Intro (low, spoken)
Yeah…
This for you.
Listen.
Hook (harmonized, dark R&B)
I been prayin’ every night for you,
Even when I don’t know what you goin’ through
World cold, don’t let it harden you,
I’ll take the weight if it start on you
If the streets start talkin’ loud,
Don’t let ‘em tell you who you ‘posed to be
Every scar I carry now—
That’s a warning sign, a note to read
Verse 1 (drill, controlled)
To my nephew—let me tell you this slow
Ain’t no glory in crashin’ for show
They gon’ dare you to prove you tough
Then disappear when it cost you the most
I seen loyalty turn seasonal
I seen love get transactional
I seen pride turn fatal too
So I’m sayin’ this intentional
You don’t gotta be the loudest one
Strength ain’t always in the trigger thumb
Real power move patient, calm
Walk away and still stand on somethin’
If you ever feel lost or small
Like nobody hearin’ your calls
Remember you come from a line of fighters
You built to stand tall when it all might fall
Hook (softer, layered)
I been prayin’ every night for you
Every lesson learned, I paid for you
If the world get heavy on your soul
Put it on my back, I’ll carry you
They don’t gotta love you,
Just be solid when they around you
You ain’t gotta be like them, nephew—
Just be real, that’s power too
Verse 2 (drill, deeper)
Ain’t no map for survivin’ pain
Ain’t no guide when you losin’ faith
You might smile but be hurt inside
Still gotta show up, still gotta be brave
Don’t let anger drive your moves
Don’t let numb be what you choose
Feel it all, learn from it
That’s how kings get bulletproof
Fast money come with slow funerals
Quick respect turn real mutable
Peace worth more than the image
And freedom priceless, that’s not debatable
If you fall, don’t stay down long
Stand back up, keep movin’ on
You my blood, you my future, you my proof
That the cycle don’t gotta live on
Bridge (R&B, airy)
If you ever feel invisible, I see you
If you ever think you not enough—you are
More than the doubt
More than the fear
More than the nights nobody there
Final Hook (full, emotional)
I been prayin’ every night for you
Even when I don’t know what to do for you
Every road I walked before you
I been clearin’ the path for you
If they try to break your soul
Don’t let ‘em take control
This a letter from my heart, nephew—
Just so you know
Outro (spoken)
No matter how old you get…
You still my nephew.
And I got you. Always.
