| You never got to meet your grandma did ya? |
| Every night, I got you kissin' on her picture |
| Cuts me up that you will never listen |
| To the sweet, sweet sound of her voice |
| I could tell you she was quite the mixture |
| Of a mama and a shaman and a fiery pistol |
| Truth is, she’s right there in you |
| She’s a part of you, you don’t have a choice |
| My dear, you will feel her |
| In your mind, you will hear her |
| And if she could use words, use words |
| She’d say |
| «You're beautiful, but don’t you overplay that card» |
| She’d say |
| «You're spiritual, so don’t ever forget that part» |
| She’d say |
| «You are so much stronger than you even think you are |
| Let your heart, let your heart lead the way» |
| That’s what she’d say |
| Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo |
| That’s what she’d say |
| Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo |
| She said, «Take care of your sisters, I mean their whole world |
| Spend your days tryna lift up other girls |
| You came with love, a purpose, and your mother’s curls |
| I’ll be with you every step of the way, ayy |
| Don’t live your life tryna blend in, stick out |
| Trust your gut and don’t you get into those doubts |
| Remember God is like the sun, he always comes out |
| Just when you think the dark’s here to stay» |
| My dear, you will feel her |
| In your mind, you will hear her |
| And if she could use words, use words |
| She’d say |
| «You're beautiful, but don’t you overplay that card» |
| She’d say |
| «You're spiritual, so don’t ever forget that part» |
| She’d say |
| «You are so much stronger than you even think you are |
| Let your heart, let your heart lead the way» |
| That’s what she’d say |
| Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo |
| That’s what she’d say |
| Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo |
| She’d say, «Listen to your daddy |
| In his voice, you will hear me |
| I know he will sing my song to you |
| And know that I’m happy |
| And you’ll always have me |
| I’m watching everything you do» |
| She’d say |
| «You're beautiful, but don’t you overplay that card» |
| She’d say |
| «You're spiritual, so don’t ever forget that part» |
| She’d say |
| «You are so much stronger than you even think you are |
| Let your heart, let your heart lead the way» |
| That’s what she’d say |
| Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo |
| That’s what she’d say |
| Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo |
