[Verse] This is the path I chose And I love it, but I just wonder Is this how you pictured me When you first became my mother? Reading to me every night You gave me all of your love Even with dad gone Always smiled and rubbed on my face Told me I was destined for greatness That I would do better than you So a**ured in your statements and words of what I'd do Now I'm sitting here wondering if they're true Look at your son the rapper Wanted to be a lawyer Heard an Eminem song That "When I'm Gone", new chapter Started writing these rhymes Saved the homework for after Crafted my own style Til I finally became a master And now I have a question But right before you answer I wanna say "I love you", I never say it enough You're the reason I'm here, you made me smart and tough You suffered everything for me whenever things would get rough and I Can't begin to express how I'm so thankful to be Your child and all I want is to be able to see your smile If I succeed I fully owe it to you Playing music all the time, mom, you nurtured these roots And you did the best that you could on your own Thanks to you I never felt too alone But back to the question I know you never doubted me Well this is what I'm destined for I hope you're proud of me
