up and down, down and up, inside out till my time is up
so hard I've worked to get here, but couldn't have done it with out you...
the faces I remember, racing JAN. to DEC., places 思い出す
I'll be thinking of you
When I was just a kid, I had low self esteem,
long story till I became a microphone fiend it wasn't easy being a Japanese/American,
fools at school tried to remind me that I'm different, but mom you
used to tell me to “keep your head up, be proud of who you are never
till your head down. when looking down becomes a habit, your gonna
miss a lot of beautiful things that happen around you”
and it's true, all the words you gave me made me who I am today and
I appreciate the love you had for me that's deeper than the ocean,
you believed me like “I know he can!” blessed to be your son,
no doubt your ichi-ban! , with no comparison cause mama your the one who
raised me through out the drama, I'll do the same one day when you become a grandma
up and down, down and up, inside out till my time is up
so hard I've worked to get here, but couldn't done it with out you...
the faces I remember racing JAN. to DEC. places 思い出す
I'll be thinking of you
I close my eyes and remember back in the day, I used to dream of being where I am today.
things aren't always what they seem on the out side,
“can't keep running away” said the Pharcyde, stand still, take it like a man,
being responsible is part of the plan, if each choice I make defines who I am,
I'll need to think about who I represent, to all you who
supported me through out the hard times, I'll never forget you,
and it's my time to do the same, don't be ashamed with or with out what
ever the circumstance, even an avalanche can't brake the trust we have,
give me a call and I would hop on a cab to be by your side,
provide you the comfort, you can rely on me I'll give you the answer
no matter where you are, you'll be in my heart, for all the times
you've been there, giving me your love and care...
it's a part of me and I'ma take it to the top, there are certain
things in life that can't be forgot...
when things got hard and hope had to leave me cause it wasn't all easy,
but you always believed in me and I thank you
when things got hard and hope had to leave me cause it wasn't all easy,
but you always believed in me
up and down, down and up, inside out till my time is up
so hard I've worked to get here, but couldn't done it with out you...
