[CHORUS:] This is for my people back home We're lighting one up, feel the love We wouldn't be here without ya This is for my people back home Mix it strong, pour it out no doubt We're always thinking about ya (Whoa) Ain't gonna let you down (Whoa) Just wanna make you proud This is for my people back home My people back home My people back home
See this one's for my people From the backwoods to the steeple From my daddy and that preacher man That taught me to run from evil From the people that I'm still so cool with And the people that I went to school with From the boys I ran around and stomped them grounds and broke them rules with This one's for my family and the way that I was raised And now my life's another city, another picture, another stage But I hope you know I miss ya And part of me's still with ya And no matter where I go or what I do I won't forget ya
[CHORUS]
This is for the one's who believed in me For the one's who took the time to breathe the life in me You got my heart beating inside of me You made me what I tried to be For the one's who love my music Said you could do it, if you choose this So we dreamed big and we worked hard Now we got the whole world cruisin'
[CHORUS]
For my brother and my sister For my mama yeah I miss her For the one that got away Damn, I should have kissed her For my best friends and my cousins And that town that we grew up in If it wasn't for all of ya'll This ole boy would be nothing
You're running through our hearts You did it from the start Yeah you know who you are You're in every song I sing You're in every dream I dream You're the beat inside of me
