LADY D
Chasing Dreams, Embracing Change: A Musical Journey of Family and Growth
Lyrics
I know
Expressing awareness or acknowledgment
I'm seeming different, but social distancing kicking ass
Feeling different due to the impact of social distancing
And I couldn't make the bell like I was skipping class
Unable to meet expectations, drawing a parallel to skipping class
Speaking of classes, reminiscing of when you would get mad
Reflecting on past conflicts related to academic performance
At the fact I was a failure and my brothers would just sit and laugh
Recalling moments of failure and teasing by siblings
I know you probably thinking that I forgot you, but never
Assuring that the connection is not forgotten
Cause there would never be a better to say that they had me
Acknowledging a unique bond, emphasizing irreplaceability
See i'll admit that I've been ghosting all of my damn family
Admitting to distancing oneself from family due to pursuing dreams
But it's because I'm chasing dreams and goals to make me happy
Justifying the absence by the pursuit of personal happiness
See it's because I need the money to start me a family
Linking financial success to the aspiration of starting a family
I'm trying to give you a baby so you can meet my family
Expressing the desire to provide for family and introduce a child
I'm getting flustered just thinking about how your weekend's panning
Feeling anxious about the listener's weekend plans
And I'm in panic cause my child probably ain't meeting Sammy
Worrying about the child not meeting someone named Sammy
So don't get mad when I come through cause I can't stay too long
Explaining the need for short visits due to busy schedule
Know I'm the only grandchild that you've been waiting on
Acknowledging the listener's anticipation for their presence
But with this music, hopefully you'll get a vacant home outside the Bahamas
Aspiring to provide a comfortable home through music success
And my mama'll be your neighbor soon
Envisioning a positive future where family is close
I think it's true, I used to call you when I was maybe two
Recalling childhood calls and the possibility of a visit
Three or four, wonder if you would slide here and take me to your house today
Revisiting memories of childhood innocence and chatter
You know how kids get, they just talk and run their mouth for days
Highlighting the talkative nature of kids
But you used to smile away
Recalling the listener's joyful response
I would say the happiest time stopped in the back of my mind
Nostalgia for a time considered the happiest
Had to be back to when I was traveling fast with that kite
Referencing a past involving kites and fast travel
Back at Mt. Trashmore
Specifically mentioning a location, Mt. Trashmore
See you ain't notice
Pointing out an unnoticed aspect
I kept messing up and doing stuff wrong to make us laugh more
Creating laughter through mistakes during a nostalgic period
Fast forward to when you worked at Big Lots
Recalling a time when the listener worked at Big Lots
Whipping around in that big block van
Describing the listener's vehicle
Getting them pennies and change to support your fam and grandkids
Emphasizing hard work for family support
Taking us to Chuck E. Cheese
Reminiscing about visits to Chuck E. Cheese
Uncle John ain't wash his hands, DJ telling him to stop touching me
Recounting a humorous incident with Uncle John
Luckily
Expressing relief regarding the mentioned incident
Yeah they were the happier times, at least for me, and I'm glad that you mine
Reminiscing about happy times, particularly for the speaker
I can't believe time passing us by so quickly
Expressing disbelief at the swift passage of time
Seemed like yesterday you was about to turn 50, I love you
Acknowledging the listener's aging
I know I've been gone
Acknowledging the speaker's physical absence
But i've just got a lot going on
Explaining the busyness causing the absence
You won't understand
Anticipating a lack of understanding due to the hectic life
But just know I won't change on you
Assuring constancy and loyalty despite the distance
I know I've been gone
Reiterating the acknowledgment of being away
But i've just got a lot going on
Reiterating the explanation of a busy life
You won't understand
Reiterating the anticipation of a lack of understanding
But just know I won't change on you
Reiterating the commitment to remain unchanged
