| You’re Gods daughter, also my Goddaughter
|
| Your life is in a new place now you’ve turned the corner
|
| I hope your future is clear and pure as water
|
| I hope you get to do everything in your life that you wanna
|
| I hope that you can look back on the way that you were brought up
|
| I know that you were loved it’s just a shame that you got caught up
|
| So take these lyrics that your Godfather thought up
|
| It’s all that I can give until the day that I can call up
|
| Verse One
|
| Check it, I’m thinking right back to when you was just so small
|
| When you could hardly talk and just about could stand to walk
|
| I used to hear you in the background of my phone calls to your mum
|
| I tried to visit though you wasn’t local
|
| Do you remember this? |
| You might not
|
| Your fascination with the luminous green that’s on my Nike watch
|
| It lights up but I wouldn’t let you wear it
|
| I was honoured when your mum asked me to be your Godparent
|
| I said yes although there was no ceremony
|
| But you don’t need no ceremony if you truly know me
|
| You got a little older then you started school
|
| And you would play my songs over guess you thought they were cool
|
| And there were times I used to take you to class
|
| When I would pick you up you’d drag me to the ice cream van
|
| You used to like to pay yourself so you will give him a pound
|
| Then walk away without your change and have to walk back down
|
| You used to love Mickey D’s, Happy Meals with nuggets
|
| Still Fanta, no ice please! |
| Sweet and sour sauce
|
| And would pick the same seats every time
|
| Yeah you Gods daughter so it’s gone' be fine, you Gods Daughter
|
| Verse Two
|
| I used to take you to the park where you was never idle
|
| I read you stories and even read your Children’s Bible
|
| You used to ask me bout God and Heaven
|
| It’s a shame now the last time I saw you was about age seven
|
| I got your 8th and 9th birthday card and I been trying hard to see you
|
| Now I’m told it’s not so simple
|
| But I promised myself I’d never give up
|
| Til' I exhausted all my options and I didn’t
|
| I see your picture everyday in my crib
|
| And I hope you’re doing well and love the life that you live
|
| And I’m told that your grades are good academically
|
| A lot’s happened but so many good memories remain
|
| So know that you are dearly missed
|
| And God is gonna carry you through times like this
|
| And take you to wherever you deserve to be
|
| And tell you that he loves you in these words through me
|
| This is for Relly Rells and nobody else
|
| Yes it’s for you and not for no company sales
|
| I’m trying to see you and I’m gonna try harder
|
| Cos I love you, take care… soon … your Godfather |
