[Verse 1: Don P] I know you put it on the line, if not id be lyin I tend to focus on the bad, but let me thnak you one time There was a time, when i wasn't really focused on tryin They tried to clip my wings... you had hope... and now im flyin I remember way back, 2E, second floor Console tv on the floor, nice lady nextdoor Used to give me different things that she got from the store And until I was told, I didn't know I was poor When you took me out to eat, got a pop and nothin more Like Dad ain't you hungry?? sayin no, while your stomach roar I guess he ate before... Didn't really think it over Didn't really understand, not until I got older Now im older.. you never gonna skip a meal!! God willin.. never worry about a bill!! You sons bright... never worry bout the light Never worry about a thing.. you raised me right [Hook: Don P] Even when im doing wrong, know you rasied me right And we didn't have it all.. still you raised me right.. Everything that you taught me really saved my life So let me thank you one time, you raised me right Even when im doing wrong, know you rasied me right And we didn't have it all.. still you raised me right.. Everything that you taught me really saved my life So let me thank you one time, you raised me right
[Verse 2: Don P] By the age of 15, i was whilin on the low With the older kids, always down to roll Sneakin out my window... pops didn't know Till the cops called his phone, told um take me home He came and got me... barely even said a word I guess why repeat something, I already heard Bullet holes, broken windows, all from the dirt I need ta give a damn, before my fam get hurt Plus all the lil ones watchin, need to see a different option Bought everything im koppin, off of everything im droppin Legal hustle.. nothin feels better than that And who I was? Im trying to be better than that This is better than rap, this is real life From the ground, in town, now im on flights All them long days.. turnin into long nights Never worry about a thang... you raised me right [Hook: Don P] Even when im doing wrong, know you rasied me right We didn't have it all.. still you raised me right.. Everything that you taught me really saved my life So let me thank you one time, you raised me right Even when im doing wrong, know you rasied me right We didn't have it all.. still you raised me right.. Everything that you taught me really saved my life So let me thank you one time, you raised me right *fades out with hook*
