Foreparents Lyrics

[Intro]
You were both wise beyond your years
You showed us that to achieve greatness
We must first conquer our own internal fears
As sons, daugthers, fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers
We stand before you today
Grateful
You were both tough and firm
But in a sentence could create a laugh
You are in all of our hearts
You always will be
I'm left inspired by the standard you have set for us
A standard and a legacy that will be carried on further
By your futurе generations
You've fillеd my life with wisdom
With humour and with class
You've put your name amongst the stars
A name that's carried on through ours
Thank you

[Verse 1]
I'm ever learning from your legacy
From all the lessons you have showed
I'm now prepared to thrive and go succeed
Failure
You don't stand a chance so get away from me
At every single fall, they was there mending
For every sickness, they had the medicine
If something broke they got a remedy
They paved the way
The way for me to see
A better lifestyle is awaiting me
So I went and bagged success
She booked a date with me
Wait and see what's coming
My dreams to live, until my last breath
My final days
Not laying on no bed regretting
That's the standard that you set
To you the highest of respect
You earnt the highest
Of my respect
Role-modelled greatness

[Chrous]
Out here I'm tryna build a legacy
Out here I'm tryna build a home
I miss you
Sad that you gone
But your lessons, they set in stone

[Bridge]
Like for real
There's no other role models I can claim I've ever had
Not even just individually
But collectively
Togetherness
The 2 of you
Showed me the challenges of
War and love
Of family
Grandparents
Rest in peace
Rest in me

[Chrous]
I'm out here
I'm tryna build a legacy
I'm out here
Tryna build a home
I miss you
Sad that you're gone
But your lessons, they set in stone

[Outro]
It's rest in peace
Forever sleeping
Heartbreaking that you're gone
Stuck replaying this song, I'm
I'm lost
Lost
I'm lost
