[00:02.84]My live have been like
[00:03.80]One long journey filled with a lot of ups
[00:06.18]And definitely a lot of downs
[00:08.23]Check it
[00:10.01]I dedicate this verse here to my grandfather
[00:13.85]Who passed away earlier this year
[00:16.35]At his funeral I ran threw a box full of tissues
[00:18.68]My tears are dry but I still miss you
[00:22.05]And I promise I will never forget you
[00:24.74]These last six bars just made it offical
[00:27.48]Yeah I know he can hear me
[00:29.56]Even though he don't speak English
[00:31.46]He can understand clearly
[00:33.36]What his grandson is trying to express
[00:35.77]It's tough but I'm trying my best
[00:38.53]I remember as a kid just running with him
[00:41.42]Every year I'll spend a whole summer with him
[00:44.25]Visited him in the projects
[00:46.18]And he knew I was interred by them
[00:48.36]Shiny objects cutting a Rolex
[00:50.34]Out of magazine ads tell me

[00:54.89]So much energy like me quite clever
[00:57.68]These are memories I will treasure forever
[01:00.17]Every now and then I still sheld a tear
[01:02.75]Walking through Chinatown
[01:04.31]I feel his spirit in the air
[01:05.86]For your legacy I go harder
[01:07.49]Tell my kids that your great grandfather was a great grandfather
[01:11.37]But let me walk you to this timeline take you back to my pops
[01:15.46]And moms grind they both immaganted to this country as teenagers
[01:19.63]You know tropical American dream chasers
