Leo - Proud Of Me lyrics

This is the path I chose
And I love it, but I just wonder
Is this how you pictured me
When you first became my mother?
Reading to me every night
You gave me all of your love
Even with dad gone
Always smiled and rubbed on my face
Told me I was destined for greatness
That I would do better than you
So assured in your statements and
Words of what I'd do
Now I'm sitting here wondering
If they're true look at your son the rapper
Wanted to be a lawyer heard an Eminem song
That "When I'm Gone", new chapter
Started writing these rhymes
Saved the homework for after
Crafted my own style
Til I finally became a master
And now I have a question
But right before you answer
I wanna say "I love you"
I never say it enough
You're the reason I'm here
You made me smart and tough
You suffered everything for
Me whenever things would get rough and I
Can't begin to express how I'm
So thankful to be
Your child and all I want is to
Be able to see your smile
If I succeed I fully owe it to you
Playing music all the time, mom
You nurtured these roots
And you did the best that
You could on your own
Thanks to you I never felt too alone
But back to the question
I know you never doubted me
Well this is what I'm destined for
I hope you're proud of me
