Back when I was worried about what I had to work with
I heard a voice say Lucky get your mind off of broke shit
Get focused, get some go get
That’s the only way to blow I said well no shit
I had a slow dip trying to keep my whole grip
After a couple tragedies gradually I saw it slip
I sunk a little bit trying to drown it in a fifth
Water underneath the bridge leave it in the past tense
See I was worried because I didn’t know where my path went
But if I didn’t struggle I could never have this
Peace of mind to help me wash away the madness
And flow with a confidence that I ain’t never had since
Back in 99, feet on the recliner now
Left Carolina but I’m back and feeling finer now
Winking at the sunrays that’s Summer smiling now
Happy that I’m coming up with no intent of climbing down
Did I need my team though? Fam that was kind of how
Feeding off the energy they give me when they crowd around
The young black miracle, oh so lyrical
Flow with the soul of a negro spiritual
South in my blood the legacy of the sorrow songs
With a little more from the melody that I borrowed from
A couple years ago I was fearful of what I might become
Because I didn’t know but now I’m hoping tomorrow comes
Because when tomorrow comes, we begin forever
I’m looking forward to that future we’re gonna share together
And everybody that was down I’m ‘a tell them
Leave my flowers to the living so they get a chance to smell them
Let ‘em know

Yes I love y’all yes I love y’all
It feels good
And that’s a wonderful thing, say it’s a wonderful thing
Yes I love y’all, yes I love y’all
It feels good
It’s so wonderful don’t you agree

Thinking way back when I examine the case
I wasn’t trying to leave the world but wasn’t fighting to stay
Self hate just wasting away
Ask Will y’all I used to drink a fifth of Castillo a day for real
My attempt at concealing the way I felt about it
It hurt inside but I reckon I never wept about it
But holding back hurt worse I finally recognized it
So I had to find a new method to try to reconcile it
I gathered up what’s left to fill the missing piece
I held the memories close and kept the energy
I quit neglecting my health, stopped abusing me
And stated taking care of myself because they were using me
And I refuse to be broken we got to break through
A movement my duty’s to be a vehicle
So now I got to arrive and they can see it too
Looking through my eyes that gives me the strength to see it through
And that’s what I’m ‘a do. My people helped me grow
Ite beautiful I love them and I’m ‘a let them know
Queen City represent Mt Holly Greenville
Gashouse Chucktown all the way to Chapel Hill
On the west coast I got family that supports me
I got folks on Crenshaw that’ll cook a meal for me
Big shoutout to my mama G dub and Jai Honey
Willy Bo, TKO and don’t forget my E Money
Let’ em know.
