GranDiva - My Child (A Letter to My Son)

The second they laid you on my chest
My heart as never beat the same
I prayed and prayed
And then the day finally came
I got a SON
A gift from God for all the pain
And if I had to choose
You know I’d do it all again
Your hair was gold
Son you were born with a crown
You and your sisters the reasons why I’m still around
But this songs for you so you will always know your worth
And know I’m never ashamed of the child that I have birthed
MY CHILD
Want you to know you’re the child of a queen
I’ll be by your side whatever life brings
Know what’s inside of you they can’t take away
There’s power in your blood a DIVA'S DNA
Want you to know you’re the child of a queen
I’ll be by your side whatever life brings
Know what’s inside of you they can’t take away
There’s power in your blood a DIVA'S DNA
I have to laugh sometimes you should have been born a Gemini
The side that love so hard
And then the side that makes me cry
I’d cry a million tears my love would never wash away
Not even in the ground or before the lord on judgement day
I’m sorry times were hard and we didn’t have much growing up
I did the best I could
Continue to fight and never gave
I went to church
I even got a college degree
I moved us out the hood to keep you safe and off of the streets
I couldn’t replace your dad but I tried to pour love in every place
That his absence and time would leave an empty space
I kept faith
I know trouble don’t last always
And kept our heads up so you can see our brighter days
MY CHILD
Want you to know you’re the child of a queen
I’ll be by your side whatever life brings
Know what’s inside of you they can’t take away
There’s power in your blood a DIVA'S DNA
Want you to know you’re the child of a queen
I’ll be by your side whatever life brings
Know what’s inside of you they can’t take away
There’s power in your blood a DIVA'S DNA
I know life is hard
I know sometimes you wonder why
your beautiful brown skin
Makes you the target of so much crime
You find no safety in the police or society
As long as you are at war, you’ll always have a soldier in me
And when you have to cry because your mind is telling you lies
Remember your never alone your sisters and I are by your side
And yes Men cry
That don’t make um less of a man
Let out the NEGATIVE so POSITIVE can fill your body again
If you have to fight and nobody else a knuckle up
It’s at the drop of a dime
We ready to ride no matter what
I gave you tough love cause I had to get the point across
Know what you go through is always a lesson and never a loss
This life is business
To move from a worker and into a boss
Protect your peace of mind and guard your heart no matter the cost
Don’t ever wonder whose you are or where you belong
Don’t wonder loves you remember the words to this song MY CHILD
You’re WORTHY
You’re WORTH IT
And YOU MATTER
