[Verse 1]
I been sittin on this album for a calendar year
Never knowing if I'd ever put it out to be heard
So I thought about it, moving through the doubt and the fear
Just another mountain to clear before unlocking my words
Just a single song left on the list for me to author
A final goodbye to both my mother and my father
But I couldn’t find the words, so I sat stationary
With the letters barely progressing across the stationary
Wouldn’t have felt complete, so the album lay dormant
A playlist sittin without me pressing play on it
Then one day, it hit me that
My folks would be pissed if I were to sit with that
So I got my shit together 'cause my swagger
I knew I needed to get it back
Reminding the world and myself that I am that nigga (facts)
So bitch I’m back, 'cause hot shit is all my parents wanted me to make
And goddamnit I’m gonna give 'em that
[Chorus]
One time for my pops, diggin thru the crates
Lookin for the funk samples for the beats that I would make
Two times for ma dukes, rockin to my raps
While I’m cursin up a storm, sayin never hold back
Anytime I got some shit, I know I’ma have to go thru
I grin knowin that I’ma be guided by those two
So anyone who wonders how I push on without 'em both
Now you know
[Verse2]

Never knowing if I’d ever put it out or be heard
So I thought about it, moving through the doubt and the fear
Just another mountain to clear before unlocking my words
I got some songs I know for a fact my pops woulda loved
Some shit my moms would bump if it air dropped to her buds
I had a thought in 2021 makin a joint
That if I couldn’t let them hear it, fuck it, what is the point?
Came close to truly giving up
'Cause in that moment I promise I didn’t give a fuck
Everyday was a struggle of finding purpose
Failure and feeling worthless
Navigating through nothin but muck and constantly getting stuck
Took a lot to move past that
It’s still a challenge but at the end of the day
I’m glad that I realized it’d be a shame to sit wasting the gift
My folks gave me so bitch I’m back to makin these hits, nigga!
[Chorus]
One time for my pops, diggin thru the crates
Lookin for the funk samples for the beats that I would make
Two times for ma dukes, rockin to my raps
While I’m cursin up a storm, sayin never hold back
