Lyrics

[Verse 1] I probably never told you before so I wanted to say How much I love, respect and appreciate the way you Raised me, kept me safe and praised me Even when I didn't behave and I made you crazy And not a day passed you didn't pop in my mind And I would stop by at the drop of a dime And the first thing I'd do as soon as I step in the crib Is get a hug and a kiss, stick my head in the fridge But you see, the food's an excuse, I use my hunger As a reason to visit but what I seek is the comfort I feel in your presence, exquisite calming peace I escaped the vivid drama of the streets [Bridge] My grandparents didn't care how healthy or how rich I was Didn't care how healthy or how sick I was Didn't care if I was a square or a Cripped out thug I never left the house without love [Chorus] Grandparents Tried hard to make 'em proud, did my best at least As a child, all they wanted was the best for me When I die and my breath cease, I hope I'm blessed to be In your presence again, 'til then, rest in peace Grandparents Tried hard to make 'em proud, did my best at least As a child, all they wanted was the best for me When I die and my breath cease, I hope I'm blessed to be In your presence again, 'til then, rest in peace [Verse 2] Grandma, I swear to God, ever since you died It's been a hole in my soul where you used to reside Hold on, be strong, the truth is I tried I was refusing to cry due to my youth and my pride Reminiscing 'bout the days you used to hold me close And the way you'd glow when you used to catch the holy ghost Clap your hands, do your dance to some Marvin Gaye It's necessary though it's hard to say, now let us pray I want the whole world to know that you not forgotten Love you with all my heart, from top to bottom Talking to everybody, mother, sons, daughters and fathers Better cherish your grandparents, thank God that you got 'em [Chorus] I tried hard to make 'em proud, did my best at least As a child, all they wanted was the best for me When I die and my breath cease, I hope I'm blessed to be In your presence again, 'til then, rest in peace Grandparents Tried hard to make 'em proud, did my best at least As a child, all they wanted was the best for me When I die and my breath cease, I hope I'm blessed to be In your presence again, 'til then, rest in peace [Verse 3] When mom was having problems, man, it was wild, serious Forget the grand, it was like I was your child, period You stepped in, took raising a child serious I didn't understand, I was just a child, curious But now that I'm a man, I could see your sacrifice You should've been retired, instead, you barely had a life Should've been inspired, taking vacations happily Instead, the only traveling you did was chasing after me But you never complained, it never was strained Our relationship was solid and it never would change Even when I was wrong, you never would blame You just supported me, simple and plain [Bridge] My grandparents didn't care how healthy or how rich I was Didn't care how healthy or how sick I was Didn't care if I was a square or a Cripped out thug I never left the house without love [Chorus] Grandparents Tried hard to make 'em proud, did my best at least As a child, all they wanted was the best for me When I die and my breath cease, I hope I'm blessed to be In your presence again, 'til then, rest in peace Grandparents Tried hard to make 'em proud, did my best at least As a child, all they wanted was the best for me When I die and my breath cease, I hope I'm blessed to be In your presence again, 'til then, rest in peace
