And to them young mothers fed up, just keep your head up
Don't let up, you fall you get up
You make your bed up that you sleep in
Fake rappers ain't practicing what they preaching (Nah)
They tell you hit the trap while they relaxing on the beach and

And smell this shit for what it is
Not Kells but I love the kids (But I love the kids)
And so I make the songs that let 'em know that they important (Yeah)
