[Chrous: theMIND]
Making my way down memory lane
Carving my name in mountains
I am soaring
Hold me still
I try to be everything everybody ever wanted
But all I wanted was you
To be proud of me
To be proud of me
[Verse 1: J.Tek]
A nigga play with my niece
Then I gotta beat his ass
Rolled the dice in back of class
Lost a couple dollars to another nigga
Now I'm mad
Momma gave me that bread to buy some snacks
But I made it back 100 times, momma
I'm working hard
I'm putting overtime, momma
Your son made it
Ain't no more crying, momma
Ask the Lord why my niggas dying
At least a nigga trying
A couple labels sold me dreams, but I ain't never buying
And now a nigga flying
First class with the seats leaned back
I know my momma proud
[Pre-Chorus: J.Tek]
I know my dawg in the sky smiling down on me
Grandma smiling down on me
Grandpa, smiling down on me
I know my angels really proud of me
[Chrous: theMIND]
Making my way down memory lane
Carving my name in mountains
I am soaring
Hold me still
I try to be everything everybody ever wanted
But all I wanted was you
To be proud of me
To be proud of me
[Verse 2: J.Tek]
I can't believe we made it
Momma watched me on TV
Shit was so amazing
I know we came a long way but I can't get complacent
I hope my dawg beat his case with the time he facing
That's a lotta years
Lost a lot of loved ones, shed a lot of tears
Had a lot of obstacles, had a lot of fears
Thought a nigga would be gone, but I'm still standing here
And I'm standing strong
Changed a few generations, put the family on
Sometimes I feel like we connected when I'm writing songs
Didn't come as a surprise, knew it all along
[Pre-Chorus: J.Tek]
I know my dawg in the sky smiling down on me
Grandma smiling down on me
Grandpa, smiling down on me
I know my angels really proud of me
[Chrous: theMIND]
Making my way down memory lane
Carving my name in mountains
I am soaring
Hold me still
I try to be everything everybody ever wanted
But all I wanted was you
To be proud of me
To be proud of me
