[00:44.821]Boo-hoo, shoulda knew, celebrate me, acknowledged
[00:47.523]Shaku shaku
[00:48.885]Pillola from Ghana
[00:50.246]Creeping like a dinosaur, staring back at them commas (yeah)
[00:52.811]Who knew my love for you grew back where it started?
[00:55.457]My daughter, I'm protective and cool, you sold me a promise

[01:52.015]Karaoke, now I'm singing to my captain
[01:54.141]And enough about me and all that goo-goo gagging
[01:56.739]still yapping
[01:57.717]Quick-ass hands like Mohammed, she protected me
[02:00.387]Seeds from the tree, black woman, still scribbling
[02:03.068]Growing up, it all made sense
[02:04.544]You got your grandmother's hands and your mother's two cents
[02:07.429]In her defence, gave me the world that I can't
[02:10.104]You produced, still nurturing the fruits of this man
[02:12.704]Half me and half you, so what's love got to do with it?
[02:15.861]Everything's magical, especially this new sense
[02:18.531]I'll shine a light in the dark
[02:21.316]I'll hold you when life gets hard
[02:25.438]When life gets hard, when life gets hard

[02:32.993]Grateful for your love (I'm grateful)
[02:39.412]When it's colder, we'll keep you warm
[02:43.689]Grateful for your love (I'm grateful)
