"So that's why you have to keep on going, my dad used to say to me all the time, son, you only fail when you stop!"

Two lovers came here from Jamaica

They raise a family

Couple acres

My grandma's good, she's a care taker

My granddad works hard for his paper

They had a vision, had a mission

Now there's 5 kids all in the kitchen

The first division

In the kitchen

Up in the kitchen

He said it with doubt

But then he raised up

Forever I'm proud

Cause look he stayed up

He said it with doubt

But then he raised up

Then he raised up

He used to have them waves under the duey

I know he wished his momma asked for help

He missed his daddy all the things he'd tell

The things he'd tell

Misunderstood, he's come accustomed

So many people he should cuss 'em out

I know my papa, he's a man of wealth

A man of wealth

He said it with doubt

But then he raised up

Forever I'm proud

Cause look he stayed up

He said it with doubt

But then he raised up

Then he raised up

He said it with doubt

But then he raised up

Forever I'm proud

Cause look he stayed up

He said it with doubt

But then he raised up

Then he raised up

There was a day where we had nothing

Cold in the house

Yeah he was struggling

Hard for a black man and a father

Yeah he was taught to hold all that stuff in

I know a saint, I know a sinner

Late in the night, he'd cook me dinner

He raised a daughter like a winner

Cause he's a winner

He said it with doubt

But then he raised up

Forever I'm proud

Cause look he stayed up

He said it with doubt

But then he raised up

Then he raised up

He said it with doubt

But then he raised up

Forever I'm proud

Cause look he stayed up

He said it with doubt

But then he raised up

Then he raised up

He said it with doubt

But then he raised up forever I'm proud

Cause look he stayed up

He said it with doubt

But then he raised up

Then he raised up
