Lyrics

“Well, son, I hope you enjoy your birthday
And you have a blessed one
And I love you
From the bottom of my heart, Mamaw”
I wish I believed
I wish I believed when you
Told me you believed in me
I wish I could see in me what you seen
When we talked last, you just told me two thin’s, said
I love you
And no matter what, keep doin’ what you doin’
Keep doin’ what you doin’
Whatever you doin’
Keep doin’ it
You gotta keep it movin’
Gotta keep it movin’, yeah
Do what you do, yeah
Keep doin’ what you doin’
And when I found it hard at times to be myself
Not me, just me and myself
Myself, myself
Out there doin’ what I’m (wait)
Doin’ what I’m doin’
I think that’s what got me here
I gave it my best and that’s exactly why I’m here
Hated how it felt to be in debt, to bein’ failed ’til I did somethin’
Self-reflectin’, thinkin’ ’bout the testaments and wisdom
Make sure you got a will, there’s a way when there is one
Keep doin’ what you doin’, go do what’s already been done
I know you got it in you
Yeah, yeah, baby, I
Yes, I know you got it in you (yeah, yeah)
Yes, I know you got it in you, oh (yeah)
Oh, oh, oh (baby, I)
Oh
