Proud Of Us

(album: uhhh 2 - 2022)

Pray for the days that our mothers could be proud of us
Hold on to your love, 'cause this life can take it out of ya
Faith keeps you straight on the days it's not so obvious
Some would say it's energy
Some say it's the God in us
I don't really care about the book you chose to read
'Cause the only thing that matters is the message was received
Staying away from the things that only bother us
I don't gotta rush

Off in an Uber, the ride ain't that smooth, yeah, I'm so awake
Before I make my ascent and I have to repent at the Pearly Gates
I want my momma to say, "That's my son" watch me shine like I light the globe
I want my father to say I was right, man, I wish that they got along
I wish they got along
But I pray for the day that I ain't just my head
Got my weight in solid gold and I ain't holding no regrets
If I fail, at least I tried, that's way more than some could say
What's important's not the fortune, but not forfeiting from the game, so I

Pray for the days that our mothers could be proud of us
Hold on to your love, 'cause this life can take it out of ya
Faith keeps you straight on the days it's not so obvious
Some would say it's energy
Some say it's the God in us
I don't really care about the book you chose to read
'Cause the only thing that matters is the message was received
Staying away from the things that only bother us
I don't gotta rush

Pray for the day
I won't cry no more
On my phone, I'm just home eating Domino's
Life's is so bizarre, tryna learn new things that I don't know
Reading books on audio
Don't wanna swim in this pond no more, hey
I heard a voice in my soul
Don't got a guide, I'm my own
Learning to take time with mine
Funny the pain don't seem so
Far from safety
In hindsight, is obvious
Staring at the top until it's finally us

Pray for the days that our mothers could be proud of us
Hold on to your love, 'cause this life can take it out of ya
Faith keeps you straight on the days it's not so obvious
Some would say it's energy
Some say it's the God in us
I don't really care about the book you chose to read
'Cause the only thing that matters is the message was received
Staying away from the things that only bother us
I don't gotta rush
