Rapper's Emotional Song About Grandma Passing Away Leaves His Mom In Tears

JOY Lyrics

VERSE 1

A mother’s embrace

The look on her face

The touch of her hand against your cheek

Pure joy

The sound of her voice

The look in her eyes

Reflection of love the first time

Pure joy

I saw the light in a newborn smile

That lit the path that would lead me out

So innocent

I hear the voices of children laugh

See hope in their future ahead

So innocent

So excited that they made it out

I know one day they’ll make it out

I hope one day that they make it out

I wonder if they ever made it out

⸻

VERSE 2

When they tell you, “Doubt your doubts,” I’ma doubt

Yeah

I’m everything designed to try to take you out

Yeah

I’m anxiety, depression, pain, and grief

I’m lurking in them shadows

I’m tangled in the weeds

I got everything you need—you can’t leave

I took root

I’m the truth

I’m the noose

One that make you think your joy was just a fluke

I’m the ceiling, I’m the roof

I’m the anchor at the bottom

I’m the one inside your head that said that you ain’t got no options

I’m your problems, I’m your shame

I’m everything you think you lack

All them ghosts that’s from your past

Of everything that’s coming back

And ain’t no stopping that

Okay

⸻

VERSE 3

Doubted my doubts, I’m destined to win

I come from the back of the pack

You could’ve took me out then or took me out then

You didn’t—I’m taking it back

I got that glory on me

It’s a aura on me

And it’s energy not to be matched

He put a bag on my head and called up the hittas

He sent ’em, I sent ’em right back

I think he wanted me dead
