Pryde - Rest of My Life lyrics

[Intro] Ma, this is for you This is for you You see that, it's for you [Verse 1] Last night I talked to you, but I heard nothing back This is nothing like the past, wish that I was less sad Last time I talked to you, you said you had my back And we would smile, we would laugh I have a life to live, and I cherish it too Cause lord knows if you walk this earth again it's exactly what you do You'll never leave my side, even though you're not here I can still feel your touch, I could feel you near Just know I'm on the move to make you proud I made a promise that I'll smile, like no tomorrow [Hook] I'll remember those years I'll cherish those days And if life is heavy Just lift all that weight from me The tears that you've cried They'll fall out my eyes And even if you're not around I'mma hold it down for the rest of my life [Verse 2] My hero was pa**ed on If you could try, you could probably fit my tears in a bathtub The fact that it's over - I hate hearing that word They bashed on you your whole life - those things you never deserved You weren't worried about me You told me that before you pa**ed Even if I got critics steady nagging me, I'll laugh Cause you never let sh** get to you, I wish I was like you You told me every single hater has a miserable life Mom, I was never around, and I felt like that mattered Been the worst son lately, I got my a** backwards Not looking for self pity; I just want to make you proud And even if you suffer crazy, I just hope you're looking down I thought d**h wasn't as certain I can't believe I woke up and lost a person that used to cut my hair when I was 8 The fact that it's too late The fact that you had stitches from these surgeries It hurt me and had me in constant breaks I hate it. Still, you smiled in pain Chemo k**ed off your spirits, but happy thoughts met your brain I would wait til' these days where they were sayin' it would be my mama's day You were almost close to pa**ing away I throw this cash all away I'd surrender it all Ain't no other woman mean more to me than my mom Yeah you did it, you did it I'm sorry I sound pitiful Sorry if I never hung out, when I ain't had sh** to do I'd focus on girls, mama, I'd focus on money But it's funny how these things got easily taken from me But you're always here, mama Cancer or not, we gon' meet again soon As these hands on the clock, go by I just wait until the day god has planned for me You'll grab my hand. hug me tight and stare back at me Dance with me, laugh with me, happily Because in heaven, ma, you're cancer-free, R.I.P [Hook] I'll remember those years I'll cherish those days And if life is heavy Just lift all that weight from me The tears that you've cried They'll fall out my eyes And even if you're not around I'mma hold it down for the rest of my life [Hook v2] When I close my eyes I wake up to the morning Wake up to another morning Wake up to the morning, and you're with me When I close my eyes I wake up to the morning Wake up to another morning and I'm gon' smile for the rest of my life
