[Verse 1]
Mom, dad, I do it for you guys
All of this music, I started because of you
But its funny how ya'll wanted to keep my focus on school
While I had this dream of mine, I really want to pursue
Look, I understand, you did it because you love me
Always been there for me and never quick to judge me
I'm done with school and I'm bout to be my own man
Poppa now gone but he taught me how to be a good man
Mom I know you proud of me, and so he is, and I say it proudly
Dad you in a better place now, you well protected, I'll see you when my day comes
I'm reminiscing last christmas it was all good
You were the one that told me to live life without no rules
I'm proud of you, you taught me how to be a soldier
I'll forever love you dad, till my curtain closes
[Verse 2]
I dedicate this song to you pops
You need it more than I do
Man I hope you know that were my idol
And I still love you
Yeah I still love you
I shed a tear when you left but I feel better now
Even lost some of my peers but it don't matter now
Toughest pill to swallow, that's why I write about it
I hope someone out there understand what my mind doesn't
Its been tough ever since you left pops
Wish I could tell you face to face but I can't pops
Mom is okay though & so am I
And my brothers are but sometime we don't see eye to eye
There's a lot I want to thank you for
1 for being you
You were the realest that's why I grew up looking up to you
If I could turn back the time, without no doubt man I would
But I can't , another kid misunderstood
I'm left with memories of the times that we all had
And all the good times everybody all shared
I'm proud of you, you taught me how to be a soldier
I'll forever love you dad, till my curtain closes
