(You, you)

I got a plan for you
I'll buy some land for you
You taught me how to walk
But I'll stand for you
You make mistakes like everybody else but you're my dad and you
You did an amazing job sir
You raised a man my dude

Mama had good taste when she picked you huh
You say
She felt strong as hell when she was with you huh
You wear your pride with your gratitude out and it fits you huh
Anyway I'm out here giving them hell man
Come and get your son

Hey man
If you appreciate iTaima lakho mfethu
It might be your mom
It might be your dad
If you appreciate your parents
If you love them if you're gratedul for that they did for you
This one's for you man

Pops
Hey look at what you did for me
Look at what you made bro
It's going down in history
You passed me all your humbleness even some of your chivalry
Taught me how to pray my way out of all my misery
Taught me how to keep my head high, but not medicinally

I still do it medicinally
You don't judge or belittle me
Thank you for your patience
Thanks for letting time tick with me

See, I'm grateful cause you taught m how to be
And I'm hoping that will stick with me
And if there's anything I do with all my pride
It's making you're your children eat
You gave us life man now it's time for us to let you live it up
Anything you wanna do pops call me and I could set it up

I'm proud of you pops
And I love you
I waited so long man and I worked so hard
Just to hear say is that you're proud of me
And you said it
And you meant it

That brought tears to my eyes bruh
So now I had to say It back to you
I'm proud of you
You raised us
You went through the most

You went through all the bullshit in the world
But you always made sure we had a roof over our heads
Clothes on our back
And food on our table
That's what makes you a man now
I'm proud of you

It's what you are
It's what you mean
Always stayed down
Always believed in me
And I wanna say thank you
Thank you for loving me

Through thick
Lose or win
I can always count on you
Til the end
And I wanna say thank you
Thank you for loving me
