Humble Beginnings Video (MV)

Yeah, remember when we was broke, pockets empty
Mmm, stomach hurt, heart was heavy
Dancin' in the rain, findin' joy in the pain
Mmm, these memories keep us, keep us, keep us sane
Oh, we prayed for days brighter than those nights
Now we shine, but don't forget that fight
As a man, no matter how high we climb
Don't forget where we came from, my son
Mmm, the money, the fame, it's all just a game
But your heart, your roots, they're where it's done
Now you in silk, drippin' chrome
Mmm, livin' life like it's all you known
But remember the hustle, the work, the fight
Mmm, that's your soul, that's your light, your might
We've come so far, from where we started
Yet, those lessons in our hearts, they've charted
As a man, no matter how high we climb
Don't forget where we came from, my son
Mmm, the money, the fame, it's all just a game
But your heart, your roots, they're where it's done
When you're at the top, lookin' down
Mmm, remember those days, they made you crown
This life, this love, this all you've known
But never forget, you're from a humble home
So, keep your spirit open, your pride in check
Mmm, those hard times, they teach respect
No matter how rich, how grand you become
You're still that boy, with dreams, still young
I remember my dad, he told me once
When I was just a young man trying to make it
About the time he sold his saxophone to keep the lights on. Years later, when he made it big in music
He kept that saxophone mouthpiece close
He'd say"Son, this here, this is where your soul comes from
Never let success make you forget the struggle that shaped you"
It's a lesson that's with me every step
Keeping me humble, keeping me real
In this world of R&B and soul.
