Prompt / Lyrics
Make This Time About Growth Verse 1 Anthony, baby, you don’t bother me — that’s why I still answer Even when my heart feels heavy and torn I just wish we’d talk about the real things About the hurt, about the healing, about being reborn You try to ease the pain with little distractions But that’s not healing, that’s just passing time I lost your brother, and that wound still bleeds And I can’t lose you too while you’re still alive Chorus Anthony, feed your mind and your spirit Open that heart — boy, I know you can feel it Make this time about growth, not survival You were born for more than just revival Every tear you cry is watering life Grow, my son… grow into your light Verse 2 Anthony, I see how that money slips through your fingers But it’s not the dollar, it’s what it represents You keep spending like I’ll always be here to fix it But baby, I’m praying you learn your own strength Jail don’t define you, it refines you If you let it make you wiser inside Don’t just count the days, make the days count Build the man your children can recognize Chorus Anthony, feed your mind and your spirit Read a book, write your truth, I know you can live it Make this time about growth, not survival You were born for more than just revival Every tear you cry is watering life Grow, my son… grow into your light Bridge Anthony, your babies are waiting on your comeback They don’t need the pain, they need the promise You’re more than the choices you made before There’s royalty in your blood — rise and honor it You carry Ke’s courage inside you That same fire that wouldn’t quit You survived trying to save him — that means something That means God still has plans for you yet Verse 3 I’m grateful, my son — you’re still breathing And I can’t wait for the day you walk free But when those gates open, walk like a king Walk like the man you were born to be Your bloodlines are rich, your roots are royal You come from warriors, dreamers, and grace You owe it to yourself and to the ones before you To lift your head high and take your rightful place Final Chorus Anthony, feed your mind and your spirit Rise again, boy, I know you can feel it Make this time about growth, not survival You were born for divine revival Every tear you cry is watering life Grow, my son… grow into your light Outro (Spoken softly) Anthony… my son… You are meant for more. You are meant for peace. You are meant for greatness. And I’ll be right here… Praying you grow into your light.
