Proud

Imma pop up least expected
Knock, knock, knock, knock
Did you get my message

As a kid, I just wanted to make my family proud
Look at what we’re doing, guess you can say we got a family now

I’m tryna give back to the people that helped me most
I’m doing the most
Put my prayers up to the most high
It’s up in the smoke

Yea I’m gassed up, I need to some air
I’m Tryna make her proud, all these decades that we share

You, me, everybody sees
That I’m doing it for you
I’m just praying that you can see

You, me, I know that you can see
I just wanna make you proud
Your grandson’s got some feats

You, me, everybody sees
That I’m doing it for you
I’m just praying that you can see

You, me, I know that you can see
I just wanna make you proud
I see that smile from the seats

You’re Doing it big, I’m tryna do it better
Had this dream since I was a kid
I’m wrapped up like a sweater

I was thinking bout you
While I was writing bout this
Small kid from the 954
Onto a Highway, 95th

You got me pushing, that’s why I can never be bored
You got me pushing, that’s why you’re gon’ see what’s in store
I was thrown backwards, to be honest, I’m not smarter than the rest
I’m tryna make you proud, in the future, I’ll take care of the rest

You, me, everybody sees
That I’m doing it for you
I’m just praying that you can see

You, me, I know that you can see
I just wanna make you proud
Your grandson’s got some feats

You, me, everybody sees
That I’m doing it for you
I’m just praying that you can see

You, me, I know that you can see
I just wanna make you proud
I see that smile from the seats

(AHH) left, left, right, right
Left, left, left, left, right
(AHH) left, left, right, right
Left, left, right, right
(AHH) left, left, right, right

I’m tryna make you proud

I was a kid then, I guess I’m still a kid now
Don’t worry bout me, you’re taking care of yourself now
I’m tryna make a world that’s better for us
You brought me into this world, imma make it a lil’ less rough

Raised in a climate where our sworn protectors are hurting us
We’re now the Criminals, they turning the gun on us

I start to think “what if that happened to you?”
I’m tryna make it big, so I won’t ever have a clue

You told me how you don’t wanna be put in no nurse care
I saw your mom being taken care of when they didn’t even care for her
And that’s your worst fear

So imma put you in a nice house
Visit you all the time
By your side even when the light’s out

But there’s some things I gotta do
Some money I gotta make
Focused on my 1300
What path will I even take?

So many thoughts going through
Circling down the drain
Head’s dizzy, I’ll keep going till that day
Cause I’m tryna make you proud
