[Intro]
Your decision, your attitude
Your concern for others, your love for others
All of those traits, should burn brighter and faster
And you already do, and I'm so happy that you’re my grandson
And I thank God you know, how much I love you
[Chorus: Navy Blue]
Whether I'm in Navy or in forest
I'll forever be her baby and pay the mortgage
I’m at the gravesite paying homage
Papa made me promise I'll finish college
Whether I'm in Navy or in forest
I'll forever be your baby and pay the mortgage
I'm at the gravesite paying homage
Papa made me promise I'll finish college
[Verse 1: Navy Blue]
Cop shorty the cheetah in an old soul
His and hers, more feelings rushing in, I keep twisting the herb
My uncle had a Junior and he named him the Third
Won't show up at your communion, 'cause auntie has the nerve
Mama did it all by herself, Mama bathed grandma by herself
Ain’t none of y’all helped, claimed to be siblings, sheesh
And I miss Papa so I live in his remembrance
I wipe the tears from my grandma eyes
I know she see the resemblance
And, and most my fears really take up time
Need to pay my mama a visit
Twenty years seemed to walk on by
She my mama but I'm grateful for our friendship
All the tears couldn’t make 'em abide
It's gon be the hardest when we sayin' goodbye
[Verse 2: MIKE]
Sun will shine soon, comin’ outside
Pray your love still come in my size
All the shit that I've seen with my eyes
All the shit they did to stop MIKE
But I'm the type, keep going at the stop light
Started gaining courage once I reached my pop's height
Peep the industry will do you like apartheid
In the streets, that's the only place my heart lie
'Cause they ain't even giving freedom out to smart guys
It was deep enough to speak about the dark times
We watched the moon come in, even saw the stars climb
Had it rough but I knew I couldn't fault mom
Black woman, she was prayin' out to all Gods
It's deeper than the click in your screen
I'm the source, the bigger picture is free
She can't see me in a bit, so she preach
Gave me air when I needed to breathe
Gave me fear that our history grieve
Gave me air when I needed to breathe
