Lời bài hát Memory Lane (feat. Mom, Stacy Barthe & Marquis Rachad)
Out of the abundance of the heart
The mouth speaks
We are so proud of you, Ro
Dad and I
How glorious are the feat of those
Who bring good tidings
From your mother's womb
You were chosen to speak to many generations
Yeah
I got this two door coupe
And this brownstone stoop
In my bank account, there's a parachute
And the amount big enough if this ***
Don't work out
It's clean
But I got it from the dirt now
Off to college, '06
Selling mixtapes out the dorm
In Mazda, no tints
With a *** that keep me warm
I was broke as ***
Tryna pass classes
Me, I'm on the L
To the city tryna cash in
In the Chi', I was never shy
No, I ain't had
But I was still that guy
Twenty-three below out in front of GCI
Tryna get my *** some plays
Spread my wings so I could fly
Graduated, but still tryna make it
Gotta make these ends meet
But my pockets naked
I can't take it
Then my mans
He told me I should audition
Because time in front the camera
Might help me make a living
So I did it
Didn't know if I would get it
But I walked off in that room
And I read a couple sentences
God was in there with me
All I had to do was finish it
Went in for commercial
And I came out with a meal ticket
No acting class in my past
But I still get it
Wasn't looking for a lick
But I still hit it
God showed me the light when I was lost
Gotta shoutout Kelsey Grammer
He helped make me a boss
I took off
Ooh
I had to choose
Whether to win or lose
And look at what it turned into, yeah
Look at what it turned into, yeah
Look at what it turned into
Show cancelled, so I'm headed to Atlanta
No whip
But I'm dreaming 'bout a Phantom
Came up so fast
Didn't think that we would lose it
That fell through
Guess it's back to the music
Then I met my *** Quise back in 2012
We was both young dreamers
Tryna figure out ourselves
Came across James Foye
Now he better known as Keyz
That's my *** forever
We did some *** you can't believe, yeah
2014, we had a crib, it was a vibe
We ain't had no furniture
But still was sitting high
Hookah on the coffee table
Chinese food and bottles
Way before the 'Gram
We was bagging Insta' models
I'm not a gambling man
But had to bet on myself
Booked a flight to LA
I was in debt to myself
Hoping that when it's over
I'd have a story to tell
I should be in the W
But I'm in the motel
For three weeks straight
All that I could do was wait
And keep my faith
Thank God it was free to pray
Phone ringing
I hopped straight up out the shower
And they said
Congratulations, Ro
We want you for Power
I took off
Congratulations, we want you for Power
Took off
Phone ringing
I hopped straight up out the shower
I took off
Ooh
I had to choose
Whether to win or lose
And look at what it turned into, yeah
Look at what it turned into, yeah
Look at what it turned into
He asked you to be faithful in His mercy
Told you to praise Him
We remember you singing
Higher Ground in our little church
One line in that song reads
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground
God has been with you
Through the maze of your life's journey
It hasn't always been easy, you know
You had full exuberance
And through it all, God has been faithful
Allowing you to stop and take stock
So, real realize destiny
Your journey from Columbia High to West
Northwestern, to manhood
Is gloriously unfolding new heights
We are grateful to the most high
Who is forever faithful and true
Dad and I are so incredibly proud of you
Soar like the eagle you are
Roar like the lion you were made to be
You will humbly serve, with wisdom, your God
I had to choose
I took off
