THE WORLD
J.R. Hill Lyrics

There are two sides to every family
Families can have multiple factions or groups within them

I can’t leave out those from paternity
I can't forget about the family members who are not biologically related to me

I do ride for you too
I support and care for you as well

When I come through, I love seeing your faces ‘cause I often don’t
I cherish the moments that I get to spend with you because they are rare

To all of my cousins and my nephews too
I care for my extended family and nieces and nephews

And Melony, my niece, I won’t forget about you
I want to make sure that Melony knows that she is not forgotten

I got love for Tyrone and T2
I have affection for Tyrone and T2

Who else is on my list?
Who else do I need to mention that I care for?

Joseph and Antonio, and Angel Lopez
I value and love Joseph, Antonio, and Angel Lopez

Yolanda, and their mama, Marcy the true
I regard Yolanda and their mother, Marcy, highly

And Pamela who raised them
I am grateful for Pamela who helped raise them

Helped my daddy out too many times to count
Pamela assisted my father on multiple occasions

I don’t know how you managed
I am in awe of how Pamela was able to handle everything

To keep every-body together
To keep the whole family unified

So strong and so free.
In a resilient and independent manner

I just wanna say I appreciate you
I want to express my gratitude towards you

And all that you do, for yours and mine
I acknowledge and value everything you do for your family and mine

One family combined
We are all one big family unit

Two, I come from two
I have relatives on both sides of my family

I come from two, two worlds
I belong to both sides of my family, who come from different backgrounds

Grandma Dorothy is the great grandmother to four
My grandmother Dorothy is a great-grandmother to four grandchildren

She’s lived a long life
My grandmother Dorothy has led a lengthy and fulfilling life

Here’s to many years more
I hope my grandmother Dorothy lives for many more years to come

With more grandkids in addition to your
There will be more grandchildren added to the family

Little Joey and AJ, and who I mentioned before
There are also grandchildren named Joey and AJ

I know that I’m not so close to none of y’all
I am not as emotionally close to any of you as I would like to be

But I love you the same ‘cause the apple don’t fall
Despite our distance, I still love you because we are family

Far from the tree, and we’re all family
Though we may be different, we are all still family

I just wish I could be with each and every one of you a little more
I regret not being able to spend more time with all of you

Then we’ll be closer
If we can spend more time together, we will become more emotionally close

Look after my cousins’ kids as they grow older
Take care of my cousins' children as they mature

‘Cause I love them all
I care deeply for all of the children in the family

Don’t want them to forget it
I do not want them to forget the love and care that I have for them

Just like I won’t forget the ones that moved on
Just as I will never forget the family members who have passed away

In, into the next
Who have moved on to the next life

Into the next, next life
Who have passed away and gone to the afterlife

Rest in peace to my cousin Angel
I want my cousin Angel to rest in peace after passing away at a young age

Who passed away at the young age of 25
Angel died at a young age

Which shows you just how short life is
Angel's death is a reminder of how brief life can be

It’s too short for you not to tell the people you love that you love them
Life is too short to not express your love for those you care about

So to all of my family, from my dad’s side, from my mom’s side
To every family member I have, whether from my mother or father's side

To my family who aren’t blood
To those family members who aren't biologically related to me

I love all of you
I have love for everyone in my family

Every single one of you
I care for each and every person in my family

And to everybody I didn’t mention on this album, I didn’t forget you either
I did not intentionally leave anyone out from the list of family members I mentioned earlier

I love all of you too
I care for each and every family member not mentioned as well

Always and forever
My love and care for my family is eternal

Two Worlds
The song is an ode to my two sides of the family coming together as one
