[00:15.09] | just to get through the day |
[00:16.90] | back in Hong Kong |
[00:18.26] | where they grew up and stayed |

[00:40.97] | every Sunday |
[00:41.72] | it was part of the tradition |
[00:43.28] | while y’all was at church |

[01:27.81] | cause at one point |
[01:29.12] | yo I was losin’ sleep |

[01:52.39] | to say I was excited |
[01:53.82] | so when Clef said that’s it |
[01:55.18] | I ain’t hesitate to write it |
[01:56.81] | I was barely 21 |
