[Intro]
You made a few mistakes, G, but I’m
Alright, cool
[Chorus]
You made a few mistakes, G, but I’m proud of you
You know I wasn’t one to hate, I never doubted you
I couldn’t wait 'til you were free 'cause I'm proud of you, yeah
'Cause I’m proud of you, yeah
[Verse 1]
Like first things first, rest in paradise
I am the way I am 'cause your advice
And rest in peace again, I had to say it twice
I took a chance, had to roll the dice
Our family tree was doing so much wrong, had to do it right
I know our family listening to this song
But to them, it’s like I brought you back to life
But for me, it’s like, how I’m talking to you every night?
They cannot see all the pain that I’m going through
It’s not the same when I’m growing up without you
I know you left me for a reason, know I’m down to stay
Was it yourself or did someone take your life away?
And if it was someone, trust, I would throw it away
'Cause if I fail, I'ma see you today, yeah
[Chorus]
You made a few mistakes, G, but I’m proud of you
You know I wasn’t one to hate, I never doubted you
I couldn’t wait 'til you were free 'cause I'm proud of you, yeah
'Cause I’m proud of you, yeah
You made a few mistakes, G, but I’m proud of you
You know I wasn’t one to hate, I never doubted you
I couldn’t wait 'til you were free 'cause I'm proud of you, yeah
'Cause I’m proud of you, yeah
[Verse 2]
I do this for my brother that was in them chains for eight
RIP my brother, know I’m praying every day
I’m here staying good and ignoring all the hate
I made a few mistakes, the same ones that you made
But I ain't even changed, I can’t even see the day
I'ma just get rich, get a tatt' of your face
Still got that letter, man, I hope it stays in place
Got a couple friends that are with me in the race
I still feel your soul 'til this day
Still, everyday I wish it was face to face
Sometimes I wish we would swap places
But I gotta change our perception of making it
And brother, I made it
Brother, I made it
Brother, I made it
I hope you proud of me too
Didn’t know that jail visit was the last time I'd see you
You told me reach above the limit and just soar like an eagle
I’m lucky I picked up the mic, could’ve picked up the deagle
But trust, I learned that lesson when your life was surrounded by evil
[Chorus]
You made a few mistakes, G, but I’m proud of you
You know I wasn’t one to hate, I never doubted you
I couldn’t wait 'til you were free 'cause I'm proud of you, yeah
'Cause I’m proud of you, yeah
You made a few mistakes, G, but I’m proud of you
You know I wasn’t one to hate, I never doubted you
I couldn’t wait 'til you were free 'cause I'm proud of you, yeah
'Cause I’m proud of you, yeah
