From the day that we were born
And mom hugged us with warmth
And we grew cuz we knew we had all your support
From the fams, to the friends,
Keep givin′ us the strength to rise
And the knowledge that we gained
Through every single mistake
But you never backed down,
Through this you taught me faith
And its because of you, I grew
Because of you, I made it through
We all have a home to come to
You're a blessing to us all, so keep just being you
First I thank the Universe, the infinite the all,
God, Jah, Allah, whatever name you call
Then I thank the ancestors, yes the predecessors,
The wisdom and the knowledge that they pass only bless us
Shout to Marcus Garvey, MLK, Malcom, Gandhi
Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, Tupac, they remind me,
The power of the pen, the music and the voice,
Everything they've done, lets me know I have choice,
Now for my people, mom, pops, sister, brothers,
Best friend, acquaintance, lover, co-worker,
Even if I don′t know you, all the good that you do,
Helps me see my way through,
Service space thanks for sharing all the good news
