The Proud Family

I’m writing this one for my mama
Hoping itll help you through your drama
A couple life gems, it’ll help you navigate the trauma
Some peace on the days it’d be hard to find it
A whooping ain't malicious when there’s love behind it
Tear that ass up, ironic I got older and I tore they ass up
Cheers to the years, go and hold your glass up
I done probably shed a tear for every deal I passed up
Used to say that I would put you in a brand new range truck
Now I think you should walk since I had to catch the bus
Put an image of my mama, they just called me little Rus

I’m writing this one for my mama
Hoping itll help you through your drama
A couple life gems, it’ll help you navigate the trauma
Don’t it feel good when your account got a comma
Even if it’s only one

Letter from your only son, aye
No favorites the only one, huh

Letter from your only son, aye
Baptized, she the holy one

Jane Hancock:
Ooh
Shed tears for the time you were there, thinking of you
But my heart I will show you that I care
It’s all I can do
No we might not always win
But we never gon’ lose
Through whatever we go through
I got you

I’m writing this one for Pops, the man who passed the keys to the lock
Can’t wait to give you keys to your spot
This hustle don’t stop, this train gon’ move
We might not win, but we ain’t gon’ lose
I know the clout that come with being a man
It trip and fall, ain’t gotta lay there with yo knee in your hand
But had to execute when ain’t nobody seeing the plan
It take a certain kind of man to just look at the land
And see the future, commander and chief might reduce ya
A soldier, if I’ma do anything, it’s salute ya

Can’t wait to give you keys to your spot
