Lyrics
Yeah
I'm leaving tomorrow and me and mama in the kitchen
Her son a Hip-Hoppa and she trying to get the vision
She tell me she remember back when I was getting christened
How she helped me as a toddler back when I would never listen
She like, "Look at how far you come", bringing tear to my eye
We had our problems, but I love you, I'm here for the ride
You know it's hard for me, you know that I'm scared of goodbyes
Bittersweet, because I know you're preparing to fly
Me, I never flew, too afraid to swim
Closest that I came was when I used to hit the gym
I know your father feel the same
I tell you, Danny knew you making hit, it's why it's hard on you
It's 'cause he's living through you, I just want you to know
I pray a night to God, you're on the throne
You're leaving for Cali ten days, 'cause now you're grown
Just promise me you and your father call me on the phone
Ride or die from home, you are not alone
And my mama said, don't be scared, you can put your hands up
'Cause you gon' have the whole world on it right now
And one day, they gon' show you mad love
But you know you gon' always make me proud
Just don't forget who you are
Just don't forget who you are
Just go and get you a star
When you caught up in the money and the fame and the fancy cars
I called my mama in front of the room and then she answered me
I told her I just rocked the stage and all the fans for me
"They call you Dee, but Daniel, always just be Dan to me
And oh, the doctor called, they said I'm cancer-free"
In that moment you know your thinking is wrong
You take for granted the shit that you haven't until it's gone
The doctor found a pile, but it was hard for me to smile
Will she meet my kids? Will she get to walk me down the aisle?
Now I know she will (yeah)
And she assured me she ain't never leaving
She said that, "Dan, I know that you gon' be a legend breathing" (whoo)
I know you working hard, but I can't wait to get to see ya"
I'm gonna hug her 'til you barely breathing when I squeeze ya
And times when we fight, get you tight here
Sometimes this house ain't a dream, it's a nightmare
But I love you more than life with all my might, yeah
And I don't fight fair, but I'll be right there
And my mama said, don't be scared, you can put your hands up
'Cause you gon' have the whole world on it right now
And one day, they gon' show you mad love
But you know you gon' always make me proud
Just don't forget who you are
Just don't forget who you are
Just go and get you a star
When you caught up in the money and the fame and the fancy cars
