[Chorus]
This is for my people back home
We're lightin' one up, feel the love
We wouldn't be here without ya
This is for my people back home
Mix it strong, pour it out, no doubt
We're always thinkin' about ya (Whoa)
Ain't gonna let you down (Whoa)
Just wanna make you proud
This is for my people back home
My people back home, my people back home

[Verse 1]
See, this one's for my people
From the backwoods to the steeple
For my daddy and that preacher man
That taught me to run from evil
From the people that I'm still so cool with
And the people that I went to school with
For the boys I ran around and stomped them grounds
And broke them rules with
This one's for my family and the way that I was raised
And now my life's another city, another picture, another stage
But I hope you know I miss ya, and part of me's still with ya
And no matter where I go or what I do, I won't forget ya
[Chorus]
This is for my people back home
We're lightin' one up, feel the love
We wouldn't be here without ya
This is for my people back home
Mix it strong, pour it out, no doubt
We're always thinkin' about ya (Whoa)
Ain't gonna let you down (Whoa)
Just wanna make you proud
This is for my people back home
My people back home, my people back home

[Verse 2]
This is for the one's who believed in me
For the one's who took the time to breathe the life in me
You got my heart beatin' inside of me
Y'all made me what I tried to be
For the one's who love my music
Said you could do it if you choose it
So we dream big and we work hard
Now we got the whole world cruisin'

[Chorus]
This is for my people back home
We're lightin' one up, feel the love
We wouldn't be here without ya
This is for my people back home
Mix it strong, pour it out, no doubt
We're always thinkin' about ya (Whoa)
Ain't gonna let you down (Whoa)
Just wanna make you proud
This is for my people back home
My people back home, my people back home
[Verse 3]
For my brother, for my sister
For my mama, yeah, I miss her
For the one that got away
Damn, I shoulda kissed her
For my best friends and my cousins
And that town that we grew up in
If it wasn't for all of ya'll
This ol' boy would be nothin'

[Bridge]
You're runnin' through our hearts
You've been here from the start
Yeah, you know who you are
(Y'all know who you are, baby)
You're in every song I sing
You're in every dream I dream
You're the beat inside of me
You're the beat inside of me

[Chorus]
This is for my people back home
We're lightin' one up, feel the love
We wouldn't be here without ya
This is for my people back home
Mix it strong, pour it out, no doubt
We're always thinkin' about ya (Whoa)
Ain't gonna let you down (Whoa)
Just wanna make you proud
This is for my people back home
My people back home, my people back home
[Outro]
Yeah, my people back home
My people back home, my people back home
Yeah, my people back home
My people back home, my people back home
Yeah, my people back home
My people back home, my people back home
