| Well son, I’ll tell you
|
| All the time I’s been turning corners and sometimes going in the dark where
|
| there ain’t been no light
|
| So boy, don’t you turn back
|
| Don’t you fall now
|
| It’s been awhile since I seen you smile
|
| Just want you to know I’m still proud
|
| Don’t care how nobody else feels about you
|
| Slow down, I can’t lose you
|
| You’re all I got, you’re my only child
|
| I kinda want a baby, really don’t know why
|
| When I still drive my mama crazy
|
| Really there’s no such thing as perfect timing without no patience
|
| Really need to be somebody patient, I ain’t slept since graduation
|
| You don’t know my situation
|
| Man I don’t know what I’m facing and I hate it
|
| They say congratulations but they really mad I made it
|
| I just don’t hesitate, man they wasn’t really aggravated
|
| And I know feelings don’t matter but I been feeling madder lately
|
| You don’t get it homie, I just don’t wanna disappoint that lady
|
| At this point it’s too late, they have my picture on front of the paper again
|
| And guess what, she forgave me again
|
| And then told me keep my distance from those who ain’t really my friends
|
| It’s been awhile since I seen you smile
|
| Just want you to know I’m still proud
|
| Don’t care how nobody else feels about you
|
| Slow down, I can’t lose you
|
| You’re all I got, you’re my only child
|
| Never hesitate to call home
|
| No matter what you’re going through
|
| 'cause nothing in all creation
|
| Can separate my love from you
|
| Even as the world tries to take you down
|
| Remember that you’re special to me
|
| Remember you’re my everything
|
| Remember when it was just you and me
|
| It’s been a minute since I shed a tear
|
| You taught me to never fear
|
| John Madden, Michael Jordans, you bought me them every year
|
| Told me to be my own man, and you said it clear
|
| Life ain’t been no crystal stair, I’m here through the consistent prayer
|
| Wish I wasn’t so good at holding grudges, ma you know I love you
|
| Imagine how cold it’d make your heart to have you heat to go in public
|
| Granny think I’m a perfect angel, even though I’m thuggin'
|
| Face all on the news, ain’t nothing changed
|
| Y’all answer when no one doesn’t
|
| Don’t know how you haven’t given up on me, I forever owe you
|
| Since I don’t know when we’ll go I want to let you know
|
| Ever since I can remember, you been heroic
|
| I love you, gotta get better at showin' it
|
| 'Cause lately I been stoic
|
| It’s been awhile since I seen you smile
|
| Just want you to know I’m still proud
|
| Don’t care how nobody else feels about you
|
| Slow down, I can’t lose you
|
| You’re all I got, you’re my only child
|
| It’s been awhile since I seen you smile
|
| Just want you to know I’m still proud
|
| Don’t care how nobody else feels about you
|
| Slow down, I can’t lose you
|
| You’re all I got, you’re my only child
|
| I know it’s been a while
|
| Ooh, and I don’t care, yeah, oh yeah |
