Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
My dear, you will feel her
In your mind, you will hear her
And if she could use words
Use words
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Ooh, woo-ooh
Ooh, woo-ooh
Ooh, woo-ooh
That's what she'd say
[Verse 6]
Ooh, woo-ooh
Ooh, woo-ooh
Ooh, woo-ooh
Ooh, woo-ooh
[Verse 7]
She'd say, "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"
[Verse 8]
"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"
[Verse 9]
My dear, you will feel her
In your mind, you will hear her
And if she could use words
Use words
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
Ooh, woo-ooh
Ooh, woo-ooh
Ooh, woo-ooh
That's what she'd say
[Verse 12]
Ooh, woo-ooh
Ooh, woo-ooh
Ooh, woo-ooh
[Verse 13]
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"
[Verse 14]
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
[Verse 15]
Ooh, woo-ooh
Ooh, woo-ooh
Ooh, woo-ooh
That's what she'd say
[Verse 16]
Ooh, woo-ooh
Ooh, woo-ooh
Ooh, woo-ooh
Ooh, woo-ooh
