To my sister Maggie Rose/
I'm glad we've gotten closer and our momma says it shows/
Our family had some trials where it seems we'd fall apart/
but I wanna tell you now (with all my heart)/
that I'll be around, as a brother or friend
whichever one you need me as, since you and I are seeing past
only being half siblings, you're my sis'/
I'll fully love til' the end. Don't ever hesistate to call/
or send a text to my line, I promise you and guarantee/
you'll always get a reply, brightest smartest coolest little woman/
helping me thrive, and also keeping me inspired/
that's what's getting me by, I love ya (with all my heart)/
I'm showing love to your father too/
Calling you my step-dad, I don't bother to/
From day one you've seen me like I am your son/
then patiently earned my respect that in time would be won/
Our relationship was rocky when it might've begun/
to now honored as a father with the breath inside of my lungs/
It's been, quite a lot of ups and downs/
but I'm glad we've come together and, turned that right around/
From fighting everyday making weight that added pressure/
To pouring you a glass of wine and breaking bread together/
And you know how it go, two halves make a whole/
and I'm glad to have you both in a place I call home/

Thanks to the people who are my friends/
My mother says the same, her gratitude she extends/
I live, quite a far distance from a place where she can help me/
but she thanks you all with all her heart for keeping me so healthy/
I used to walk a path always alone/
wandering to a destination that was always unknown/
A vagabond without a purpose in this land I would roam/
but now I found a group of people who have welcomed me home/
Whether on the mats or life they help me up when I fall/
It's 2017 and they pick up when I call/
Who does that? Just the best people I know/
that I hope to keep inside in my heart and, deep in my soul/
And if you need me I will come to your side/
I'll do what I can for ones that I trust with my life/
And Mark Steez, I can't thank you enough/
You helped to push me toward this music when times became rough/
I live in a city where it's hard to be hard/
but you supplied the beats that gave voice to all of these words/
I also wanna thank you for the patience you kept/
A year longer than we planned, but I have no regrets/
We did it, it's finished, this album is done/
Thanks for helping ease my stress, I can finally move on/
Live a life where I've found myself happy and free/
I'm grateful for everything that's ever happened to me/




I almost forgot about you/
Which is so me, and is so you, too/
I haven't always treated you kind/
I take it out on you when I have a lot of things on my mind/
And I'm sorry, for all that I've said/
and all that I've done, they're my only regrets/
I hope you find time to maybe listen to this later/
You never liked my voice so if you don't then I don't blame ya/
But, just know, that these words that I wrote for you/
were grown from the ground soil then grew and I'm so loyal,/
To you, you recognized, I needed help
then nurtured what I left inside, the self hate and guilt/
both those things you've rectified, and now I can say/
I'm stronger than I've ever been. and all because you spent your time/
to help me stand up and get back on my feet/
I thank you, and when I thank you and I thank me/
