Nikki McKnight - Letter to A'Zariah

Only a few months til you arrive, and change up our lives
What a surprise, know everybody's thinking bout time
My mama's overjoyed. I can see it in her smile
You're what she's been waiting for
Always seen it in her eyes
Since we've been old enough to conceive
She'd been having this need
An itch I couldn't scratch. A gift I couldn't wrap
Cause, Lord knows I'd give that woman the world
But there's no way I would have a little boy or a girl
Baby sister came through right on time
Right when she retired
She's even trying to go back to work to help provide
Now you see how spoiled you already are
She even love you more than she does Coco and Sparkle
And Star. Those our family dogs
The grand babies before you came in
I can picture their jealousy when they see you replaced them
But if I know them, they gonna love you hard as we do
I'm trying to be cool, but I can't wait to meet you
And I can't wait to teach you all the things I probably missed with my sis
Give you every kiss she didn't get
See as kids all we knew was outside we had to fight for her
But in the house it was like war
Don't get me wrong, we had fun times
But us beefing was lit
Ask ya mom about the story of her, ya Uncle and them grits
I know we ran ya granny crazy
But thankfully on some weekends she'd get a break from it
That's word to our Aunt Carolyn and Dydee
And ya great grannies that helped with some of our needs
I hate you won't get to meet em, they were the sweetest
A granny's love is just one that you can't compete with
Just wait til yours is holding you and you gonna see it
And you gonna feel a connection that'll be the deepest
I'ma give you game, ask for what you want
You'll be her weakness
But if she try to put her feet down, just call auntie Nix
And I'ma make it happen for you niecey Pooh
This family wasn't perfect, cause we needed you
And don't you ever doubt ya self with anything you do
I believe in you and I'ma make sure you believing too
I love you
