Aye youngin, Come here read this newspaper Muppets owed me favors Gap and polo was my tailors I was only 2 years young pissing Huggies was my capers Since I learned to hold my neck up straight I kept a fresh taper I was jubilant n innocent didn't know my intellect I hadn't seen no prejudice hasn't felt no titties yet Hadn't smoked no marijuana hadn't sipped no liquor yet But 'fore I learned to spell respect I knew how to give respect Mom Mom in the kitchen wit them salmon bones them collard greens Mommy on the Mac n cheese that kitchen smelling heavenly Daddy out getting his hustle on so the fam can eat When they see they youngin now I know damn well they proud of me Lived my teen years pre pubescent, crazy all the shit I seen Lived my twenties adolescent, soon ima be elderly The village raised the child I'm so thankful for my family I vow to not forsake or ever take y'all ass for granted B Family over everything Made sure I had support in everything I ever faced Family over everything Gave me love gave me grace Kept me warm kept me safe Family over everything Showered me wit lots of game held me down through all the pain Family over everything Nothing come before my name I'm puttin on for home base I was at my Poppop crib schemin on the chess board Remember he would school my ass at losing I was real sore Always used to move too fast not analyze my next move He was teaching real life lessons showed me how to think it through I was clever but oblivious was shit I had to learn still Momma made sure of it, gifts I had to earn still Momma kept a strong head instilled in me a stern willl Its explanations and apologies I never heard still Cousins in and outta prison kept them packs of powder on em Knuckleheads niggas my pops tried to drop some knowledge on em Told me always stay in school made me make a promise to him Taught me structure gave me rules yea I owe my honor to him Nana in the kitchen Whipp in up some sweet potato pie Grandmom got the chicken wondering if she'll barbecue or fry Sittin in this living room just thinking bout how blessed I be Minnie and Jimmy y'all forever in my memory Family over everything Made sure I had support in everything I ever faced Family over everything Gave me love gave me grace Kept me warm kept me safe Family over everything Showered me wit lots of game held me down through all the pain Family over everything Nothing come before my name I'm puttin on for home base Nay and Jaelyn know I love ya, Mom and Pop y'all seen me struggle All my close and distant cousins all my aunties all my uncles You been a part of this journey even when I wasn't worthy When I felt my voice was insignificant you always heard me Got nostalgic writing this one almost dropped a lil tear Thinking bout all the reunions ones I wished was still here That's my big cousin Matt, Uncle Lonie Aunt Sabrina Always keep y'all spirit with me know one day again I'll see ya If my parents could depend on ya know you had a part in this So ima lift my pen for ya, Ima put my heart in this Plenty black excellence and wisdom in this family tree Taught me love and gratitude y'all really made a man of me When they see me now, I say look at what the village raised When you see me smile, know you lookin at the village face I'm repping for the people in my village every single day I'm finna pave a new road and call that shit the village way Family over everything Made sure I had support in everything I ever faced Family over everything Gave me love gave me grace Kept me warm kept me safe Family over everything Showered me wit lots of game held me down through all the pain Family over everything Nothing come before my name I'm puttin on for home base
