[Chorus]

This is for my people back home

We're lightin' one up, feel the love

We wouldn't be here without ya

This is for my people back home

Mix it strong, pour it out, no doubt

We're always thinkin' about ya (Whoa)

Ain't gonna let you down (Whoa)

Just wanna make you proud

This is for my people back home

My people back home, my people back home

[Verse 1]

See, this one's for my people

From the backwoods to the steeple

For my daddy and that preacher man

That taught me to run from evil

From the people that I'm still so cool with

And the people that I went to school with

For the boys I ran around and stomped them grounds

And broke them rules with

This one's for my family and the way that I was raised

And now my life's another city, another picture, another stage

But I hope you know I miss ya, and part of me's still with ya

And no matter where I go or what I do, I won't forget ya

[Chorus]

This is for my people back home

We're lightin' one up, feel the love

We wouldn't be here without ya

This is for my people back home

Mix it strong, pour it out, no doubt

We're always thinkin' about ya (Whoa)

Ain't gonna let you down (Whoa)

Just wanna make you proud

This is for my people back home

My people back home, my people back home

[Verse 2]

This is for the one's who believed in me

For the one's who took the time to breathe the life in me

You got my heart beatin' inside of me

Y'all made me what I tried to be

For the one's who love my music

Said you could do it if you choose it

So we dream big and we work hard

Now we got the whole world cruisin'

[Chorus]

This is for my people back home

We're lightin' one up, feel the love

We wouldn't be here without ya

This is for my people back home

Mix it strong, pour it out, no doubt

We're always thinkin' about ya (Whoa)

Ain't gonna let you down (Whoa)

Just wanna make you proud

This is for my people back home

My people back home, my people back home

[Verse 3]

For my brother, for my sister

For my mama, yeah, I miss her

For the one that got away

Damn, I shoulda kissed her

For my best friends and my cousins

And that town that we grew up in

If it wasn't for all of ya'll

This ol' boy would be nothin'

[Bridge]

You're runnin' through our hearts

You've been here from the start

Yeah, you know who you are

(Y'all know who you are, baby)

You're in every song I sing

You're in every dream I dream

You're the beat inside of me

You're the beat inside of me

[Chorus]

This is for my people back home

We're lightin' one up, feel the love

We wouldn't be here without ya

This is for my people back home

Mix it strong, pour it out, no doubt

We're always thinkin' about ya (Whoa)

Ain't gonna let you down (Whoa)

Just wanna make you proud

This is for my people back home

My people back home, my people back home

[Outro]

Yeah, my people back home

My people back home, my people back home

Yeah, my people back home

My people back home, my people back home

Yeah, my people back home

My people back home, my people back home
