Pillars
Navy Blue Lyrics

I just wanted you to know
I wanted to express my feelings to you

I love you, and I am so glad you're my grandson
I deeply care for you and I am grateful that you're a part of my family

Every time I'm home, she my say my name, name, name
Whenever I visit home, my grandma always calls out my name repeatedly

Grandma want her earrings, she so vain, vain, vain
My grandma is obsessed with her earrings and cares a lot about her appearance

With time, I'll bring flowers to her grave, grave, grave
As time passes, I will bring flowers to my grandma's grave to pay my respects

Every morning, kiss her forehead when I
Every morning, I gently kiss my grandma's forehead

Yeah
An expression of agreement or affirmation

Audrey hold me tight, she see my grandfather face
When Audrey embraces me tightly, she sees the resemblance of my grandfather in me

My Mama is her baby, don't care what nobody say
My mom is like a baby to my grandma, and she doesn't care about anyone's opinions

Mama, Papa, living grace
My parents embody grace and are a source of inspiration to me

You see it in her walk and her talk
My grandma's grace and elegance can be seen in the way she walks and speaks

So the same, so patient, so sane
She is consistent, patient, and mentally stable

And when he passed, I was thinking no way
When my grandfather died, I couldn't believe it

Could have sworn he'll live forever
I was convinced that he would never die

Now this shit just ain't the same
Things have drastically changed and it's not the way it used to be

I know so many lost they grandfathers but it ain't the same
I understand that many people have lost their grandfathers, but my situation feels different

This the man who taught me how to be a man
My grandfather was the one who taught me important lessons on becoming a responsible man

This the man that made my Mama
He is the one who created my mother

That so graciously birthed me under water
He supported and partook in my birth, even though it was a water birth

Water bearing, know I shouldn't be hurting
Since I was born in water, I should be resilient and avoid feeling pain

I'm grateful, con tiempo, I'ma break through
I'm thankful, with time, I will overcome my struggles

Face truth, make due of the worst
Confront reality and make the best out of difficult situations

Take one just to live by the second, know for sure
Live in the present moment, taking life one second at a time, with certainty

Shh, for sure, by the third
Quietly and confidently, without a doubt, by the third attempt

I swear I knew but by the fourth one
I genuinely believed I understood, but it took until the fourth attempt

I saw it all converge
I witnessed everything coming together and making sense

The surface still like nothing to the earth
Superficial aspects hold no significance compared to fundamental truths

What's deepest psychologies
The innermost aspects of our minds and emotions

Reverse my weakness, I had to cry
I had to confront and overcome my vulnerabilities by allowing myself to cry

I let it hurt, I mean it
I allowed myself to feel the pain deeply, and it was genuine

Mama made a man of his word
My mom raised me to be someone who keeps their promises

Had my feet on the earth, magnetic pull
I had a strong connection to reality, grounded with a magnetic force

Be happy, don't let anybody steal your joy, okay?
Stay happy and don't allow others to take away your happiness

You're a great young man
You are an exceptional young man

You are an asset to this world
You bring value and contribute positively to the world

And don't you ever forget it
Always remember it and never let it slip from your mind

Bye bye
A casual way of saying goodbye
