Yeah, we gotta finish this off right, for mum and dad, being that place that I can turn to, yeah. cause we all need somewhere, we all need somewhere to go, we all need somewhere to go home to.I've never been rich and I've never been poorwhich I guess made me appreciate everything moreFor i've had a chance in a way to decideto mix with people from all different situations in lifeI saw the pros and cons and then rose beyond all the negatives of each sidethe way I speak might be a blatant display of the way I was raisedbut shit I'm proud of that and seeing as how i'm at this pointI wasn't raised up being refusedmy parents made a choice and gave me freedom to chose my own wayin a way knowing mistakes that might comeand I think because of that I've learned to make the right ones toonow my youth in all truth was a hard timeknowing there's a place where you fit in that you can't findhalf the time my mind felt so confidentI couldn't understand why half the time I felt the oppositeI just wanted to be somewhere in between in my head but instead I got the courage up to dreambecause my parents had awareness and they taught me that your own belief is essential to reach your potentialin fact to think of all the love you've given meand me rarely telling you how much it really meansI had to try and write a song so i could make it upand I could tell you all those things that I don't say enoughnow mum I gotta take a bit of timeSongtextecos I wanna say this right but I still gotta make it rhymeyou're way above any label I could give so ill just say it how it is, check it outfrom the very first moment I was bornit's like I've had a mum that was devoted to me more than herselfand not just that phase when you're youngI'm talkin' from that age all the way to 21I've been spoilt, and as hopeless as it isI didn't really notice as a kidbut now I'm grown and I know every sacrifice you made so our home was our own little paradise to stay,and later on working 60 hour weeksand still coming home to cook so you could sit us down to eatand through it all you never asked for any helpas if in some way you just expect it from yourselfso I just want you to know that I'm gratefulfor everything you've done and for everything to comeyou spent your life trying to illuminate my gloomnow i'll spend the rest of mine trying to do the same for youyou supported me in everythingI know that I can come and talk to you for anything and you'll understandand man you gotta know that the man that I've become is pretty simply cos I got to have you as my mumand dad, without you I woulda never made it throughcos i've emulated you since the tender age of 2, or maybe beforebut basically all I'm trying to say is that it made me who I am todayit's you who taught me how to have pride back when I was youngso now I'm proud to have a dad like thatyou stand up for what you thinkthat's why I do the samenow I've found a voice to try to make it changeyou saw through all the bullshitI've had my eyes open ever sinceI don't believe it just because they call it evidenceI've seen the benefit of having a dad who's not afraid to be affectionatethrough all the years that you've workedjust to provide for us and with every single dollar made you didn't get that holiday 'til this yearshit its easy to tell the type of dad you've been cos that speaks for itselfgrowing up you'd always come to my sport and show your love and supportso just one thing before I finish I just want you to know that meant a lotmy childhood had everything that I could ever want (cause of you)you gave me strength to be what I wanna be and see my life and what I wanted to achieveso from here on out, whatever happens over time in my lifeyou got a son that knows he can always come back home and feel better.cause we all need somewhere, we all need somewhere to go,cause we all need somewhere, we all need somewhere to go.
