[Hook]
AmA bird with the word came to me
The Dsweetness of a honeycomb tree
And Cnow I look what's taking over me
Couldn't Cfake it if I wanted to
I had to F7wake up just to make it through
I got my F7patience and I'm making do
I learned my D7lessons from the ancient roots
I choose to fD7ollow what the greatest do
A Ambird with the word came to me
The Dsweetness of a honeycomb tree
And Cnow I look what's taking over me
Couldn't Cfake it if I wanted to
I had to F7wake up just to make it through
I got my F7patience and I'm making do
I learned my D7lessons from the ancient roots
I choose to D7follow what the greatest do
[Verse 1]
I'm repping for the Clongest cycle, mmm
My uncles had to Cpay the cost, mmm
My sister used to C/Asing to Whitney, mmm
My mama caught the C/Agambling bug, mmm
We came up in a F7lonely castle, mmm
My papa was F7behind them bars, mmm
We never had to D7want for nothing, mmm
Said all we ever D7need is love, mmm
We see the Amsame things
We sing the Dsame songs
We feel the Csame grief
Bleed the Csame blood
You grew up in the Fhome beside me
I always had a F7friend to call
How could I make it Dm7here without you? Mmm
I pray I leave Dm7before you're gone

[Outro]
Hey, my little youth is Ccrying
I'm almost Chome, almost home
Up North with thC/Ae Mayans, mmm
Working my C/Afingers to the bone
See I do the F7best I can, mmm
Mama was a F7farmer, mmm
Papa was a D7goner, mmm
