[Intro]
I am not perfect, but I am the man I am today due to a lot of people who loved a broken boy who has now become a man (thank ya)
[Chorus]
I tip my cap to the people who stood next to me
Through the good and bad times, steady as a tree
Thank you, thank you. You helped me see
The man I am, 'cause you believed in me
[Verse 1]
Roots in the dirt, but I rose from the gravel
Each step heavy, life's a hard road to travel
You kept me grounded, like boots on the soil
Through the sweat and the blood, all the tears and the toil
Love to my momma and my daddy for giving me life
My big momma 'sprayers kept the wolves from my door
Aunt Mary voice told me I was made for more
Big daddy showed me how to be a man
My uncle scotty showed me the dream
Homies in the back, yeah, they had my spine
Taught me how to hustle, turn water to wine
[Chorus]
I tip my cap to the people who stood next to me
Through the good and bad times, steady as a tree
Thank you, thank you, you helped me see
The man I am, 'cause you believed in me
[Bridge]
Knuckles scarred, but the heart stayed clean
You saw the spark when the world turned mean
Every fight, every fall, every crack in my shell
You were there pulling me back from hell
[Verse 2]
Uncle Bill taught me how to spin my first Hustle
Said, "Boy, be sharp, but don’t waste your time."
Ms. Fay down the block, she fed me hope
When the pantry was bare, and my stomach spoke.
Shout to Coach Pruitt, who showed me that color doesn't matter to everyone
Dashlynn, thanks for making me want to be better (Daddy loves you)
[Outro]
I tip my cap to the people who stood next to me
Through the good and bad times, steady as a tree
Thank you, thank you. You helped me see
The man I am, 'cause you believed in me
[Hook]
Thanks to everyone that I didn't mention. I love you all.
