Slow down
I know that I haven't been around in a while
Like his smile, like my style
Can you see me grow now
I'm gonna wanna make you so proud
I guess when you speak how I dress
My sister, need a night less
We was all just in the projects
Then I polished off the nonsense 'til they're spotless
No one ever be forgotten
Only one of me, I got this
With the family unstoppable
But you accepting me is optional
'Cuz it was times I lied alone
And looked the skies in the eyes across but did not respond
With time walking on, I'm often lost
But the things that you always taught
Ring in my thoughts
We could blink and it's gone
Was it in a dream? Have I seen this before?
But the memories that I reach for dissolve
I just wanna keep from repeating our flaws
So I stop and I breathe
(Pause)
Do we gotta go this route?
To be honest, kinda freaks me out
Ah ah, ooh ooh
Ah ah, ooh ooh
Ay, ay
I don't wanna be too loud
If I gotta then I'll make you proud
Ah, ah, ooh ooh
Ah, ah, ooh ooh
And in the mirror, I look like my father
But in the pictures, I look like my mother
And then to both I just look like their daughter
And then my sis, we look like each other
And in the family photos I savor
I guess we all look older by now
But as things have changed
Their hair, clothes, their ages
Scrapbooks would start to run out of pages
Do we gotta go this route?
To be honest, kinda freaks me out
Ah ah, ooh ooh
Ah ah, ooh ooh
Ay, ay
I don't wanna be too loud
If I gotta then I'll make you proud
Ah, ah, ooh ooh
Ah, ah, ooh ooh
Do we gotta go this route?
To be honest, kinda freaks me out
Ah ah, ooh ooh
Ah ah, ooh ooh
Ay, ay
I don't wanna be too loud
If I gotta then I'll make you proud
Ah, ah, ooh ooh
Ah, ah, ooh ooh
Whatever it takes
Just know that I love you
I still love you
It's hard to say but
Despite our mistakes
I know that I love you, love you, love you, love you
Love you, love you, love you, love you
Love you, love you, love you, love you
Love you, love you, love you, love you
