It's been a minute since I've slowed down To see what's going on with ya Felt like it was just yesterday We were dreaming about us growing up Freestyles at your fam's place We were sneaking out the house and get faded Fifteen, acting crazy All we wanted from this life was to make it Now we're here Now, I'ma always have your back 'cause you have mine No matter where we're at, I'ma make time You should never feel like you took the backseat Anytime you need an ear, just hit my line Keep it one hundred You're my brother Through the ups and the downs I'ma love ya I'ma be there for you, you gon' be there for me You gon' always be my family Deeper than the ocean Thicker than your skin or my bones Deeper than devotion You're never out here on your own And you should already know There's no hesitation From the womb to the tomb I'ma keep whānau for you It's been a minute since I've talked to you Since you've found you far in love I ain't mad at you I'm so proud of the man you've become So young when your queen passed Ain't no fun when you gotta grow up so fast But my fam was your fam from the jump, bro I told you I had your back Now, I'ma always have your back 'cause you have mine No matter where we're at, I'ma make time You should never feel like you took the backseat Anytime you need an ear, just hit my line Keep it one hundred You're my brother Through the ups and the downs I'ma love ya I'ma be there for you, you gon' be there for me You gon' always be my family Deeper than the ocean Thicker than your skin or my bones Deeper than devotion You're never out here on your own And you should already know There's no hesitation From the womb to the tomb I'ma keep whānau for you That's my day one That's my rider
