  • You never got to meet your grandma did ya?
    Every night, I got you kissing on her picture
    Cuts me up that you will never listen
    To the sweet, sweet sound of her voice
    I could tell you she was quite the mixture
    Of a mama and a shaman and a fiery pistol
    Truth is, she's right there in you
    She's a part of you, you don't have a choice

    My dear, you will feel her
    In your mind, you will hear her
    And if she could use words, use words

    She'd say "You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card"
    She'd say "You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part"
    She'd say "You are so much stronger than you even think you are
    Let your heart, let your heart lead the way"
    That's what she'd say

    Ooh woo, ooh woo, ooh woo
    That's what she'd say
    Ooh woo, ooh woo, ooh woo hoo hoo

    She said, "Take care of your sisters, I mean their whole world
    Spend your days tryna lift them other girls
    You came with love, a purpose, and your mother's curls
    I'll be with you every step of the way, ay
    Don't live your life tryna blend in, stick out
    Trust your gut and don't you get into those doubts
    Remember God is like the sun, he always comes out
    Just when you think the dark's here to stay"

    My dear, you will feel her
    In your mind, you will hear her
    And if she could use words, use words

    She'd say "You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card"
    She'd say "You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part"
    She'd say "You are so much stronger than you even think you are
    Let your heart, let your heart lead the way"
    That's what she'd say

    Ooh woo, ooh woo, ooh woo
    That's what she'd say
    Ooh woo, ooh woo, ooh woo hoo hoo

    She'd say, "Listen to your daddy
    In his voice, you will hear me
    I know he will sing my song to you
    And know that I'm happy
    And you'll always have me
    I'm watching everything you do"

    She'd say "You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card"
    She'd say "You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part"
    She'd say "You are so much stronger than you even think you are
    Let your heart, let your heart lead the way"
    That's what she'd say

    Ooh woo, ooh woo, ooh woo
    That's what she'd say
    Ooh woo, ooh woo, ooh woo hoo hoo
