Full Circle

Thank you for loving me, like I was your son
Like I was not a burden and more of a fortune
You are the reason I got to eating these beats and I never ceased
You believed in me even when I went GED in my teens
It was a cold world, I just made it harder for you
But you never made me feel like I was a bother for you
Even though I always acted out and I would steal
Cuz I was banking on you backing out to keep it real
I know we ain't had much, and I was like that sucks
But you were always rich in unconditional mad love
And you showed me how to keep promises cuz you don't leave
Yet half the people that I knew were always too phony
I know it breaks your heart that I don't believe in the same church
But you taught me how to trust the thoughts in my brain first
I'm a happy man, look at what you did
I'm a product of the happy home environment I lived

I think about life, I think about you
I think about everything we've been through
And I would never trade that, I would never take back
Any of it, not for nothing, no way
I think about life, I think about you
I think about everything that we knew
And I can never change that, never get the pain back
Would you give it all to take it away

You could have aborted me entirely, I'm glad you didn't
Cuz I've inspired more souls with the raps I've finished
Than I can count, it's all about perspective
And even though the past had both of us affected
I still love you, you're my mother and I'm happy that we're close
Even though we had a couple obstacles along the road
Ain't it funny how the time heals what the time kills?
You and I built valleys out of petrified hills
I know that you tried, I know that it's not because you hated me
I know you had to check in with yourself to fill the vacancy
Inside, I'm happy you're alive
I wish that I was there for you more when you almost died
But I was tryna stay clean, that was harder for me than it may seem
Never visited, I might as well have been in Beijing
But I digress and as long as I'm breathing
I want you to know that I love you and I mean it

I think about life, I think about you
I think about everything we've been through
And I would never trade that, I would never take back
Any of it, not for nothing, no way
I think about life, I think about you
I think about everything that we do
And I can never change that, never get the pain back
Would you give it all to take it away

Would you give it all to take it away
Would you give it all to take it away
