I know you proud of me, look at all the shit I prevailed
The youngest of your seeds, makin' sure the family eat well
I give 'em what they need, I vow we always be well
I told brodie change his ways, I'm prayin' he don't see jail
To live another day, I'm prayin' I won't see Hell
Ain't no tellin' what I'd do for my family, just know I mean well
No, you ain't next to me, no, you ain't next to me
But I'm hopin' you can see, I'm prayin' you can see

A million dollar curses turn to million dollar dreams
A million dollars on me, but girl, it ain't what it seems
I'm havin' nightmares
I'm havin' nightmares of my brother clutchin' on me
Can't see the snakes up in the grass, so will you show me?
"You can't trust, these niggas ain't your friends," what you told me
Young man, just stay up out the streets, it could get lonely
"You can do whatever you wanna dream of," what you told me
I ain't understand your words back then, but that's the old me
Now look at me now
I'm walkin' on the stage, they waitin' for me, like twenty-three thou'
Too many voices in my head, just know I'm hearin' you loud
I'm walkin' 'round, smile on my face, just know I'm hurtin' inside
Oh yeah, I'm hurtin' inside
So I buy diamonds on diamonds on diamonds galore
Chain after chain after chain, what's the worth?
But it seemed to be the only thing that make me happy
I lost my soul when I lost my daddy
I know, I know

I know you proud of me, look at all the shit I prevailed
The youngest of your seeds, makin' sure the family eat well
I give 'em what they need, I vow we always be well
I told brodie change his ways, I'm prayin' he don't see jail
To live another day, I'm prayin' I won't see Hell
Ain't no tellin' what I'd do for my family, just know I mean well
No, you ain't next to me (me), no, you ain't next to me (me)
But I'm hopin' you can see, I'm prayin' you can see

Hunnid dollar nightmares turn to million dollar dreams
Ridin' past the block where my dad got left on the scene (brrt)
Look at your lil' boy now, we done turned to kings
Shit turned me a grown man 'fore I was seventeen
Had to go and play my own hand, I did this for Nasheema and the whole fam
I got everything, but I just really wanna hold hands
With my old man on weddin' day while we slow dance
But ain't no love, shot him in his heart, ain't have no chance
So I can't sleep, insomniac, bullet holes out the Pontiac
Swear to God, I'd trade in all these riches to get Robbie back
Swear to God, I'd trade in all these foreigns to get Terry back
I'm hangin' out with my daddy, lost his life and I'm aware of that
You had taught me how to fight
And when you got shot, I thought about that shit every night
Ain't got a Glock, I was hot, but I ain't stop
I just bought your mom a spot, and winnin' now
She was livin' PHA, now can't nobody kick us out
Scared to show up to your grave 'cause I might try to dig you out
Like you know I did this shit for you
Never heard you say it back, still be like, "I miss you too"
And when I catch the nigga that did this to you, he gettin' sent to you
Skippin' school, daddy dead, fuck the principal
She think I'm missin' screws, when really, I'm just missin' you
My homie dad gon' pick us up, I want you to get me too
I was kinda mad I ain't have one that used to hit me too
Nipsey, Blue, Cullinan, I'm in the Ghost, I think of you
Think of bro, I think of Snupe, I think 'bout Ben, make me ooh (shit)
Money rule the world, but you can't pay God with it
I'd spend it all just to get back my niggas

I know you proud of me, look at all the shit I prevailed
The youngest of your seeds, makin' sure the family eat well
I give 'em what they need, I vow we always be well
I told brodie change his ways, I'm prayin' he don't see jail
To live another day, I'm prayin' I won't see Hell
Ain't no tellin' what I'd do for my family, just know I mean well
No, you ain't next to me, no, you ain't next to me
But I'm hopin' you can see, I'm prayin' you can see Writer/s: Francis Leblanc, Marco Pierre, Robert Rihmeek Williams, Rodney Montreal
