The lyrics touch on themes like personal growth, family relationships, the challenges of fame and success, confidence, self-assurance, determination, and personal empowerment
Despues takes the umbilical cord of feelings of obligation to be around things Despues doesn't accept, and cuts it with the scissors of personal empowerment. A warm piano sets the melody to reality-knocking drums and bass on this track to create a healing ambience to the track.
The lyrics nod to Despues' perseverance through the struggles of being an outcast in a Spiritual rap story that could only have come from above.
"I understand that every living person is capable of amazing things regardless of our circumstances," Despues declares. "I just feel that our ability to do such great things with our lives leads to something greater than the promise of death."
The same process of measuring impact following the passing of a person follows inevitably. So what beauties can we discover by collaborating and remaining dedicated to the current of our inclinations?
God promised.
lyrics
Here I go making flights
Out to Philly again
To see my lil bros
Find the real me again
I had fairly odd parents
Feel like Timmy again
Curses spreading generations
How I wish they would end
I ain’t tryna do the
Fake shit on Christmas again
That nigga Des over there
Being distant again
A man’s feelings misconstrued
By the women again…
It’s time for real love
That means stop gossiping
Watching people fake life
And call it reality
You can’t break a kid’s spirit
Only way time’s a thing
Is if I work hard
Then I can be a lot of things
I can’t talk back, okay
I figure I can sing
Daddy bought a mockingbird
With pure originality
Judged so hard
Why I’m critical on quality
Fucked up
They saying it’s dope, yeah but not to me
Focused on the future God promised me
As long as I walk truthfully and honestly
You follow them cause it’s movement that your eye can see
I’m helping them to get through, that’s why they follow me
Ma was jealous too she took a lot from me
So getting support from you means a lot to me
My music touched you? That shit wild to me
I’m drawing up the blueprint for my child to be
Touch my brothers love to see them grow
Tell me what you’re learning, how you living
Cause I need to know
Phones taking data from our children
What you mean you don’t?
You just call them brats like you don’t miss them
While you’re traveling and tricking
While they be at home
How you only social
In your DM, ho?
Still taking hours to reply
Like you don’t be on phone
Tryna get up out these family ties
Getting free my own
Getting to the prize
I ain't worried about what he be on
It’s too late to tell me sorry now
Everybody wants me at the party now
I be talking bout dreams with my shawty now
Hitting Cat, getting cozy playing Ari’s sound
If I was stuck in the past where would I be now
I be talking my shit with a potty mouth
Evil never wins, it’s just God be out
Shit, I’m plotting vacations to Mali now
I’m in Cali now
Wonder why I let you fuck my plans up
Pretending is cute, but to deal with it’s a hand some
Feeling like they holding up the peace for a ransom
They was foul to me and I still got the and-one
And some
The Devil is impulsive
So I plan fun
I’m on a mission, lost soul
No I can’t come
Getting back my rhythm, been a minute
So I dance some
Predecessors smiling
Got me feeling like a grandson
Touch my brothers love to see them grow
Tell me what you’re learning, how you living
Cause I need to know
Phones taking data from our children
What you mean you don’t?
You just call them brats like you don’t miss them
While you’re traveling and tricking
While they be at home
How you only social
In your DM, ho?
Still taking hours to reply
Like you don’t be on phone
Tryna get up out these family ties
Getting free my own
Getting to what’s mine
I ain't worried about what he be on
You know, god promised all this
And more
(and more, and more, and more)
And more, and more
And more, and more
And more, and more
And more, and more
And more, and more
And more, and more
And more, and more
And more
