[Intro – spoken / filtered] I miss you every day. But we’re still here. Mom’s still standing… And your grandson’s growing up. [Verse 1 – rap] Four years gone, yeah it still feels raw Same house, same halls, just one less voice Mom stays strong even when it hurts I see the weight she carries, I see the work she puts in through the pain Had to stand taller than I ever planned Had to learn how to be a stronger man Your lessons still echo inside these walls Every picture feels like you still call I do my part, I handle my lane Try to keep peace, try to manage the pain I ain’t perfect, but I’m doing my best Trying to honor your name in my chest [Pre-Chorus – half sung] Even when the nights feel heavy and long I remember I’m not alone [Chorus – melodic rock] I’ll take it from here, you don’t gotta worry We’re still holding on even when it’s heavy Some days the weight is too much to bear But I stand back up — I feel you there I miss you bad, yeah it cuts so deep But your strength still lives in the family This pain won’t break us, I swear it won’t I’ll take it from here… just like you showed [Verse 2 – rap (CJ focus)] CJ laughs and the room feels alive Same look in his eyes, I see you every time Every time he runs, every time he falls I hear your voice echo through these walls I tell him your stories, who you were How you loved, how you put family first When depression hits and I feel weak I look at him and find my feet I gotta be better, gotta stand tall Be the man he can lean on when times get hard Your blood in his veins, your heart in his chest Your legacy lives — and I’ll handle the rest [Bridge – breakdown / grit] I know you’d tell me “don’t let him see fear” “Teach him how to stand, be there, be clear” So I breathe through pain, I push through doubt For him, for mom — that’s what this is about [Bridge – scream] I’M STILL HERE I’M STILL TRYING [Chorus – heavier] I’ll take it from here, you don’t gotta worry We’re still standing tall even when it’s blurry Some days the weight is too much to bear But I stand back up — I feel you there I miss you bad, yeah it still hurts deep But your love lives on in the family This pain won’t break us, I swear it won’t I’ll take it from here… just like you showed [Outro – soft spoken] He knows your name. She’s not alone. And I promise you… I got it from here.

I’LL TAKE IT FROM HERE
