How many people keep running their mouth

Not listening to the thing they be talking about

He who has ears let them hear so they can make it clear

But instead they keep running their mouth

How many times I have to live this life

Watch both of my parents making sacrifice

They turned nothing into something

They did what they had to do just to make my moments right

I never thought that I can barely afford

The jordans I had when I would drive to the board

Just for one night to make a swish

To get a couple assist

Just to see you back mopping up floors

I never had the time to think that we was broke

Except from friends I had always cracking jokes

It brought years of many fears

I read my bible cause it brought me days of better hope

I haven't smiled and it been a minute

I hope one day I smile before my days are finished

I haven't smiled and it been a minute

I hope one day I smile before my days are finished

Look I ain't playing my God there's no excuse

I just do what I do and that's universal truth

Love thy neighbor

Honor the highly favor

Mind my business get back to the booth

What's the reason your mean what's the worth

Do you value life or covered in the dirt

What I'm making it's longer than creating

I'm building generational worth

But first Imma break this generational curse

Honor my ancestor that lay in the dirt

It ain't gone be easy

The worse days are beneath me

Change gotta start with me first

Maybe there's a reason that I lived this life

Watch both of my parents making sacrifice

So I can earn from the lesson done I learned

It's my turn to make every single moment right

I haven't smiled and it been a minute

I hope one day I smile before my days are finished

I haven't smiled and it been a minute

I hope one day I smile before my days are finished
