Reflections Lyrics by Jay Young

The Architect EP

0

[Verse 1]
Reflecting on the past, wonder where I'd be right now
If it wasn't for your guidance, I wouldn't have found my sound
I wouldn't have found my way, I wouldn't have found my light
Today would be a different day, I'd probably be a different sight
You probably wondering, who am I talking about?
I'm talking about my best friend, someone who holds me down
I'm talking about the woman who took care of me
When I was at my lowest and when I was at my peak
I'm talking about my Mom, an angel in disguise
I'm talking about the one who told me to reach for the skies
And dream about stars, she told me "you'll go far
You gotta get at it hard, put in work from the start
And never let up, no matter what they say
Cuz at the end of the day, you're the one that's gonna get paid"
I'm doing this for you, I'm doing this for me
I'm doing this for us, I'm proud to call you mommy
[Hook]
I gotta thank you mama, you've done a lot for me
I know that it was hard raising a kid like me
I just want to let you know that I appreciate it
Your blood, sweat, tears, everything for us to make it
You're always making miracles, every day
A single mother providing for her kids in any way
Mi mejor amiga, up until the very end
You're a gift from above, I swear you're Heaven sent
[Verse 2]
We have our differences, I know they're plenty
I know that we argue a lot, those are many
But we're still together, the Dynamic Duo
I tell you that I love you every day, but you know
You led a hard life, it was plagued with sorrow
All alone, no help, no hope for tomorrow
You didn't want your kids to live without a father figure
But there was no father in that man, go figure
Living with a man who doesn't love you, likes to beat you
Something that I can't imagine growing into either
But you didn't need him then, you don't need him now
You've done a great job with life and three kids in tow
Siempre estoy aquí, nunca te dejare
Siempre voy a soportar todo lo que quieras hacer
I follow your example, yeah you taught me well
I promise I'mma have your smile ringing like Christmas bells
[Hook]
[Bridge]
Yeah
Thank you for everything that you've done
There is nothing in Heaven and Earth that I can do to repay you for everything that you've done for me
But that doesn't mean that I can't try, right?
[Verse 3]
When I was sick, you told me chicken soup would do it
Even now, you're making sure I don't do something stupid
We've been through hard times, been through difficult positions
We pulling miracles out the air for our condition
Now that I'm older, it's about time I took care of you
I'm talking about a lot more than just paying a bill or two
Buy you jewelry, big house, fast cars
You made me feel famous, I'll make you feel like a star
I could have ended up like a lot of cold figures
Pull triggers, dope dealer, became another hood figure
But nah, I picked up the mic and I'mma be a rap hero
So that nobody ever tells you that your son was a zero
Spit so cold, two seventy below zero
Grinding for those Roberts, I'm not talking De Niro
Family my motivation, I'mma get my shine
Cuz when I was younger, you told me that the world is mine
[Hook]
