Reflections

[Verse 1] Reflecting on the past, wonder where I'd be right now If it wasn't for your guidance, I wouldn't have found my sound I wouldn't have found my way, I wouldn't have found my light Today would be a different day, I'd probably be a different sight You probably wondering, who am I talking about? I'm talking about my best friend, someone who holds me down I'm talking about the woman who took care of me When I was at my lowest and when I was at my peak I'm talking about my Mom, an angel in disguise I'm talking about the one who told me to reach for the skies And dream about stars, she told me "you'll go far You gotta get at it hard, put in work from the start And never let up, no matter what they say Cuz at the end of the day, you're the one that's gonna get paid" I'm doing this for you, I'm doing this for me I'm doing this for us, I'm proud to call you mommy [Hook] I gotta thank you mama, you've done a lot for me I know that it was hard raising a kid like me I just want to let you know that I appreciate it Your blood, sweat, tears, everything for us to make it You're always making miracles, every day A single mother providing for her kids in any way Mi mejor amiga, up until the very end You're a gift from above, I swear you're Heaven sent [Verse 2] We have our differences, I know they're plenty I know that we argue a lot, those are many But we're still together, the Dynamic Duo I tell you that I love you every day, but you know You led a hard life, it was plagued with sorrow All alone, no help, no hope for tomorrow You didn't want your kids to live without a father figure But there was no father in that man, go figure Living with a man who doesn't love you, likes to beat you Something that I can't imagine growing into either But you didn't need him then, you don't need him now You've done a great job with life and three kids in tow Siempre estoy aquí, nunca te dejare Siempre voy a soportar todo lo que quieras hacer I follow your example, yeah you taught me well I promise I'mma have your smile ringing like Christmas bells [Hook] [Bridge] Yeah Thank you for everything that you've done There is nothing in Heaven and Earth that I can do to repay you for everything that you've done for me But that doesn't mean that I can't try, right? [Verse 3] When I was sick, you told me chicken soup would do it Even now, you're making sure I don't do something stupid We've been through hard times, been through difficult positions We pulling miracles out the air for our condition Now that I'm older, it's about time I took care of you I'm talking about a lot more than just paying a bill or two Buy you jewelry, big house, fast cars You made me feel famous, I'll make you feel like a star I could have ended up like a lot of cold figures Pull triggers, dope dealer, became another hood figure But nah, I picked up the mic and I'mma be a rap hero So that nobody ever tells you that your son was a zero Spit so cold, two seventy below zero Grinding for those Roberts, I'm not talking De Niro Family my motivation, I'mma get my shine Cuz when I was younger, you told me that the world is mine [Hook]
