when I told you and mom
That I ain't wanna play football no more
But you should've seen how your face lit up
When I told you that I wanted to do music
You was bragging to Unc bout how that bug bit him
It was like you got you mini me
I remember sitting behind you on that red couch in the studio
Tryna see how you did everything
3 EPs in we still going strong
You probably think that I inspired you
But really you was the one who been inspiring me all along
Now it's time for us to take this talent that God blessed us with
So we can go further than beyond
And when we get on top, we can kickback and sip on Don Perignon
And reminisce about the days that we wasn't on

Man, I'm proud of you
Yeah, yeah pops I'm proud of you
Yeah, yeah
I know we ain't perfect but shoot it's just perfect to me
I'm glad I can see what you seen in me
And I know I hadn't said this in awhile
But if you don't know then you know now
Dad I'm proud of you
