Isaac Ray - Tinā

Twenty year anniversary since my daddy been gone
Damn daddy why you had to leave me lone
My brother and my sister too
I was never trippin kept my head up like real niggas do
Mama I still cant believe he left the weight on you
Thats why I made this song because im thankin you
For puttin up wit us when we was yankin you
Momma you the definition of what patience do
Yeah
Tinā e te malosi
When I was down you'd do anything for me
Stay humble stay hungry what you told me
Ulavale but you still tried to console me
Tinā e le galo ou tala
Faafetai mo mea uma lava
I just wanna keep a smile on your face
Be by your side til my dying days
Ou te alofa ia te oe Tinā
Ou te alofa ia te oe Tinā yeah yeah
Ou te alofa ia te oe Tinā
Ou te alofa ia te oe Tinā
Momma I still remember stayin at that hotel
You tried to play it bool but I could tell
I seen your tears fallin your pain I felt
I swear on everything that day made a man of me
Took a lot of prayin to conquer would-be insanity
Showed me all I really got is my family
And I knew if I was to make it, it wouldn't be for me
Every thanksgiving we had something to eat
Every Christmas morning we had gifts under tree
Wasn't always much but it meant the world to me
You did what you had to do so we could live comfortably
Tinā sa e galue i lou olaga atoa
Despite the bad times you still did it all for us
We didn't always notice cause you wouldn't always show us
But
E te le'i fulitua i lau fanau
I know you hate it when we dont come around
I know you hate it when we knock eachother down
But we try our best to love eachother now yeah yeah
Ou te alofa ia te oe Tinā
Ou te alofa ia te oe Tinā yeah yeah
Ou te alofa ia te oe Tinā
Ou te alofa ia te oe Tinā
Ou te alofa ia te oe Tinā
Ou te alofa ia te oe Tinā yeah yeah
Ou te alofa ia te oe Tinā
Ou te alofa ia te oe Tinā
