Pat Maine - People I Claim lyrics

rate me

(Verse 1)

I wrote an ode to the people the people that owe the praise, who got

My back so with a smile I just hold their weight, though it makes me

Old to say make no mistake, my best days these day reliving the olden

Days, my boys became brothers, their moms became my mother, our wrongs

Became our mentors, my songs became my lover, you dawned on me the

Other day, I didn't thank you inside my cd cover, but THANKS, remember

When never was never and didn't know what a care was, now we uncle

Youngins of some friends just like we share blood, and we lend when we

Can't spare funds, still expect nothing back just glad we could be

There once, here's to years of holding me tight, providing me that

Comfy spot where my loyalties lie, you rise to be my prized

Possessions in the spoils of time, you own a piece of me that's why I

Owe you my life

(Chorus)

I believe I can fly float hydroplane, no boat no plane, Just the

People that I claim, the people that I claim, the people that I claim,

It's my people that have made me,

I believe I can fly float hydroplane, no boat no plane, Just the

People that I claim, the people that I claim, the people that I claim,

It's my people that have made me,

(Verse 2)

My foundation's an assortment, of friends fam and supporters, no fans

They're just extended fam it just the music that they know first,

Musics how my soul works, and it's powered by the same love I give my

Old earth, so it's full circle for the people of good, who paid that

Inspiration forward to reach like I should, now I reach with a voice

That will teach what you would, if I inspire you like you inspire me

Then get up, I didn't expect the reaction when I was on tour and

Stranded, all the perfect strangers who reached out a hand, to get us

Back home, not even just that fact alone, that spreads to those that

Had a couch to loan, for when I made it back and didn't have a home,

Here's to years of holding me tight, providing me that comfy spot

Where my loyalties lie, you rise to be my prized possessions in the

Spoils of time, you own a piece of me that's why I owe you my life

(Chorus)

I believe I can fly float hydroplane, no boat no plane, Just the

People that I claim, the people that I claim, the people that I claim,

It's my people that have made me,

I believe I can fly float hydroplane, no boat no plane, Just the

People that I claim, the people that I claim, the people that I claim,

It's my people that have made me,
