(Ayy) JAY loves you
Oh, the heavy weight you carry
Watching me while you hide the pain
Kushe, to the ones who built the road
You wake up early, the sun still low
Fighting the world just so I can grow
I see the creases upon your face
You ran the marathon just to win the race
No complaint, just a steady hand
Building a future on shifting sand
You sacrifice everything in the dark
Just to make sure that I find my spark
Oh, the silence of your sacrifice
You gave the sun, you gave the ice
I know the tears behind the smile
You carried the burden for every mile
My strength comes from the love you hide
You are the rhythm, you are the tide
I never noticed the shoes you wore
Always thin, yet you wanted more
For me to shine, for me to fly
You kept your sorrows hidden from the eye
Such a heavy weight, such a quiet grace
I see your history in this empty space
My Padi, my hero, my heart, my soul
You broke your pieces just to keep me whole
Oh, the silence of your sacrifice
You gave the sun, you gave the ice
I know the tears behind the smile
You carried the burden for every mile
My strength comes from the love you hide
You are the rhythm, you are the tide
I owe the world to the steps you took
Every chapter in this life-long book
I will rise because you stood so tall
You took the weight so I wouldn't fall
Oh, the silence of your sacrifice
You gave the sun, you gave the ice
I know the tears behind the smile
You carried the burden for every mile
My strength comes from the love you hide
You are the rhythm, you are the tide
Yeah, for the ones who sacrificed
I see you now
Silent strength, yeah
(Ayy, thank you)
Blessings, constant love
JAY loves you more than words can say
