[Intro] x2
Whats up baby girl, I hope you did know
This kinda feels like, watching my kid grow
But you my little sis, and I'm your big bro
And you the love of my life, I hope you did know
[Verse 1]
Feb, 27 2002, mentally proud lets do a photo album of you
Came through outta the blue, undoubtedly true
Like my first born child I was smiling at you
Replay back in VA, the way that we play
I was in High School, you were in Pre K
And you would say my nick name in a sweet way
When I would kiss you on your cheek, you repeat
What a small treat, we cruising in mama's whip grab a car seat
She cooking our favorite dish then we all eat
And in my arms you would fall asleep
Reminiscing while I'm at Duke, in a Wall Street
Never missed your birthdays I would fly back
Never lost a step had to decide that
I play a role in your life, nobody knows what the road will be like
Want you to grow to be like, a beautiful black girl
Highly intelligent you can be that girl, you can be that thorough
But please slow down it's truly a fast blur
Watching you grow up like: That's her (Baby Girl)
[Chorus]
Whats up baby girl, I hope you did know
This kinda feels like, watching my kid grow
But you my little sis, and I'm your big bro
And you the love of my life, I hope you did know
Whats up baby girl, I hope you did know
This kinda feels like, watching my kid grow
But you my little sis, and I'm your big bro
And you the love of my life, I hope you did know
You my little sis, hey hey
I'm your big bro, hey hey
I'mma always have your back
I was hoping you did know, hey hey
You my little sis, hey hey
I'm your big bro, hey hey
I'mma always have your back
I was hoping you did know, hey hey
[Verse 2]
Now you're mama's best friend, tender age of ten
Same position that I was in
I fully comprehend what's it's like to be too young to defend
Ya mom from feeling pain but, where do I begin
I know it ain't easy, to let a tear drop fall unless it freeze me
Believe me
Want to shelter her from harm, knowing she was strong all along
Tryna' get back what we belong, had to
Make new friends, switch school assignments
Never the less you a fistful of diamonds
Forever precious, the lack of money might have stressed us
Gotta be thankful God blessed us
With a unique relationship, Don't ever let the patience slip
Keep the faith babe
And i recognize the change you had
Though you're apart your dad still remains your dad
And he loves you
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Everybody knows my love for you
Girls who wanted my heart showed love to you
I guess, tryna' impress
Giving respect to my princess
Next to my heart you never meant less
And it hurts that we spend less time
Hip-Hop is where I invest mine while I'm
Making music in this endless climb
Tryna' infuse it with a business mind
Let me end this rhyme, and say
Mama raised me to dream big
I hope, I'mma show you what a dream did
I fully expect my plans to advance, and represent your chance
But sweetheart that's the bittersweet part
We gon' be together, I know it seems far
But we are a team, nobody defeats ours
As long as you gotta' a dream, I'm helping you reach stars
I put my soul on you
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Ooooo, No, no no don't you worry, worry
Nooo, no no don't you worry, worry
Nooo, no no don't you worry, worry
You know I gotcho' your back, for good
Nooo, no no don't you worry, worry
Nooo, no no don't you worry, worry
Nooo, no no don't you worry, worry
You know I gotcho' your back, for good
You my little sis, hey hey
I'm your big bro, hey hey
I'mma always have your back
I was hoping you did know, hey hey
You my little sis, hey hey
I'm your big bro, hey hey
I'mma always have your back
I was hoping you did know, hey hey
Yea, and I meant every word
You know how mama always says
She sees a lot of me in you
Like you a little me
You know that's why
Even if I die young, and never have kids, I'll still-
I'll still be satisfied having watched you grown up you know?
I love you
And always gotcho' back no matter what
