I was only 3 years old, I was given a reason more for me to blow
Not too many feel the love, to each his own
Speechless, on that day it wasn't even freezing cold
It's like the Lord done sent a message that you're here to keep us warm
On that day, I cradled you, thinking of things that I could say to you
Tiny hands grabbing mine, hope none are ever laid on you
Sibling rivalry had me thinking I hated you
But you don't even know how much I missed you when you made the move
Grew up a couple of years, separated by flights
All the times we used to have, wasted on childhood fights
And arguing, calling up Dad to snitch while he working nights
Never out of mind but for a while was out of sight
You're driven to getting exactly what you envision
Never though that MinMin would be the greatest of women
But here we are sitting, honor roll and working late for your shillings
Don't think you hear enough about how proud I am really
17 now and many more great years are coming
I'll be around for anytime or place you need something
Look around, I'm here surrounded by brothers
But you're the only one who's full-blooded, ain't a doubt I love it, yeah
Thinking I could hear something,
Tears flooding, feeling I should be more true
And I know sometimes you feel nothing
Hear nothing, just know that I'll be here for you
Thinking I could hear something,
Tears flooding, feeling I should be more true
And I know sometimes you feel nothing
Hear nothing, just know that I'll be here for you
