[Intro: D Smoke & BJ The Chicago Kid]
Hey, I'm so proud of you
I've watched you grow before my eyes
I'm so proud of who you are (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Keep going, you're strong (Oh-oh)
I'm proud of you
Sup', ayy, mm
[Verse 1: D Smoke]
When dreams awake you 'fore the sun rise
Best lean into it like a kiss on the cheek
I been thinkin', how do I breathe and drive a seat when I got strong ties?
I speak my peace and say prayers, I see the things that ain't there
My fam' relies on me, spider, got many eyes on me
I done gave up a decadе ago
I there was a eyеin' team, I am fiendin' for higher desires
Meanin' let's build the empire
Trees castin' shadows on waters, pathways to sit 'round the fire
Tellin' stories 'bout kush and love, how we pushed and tugged
I used to think I could hide my dirt 'til we flipped the rug
Prefer my liquor light brown, pour it and sip it up
She said I'm fly, I told her zip it up when she finish
The plight of our flesh could never diminish
The height of our best, we was created in His image
We made it to the day when our dreams are in plena vision
Where every destino is a beginnin', that's why I mention
[Chorus: BJ The Chicago Kid & D Smoke]
Oh, woah-woah-woah-woah (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm proud (I'm proud of you)
Everything you say and do (Sometimes you need to hear it)
Yeah, I been watchin' you
And oh, woah-woah (I say, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm so proud of you (I'm proud of you)
You did that, you is that (I'm so proud of you)
You win that, you get that
I only wish you knew
[Verse 2: D Smoke & BJ The Chicago Kid]
Slept on the couch of your family house
Tupperware dishes, a plastic spoon for your carry out
Life spin in circles, let's stop the motor, this merry-go-round
Got me real dizzy, boozy, and queasy, must let it out (Spit it out!)
Medicine smokin' token, that blunt, got no Medi-Cal
I'm Betty's child, them old remedies keep me steady, wow
That's why today, you keep my number on that ready dial
Been there before when I stared at the door like—
When there's opportunity, opportunity, o-o-opportunity knockin' (Oh, yeah)
Feelin' like I'm soon to expire
Am I too prune to be plumin' 'round with these grapes?
I been raisin' my family higher
Heard grace will be sure to test your desire
The race is not given
No, no, no to the swift, my nigga
And life is still a gift, my nigga, that's why I'm rappin' it
So we could package it and give it back to those who need it
So when I say these words, better believe it
Because I mean it when I say
[Chorus: BJ The Chicago Kid & D Smoke]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, woah (I'm proud of you)
I'm proud of you, everything you say and do
What up, young bro?
I been watchin' you, baby (Yeah, baby)
I just want you to know I've been thinkin' about you
I'm so proud (I'm proud of you), so proud of you (So proud)
I hope all is well with you, I'm proud of you
So proud of you
[Outro: BJ The Chicago Kid]
Only if you mean it, tell somebody
And to the homie, I'm proud of you for stayin' focused, determined, and willing to complete the mission at hand
Good job
I'm proud of you (I'm proud of you)
I'm proud of you (So proud of you)
I'm proud of you
Only if you mean it, tell somebody (So proud of you)
I'm proud of you (So proud of you)
Every time I think about all that you've overcome and the great person that you are, I am so proud of you
Oh, woah (Oh, woah)
I'm proud of you
