Verse 1:

For all of my talk about winnin /

I’m sittin here with the biggest loss in my inners /

This hole in my center /

My Dad’s gone, n I’m fillin it with the weight of the world /

…I need a place on the earth /

It’s takin a turn, I hate to submerge while the world waits /

I’m wading through this world with an anchor on my ankles /

I feel my answers waning /

Looking forward to the day where I’m waving at the world like, bye /

What’s the value of time, I used to say it was mine /

Now I know that it’s borrowed, no less /

But if I never had it, it was granted by Dad /

Whose best, legacy was makin me feel immortal, divine /

Took a place in the stars you’re soarin up high /

I’m a product of immigrants /

Of American dreams and American lies /

Of ice shoulders and eye rolls /

Of ice veins and stayin alive /

Dad was broke but he never made me feel poor /

Gave me everything but always made me see more /

Showed the way by getting anything he reached for /

Had to make sure, I would always be more /

Yes you made it, a state of greatness /

Never jaded, complacent /

Clomb the ladder, even shakin /

Door opener…elevated /

Not just me, my family /

People overseas indebted to you /

Didn’t exit existence, cause you left us a blueprint, now your story continues /

Every day I reminisce on everything that we’ve been through /

Pray we’ll have a coffee n talk /

On all the ball and stocks, in heaven’s milieu /

Control is an illusion, elusive /

You knew this /

You’re my fuel, my proof that nothin is finite…but it’s fluid /

These are the words I never wanted to write /

The job I never wanted to have /

But if I must, then I shall /

If I must, then I shall
