LYRICS:
I don’t even know where to start
But I was taught that when you talk, make sure you speak from the heart
I know mine missing some parts from the school of hard knocks
But shit, its all that I got, so come and walk in my moccasins

Good luck (yeah)
I been sippin’ again
Man, I’ll pour out my heart baby, just say when (say when)
And know that the way that I’m actin is from the baggage I’m packing
But that’s what happens when you love with passion
So gwan, tip your glasses (Waniseeka)

There’s been some fucked up days
Ain’t no angels in the outfield, I can’t catch break
Well, maybe there is but they just work in different ways
And hear me out when I light up my sage, all my relations, (All my relations)

I pray we at peace and not in pieces
And that we break the cycle for my nephews and my nieces
I’m the furthest thing from perfect, that’s okay, that’s Minay
We done came a long way and I’m proud of my neechies
I’m saying (I’m saying)

Thank creator that we made it this far, this far
Lost count of the battles I fought, I fought
You win some, you lose some, baby don’t stop, don’t stop
I know that the sun shine bright after dark, after dark

Let me check in like this, while I write from a plane, Raise my glass to my past with champagne for the pain
I been thinking bout change and I’m emotionally drained, but you going through it too so I try not to complain
And my flights been delayed for like 500 days, and I just seen another post about our children’s remains
They just wanna go home and dog I’m thinking the same! I got love for the city but I’m sick of the rain

This path we’ve embarked ain’t no walk in the park, we can shoot for the stars but what’s a shot in the dark
Never knew how to swim before they threw me in, cause what’s the point of swimming when ya swimming with sharks
I took my peoples pain and it tore me apart, had a find my way back so I got lost in the art
Now all they think we think about is how we climbing the charts, this is what I really think about, after dark

(And that’s facts minay, here I go)
Every blessing ignored becomes a curse
I’ve been putting in this work, shit I’m just praying that it works
Fall down 7, get up 8 and smudge it off after
‘Cuz when you doubt yourself, you doubt your ancestors, for real (yea)

Love is love, never hateful (no)
You can lean on me like old faithful (yeah)
I know that we seen better days, bro (yeah)
Nonetheless, know my plate forever grateful (yeah, yeah)

I drift away from the shore
So I know the feels of trying to find your place in the world
But hold on (hold on), be strong (be strong)
‘Cuz the rainbow comes with the calm after the storm, all my relations

I pray we at peace and not in pieces
And that we break the cycle for my nephews and my nieces
I’m the furthest thing from perfect, that’s okay, that’s Minay
We done came a long way and I’m proud of my neechies
I’m saying (I’m saying)

Thank creator that we made it this far, this far
Lost count of the battles I fought, I fought
You win some, you lose some, baby don’t stop, don’t stop
I know that the sun shine bright after dark, after dark

To experience the trials and tribulations of life is part of our growth
We grow from those experiences each in our own individual way
But as you grow through them remember, you are uniquely you
You are loved, you matter
And I’m so happy that you were born
