Must have been your brown skirt, pretty face
Something got us aligned with the universe
Sexy legs, rhythm and base
Heart pumping loud as I was introduced
Hope it wasn’t too loud I’d be so embarrassed
Acting cool but if I’m being honest
Never met anybody else so God blessed
Never anybody else caught my tracks
U where with my little brother said I wasn’t your type
A family friend so he knew what u liked
Maybe too fine
For a brother like I
Soulmates aligned
Beautiful body and mind
Chorus x2
Half a smile as I reminisce
Good memories as I take you back
What does it take (hahaha)
A sip of Hennessy by the lake
Verse 2
Your heart beat was the most beautiful
Dr Grabowska God bless her soul
Helped make your mama’s life comfortable
Wasn’t easy, the pregnancy & all
Daddy heavy in debt, money wasn’t close
Your mama throwing up every hour I’m on the phone
Family full of soldiers they all had your side
Your great grandma with you every night
Then the day came what a beautiful time
No money for hospital but, God provides
Uncles, aunties, friends, everybody
They all waited anxiously for that somebody
Cord round your leg, they had to operate
Your mama unconscious, full of grace
Thanks to the moment. Was first to see your face
Thanks for the moment Mandipa
God’s gift
Chorus x2
Half a smile as I reminisce
Good memories as I take you back
What does it take (hahaha)
A sip of Hennessy by the lake
Verse 3
They say nothing grabs a memory like a photograph
I shed a tear like I’m looking thru a time glass
All my classmates there party of the year
You took your shirt off jumped around, high on life
A true warrior, great friend, miss you man
The most honest, always seemed to have a plan
Some of us were not sure what to do on this land
A green soldier you loved animals and plants
I can’t face your mama when I pass thru your house
I wish I had done more just to show some love
I couldn’t even face your widow at your funeral
After all you did for me I wish I did some more
From the same blocks, from the same pain
You rose from the concrete like Pac man
So when my daughter says daddy who do you admire
I’ll tell her look at that picture who’s got the fire
Chorus (till fade)
