letra de proud of u - weglobe

[intro]
yo… i know we don’t say this enough
but i just wanted you to know
i see you
and i’m proud of you
for real
(beat gently drops)

[verse 1]
remember when we had dreams and no means?
notebook full of visions, pockets full of lint seams
momma working doubles just to keep the lights glowing
told her “one day i’ma make it,” she said “baby, i know it”
but knowing and believing are two different things
she believed when i was nothing, now i’m everything
i promised her, and this one for the ones who kept the faith
when my own faith was missing, you was holding my weight
this for my day-one who let me sleep on his couch
when i ain’t have a dollar or a way to get out
you never made me feel small, you made me feel seen
you told me i was somebody before i knew what that means
teachers said i wasn’t gon’ be nothing but a statistic
but i took that energy and i flipped it, got specific
with my goals, with my dreams, now i’m living what i wrote
and i hope you know that everything i got, you helped me grow
[pre-chorus]
so this is for you
the ones who held me down when i was falling through
this is for you
i hope you feel it ’cause i really mean it true

[chorus]
i’m so proud of you, proud of you
look how far you came, look what you been through
don’t let n0body tell you what you can’t do
i’m so proud of you, so proud of you
i’m so proud of you, proud of you
every scar you got just proves that you came through
you’re the reason why i do the things i do
i’m so proud of you

[verse 2]
yeah, let me talk to ’em
i remember being broke, not a dollar to my name
fayetteville dreams, new york state of brain
momma raised me right even when the rent was late
she would tell me “jermaine, baby, you gon’ be great”
not ’cause i was special, ’cause she made me believe it
planted seeds in my soul before i ever could see it
now i’m standing in the garden, flowers taller than me
and i owe it to the ones who watered what i would be
this for the homie who would split his last with me
half a sandwich, half a dutch, that’s a bond that’s built to be
unbreakable, unshakeable, through all the storms
you was there before the money, you was there before the forms
and the business, and the meetings, and the tours, and the fame
when i see you in the crowd i still feel the same
like we back on the block, nothing to our name
but we had each other, that’s the richest thing
[pre-chorus]
so this is for you (for you)
the ones who held us down when we was falling through (falling through)
this is for you
i hope you feel it ’cause i really mean it true

[bridge]
for the single mom working three jobs, i see you
for the kid who got told no but kept going, i see you
for the one who relapsed but still fighting, i see you
for the dreamer who’s tired but still trying, i see you
we see you, we see you
and we’re proud of you
for the first generation graduate, yeah we see you
for the one who broke the cycle, yeah we see you
for the one who chose to stay when leaving would’ve been easy
we’re proud of you, we’re proud of you
[chorus]
i’m so proud of you, proud of you (so proud)
look how far you came, look what you been through (look at you now)
don’t let n0body tell you what you can’t do
i’m so proud of you, so proud of you
i’m so proud of you, proud of you (you made it)
every scar you got just proves that you came through (you came through)
you’re the reason why i do the things i do
i’m so proud of you

[outro]
you know what’s crazy?
most people never hear those words
“i’m proud of you”
so if n0body told you today…
i’m telling you now
whatever you survived to get here
it mattered
you matter
keep going
and if you got someone who believed in you
call ’em today
tell ’em thank you
we don’t get forever
