THE WORLD
J. R. Hill Lyrics

There are two sides to every family
Families have different branches or sides, but they are all connected and part of the same unit.

I can’t leave out those from paternity
I cannot forget about those who are related to me through my biological father.

I do ride for you too
I am committed to supporting and being there for my family.

When I come through, I love seeing your faces ‘cause I often don’t
I cherish the moments when I get to spend time with my family, as it doesn't happen as often as I would like.

To all of my cousins and my nephews too
I acknowledge and appreciate my extended family, including my cousins and nephews.

And Melony, my niece, I won’t forget about you
I have a special place in my heart for my niece, Melony, and will always remember her.

I got love for Tyrone and T2
I have love and affection for my family members, Tyrone and T2.

Who else is on my list?
I am thinking about and appreciating all of my family members in this moment.

Joseph and Antonio, and Angel Lopez
I remember and care for my relatives with these names, including my cousin Angel Lopez who has passed away.

Yolanda, and their mama, Marcy the true
I recognize and hold dear my family members, Yolanda and her mother, Marcy.

And Pamela who raised them
I am grateful for Pamela's role in raising Yolanda and Marcy.

Helped my daddy out too many times to count
Pamela has been a consistent support system for my father, helping him in countless ways.

I don’t know how you managed
I admire Pamela for how she has been able to handle the challenges and responsibilities of helping my father and raising Yolanda and Marcy.

To keep every-body together
Pamela has been instrumental in keeping everyone united as a family.

So strong and so free.
Despite the challenges, our family remains resilient and able to move forward with freedom and strength.

I just wanna say I appreciate you
I want to express my gratitude and thankfulness to my family for their love and support.

And all that you do, for yours and mine
I recognize and appreciate all the ways that my family has supported both their own family members and me.

One family combined
Despite our differences, we are all part of the same family and should remain united.

Two, I come from two
I have two distinct sides to my family and heritage that have shaped me into who I am.

Two worlds
The distinct branches of my family represent two different worlds or experiences that have influenced my life.

Grandma Dorothy is the great grandmother to four
My grandmother, Dorothy, has four great-grandchildren who are special and important to our family.

She’s lived a long life
My grandmother, Dorothy, has had a lengthy and impactful life.

Here’s to many years more
I wish for my grandmother, Dorothy, to have many more years of fulfilled and happy life.

With more grandkids in addition to your
In the future, our family hopes to expand even more and welcome more grandchildren into our loving family.

Little Joey and AJ, and who I mentioned before
I have an affection in my heart for my younger family members, Joey, AJ, and all those who I previously mentioned.

I know that I’m not so close to none of y’all
I realize that I am not as close to all of my family members as I would like.

But I love you the same ‘cause the apple don’t fall
Even if we aren't close, I still love my family members because we are a part of the same family and share a bond.

Far from the tree, and we’re all family
Even though we may be different, we are all part of the same family and share a connection.

I just wish I could be with each and every one of you a little more
I wish we could spend more time together as a family, since those moments are rare and cherished.

Then we’ll be closer
If we spend more time together, it will help us to form stronger bonds and become closer as a family.

Look after my cousins’ kids as they grow older
I ask my family to take care of my cousins' children as they continue to mature and age.

‘Cause I love them all
I have love for all of my extended family members, including my cousins' kids.

Don’t want them to forget it
I don't want my family to ever forget how much they are loved and appreciated.

Just like I won’t forget the ones that moved on
I will never forget those family members who have passed away and will always hold them in my heart.

In, into the next
When family members pass away, they move on to the next world or afterlife.

Into the next, next life
The next life refers to the afterlife, and those who have passed on are now in this place.

Rest in peace to my cousin Angel
My cousin, Angel, has passed away and is now at rest in the afterlife.

Who passed away at the young age of 25
My cousin, Angel, died at a young age, which is a tragedy that can happen to anyone at any time.

Which shows you just how short life is
My cousin's death is a reminder that life is fragile and fleeting, and we should cherish the moments we have with loved ones.

It’s too short for you not to tell the people you love that you love them
Life is too brief to not express your love and affection for those closest to you, because you never know when it may be too late.

So to all of my family, from my dad’s side, from my mom’s side
I address and extend my love to all family members, regardless of whether they are from my mother or father's side.

To my family who aren’t blood
I include those who aren't related to me by blood, but are still considered part of my family due to our close relationships.

I love all of you
I want all of my family members to know how much I love and care for them.

Every single one of you
Every family member, no matter how distant or close, is important to me.

And to everybody I didn’t mention on this album, I didn’t forget you either
Even if I didn't specifically mention a family member, I still hold them in my heart and thoughts.

I love all of you too
I want every single family member to know that they are loved, appreciated, and an important part of our family unit.

Always and forever
My love for my family is infinite and enduring, and will never change.
