Bavu Blakes - See You lyrics

(chorus) I was hoping I could see you again At the same time Same place Same everything When I'm with you I don't need anything You know my best interests by heart Raised me to be smart Taught at my first school Kinda strict with the rules Every blue moon we fought But you were always cool Solid support from the start Showed me to do what I ought And played a primary part In my life and you still do And I know you will do Whatever to love me To take care of me To guide me Provide me with what I need kindly Miles away, still beside me Talking through telepathy Walking the earth, separately It's hectic, believe me But I'm always needy But you're willing to feed me And make it seem easy Like I don't know it's not What a job you got Gave me breast milk through red beans Made sure I kept my room clean Now I'm hardly seen (chorus) Raised me and my sisters Actually put up with us through every Kwanzaa and Christmas However many years it is when this reaches your ears Studied our ideas, and interests Then kept us in books Arts or sports pretty much all semesters Always a solid reason for any time you left us Sometimes your belt whelped us To show you're not our playmate Encouraged us to create Not everyone can relate Your contribution's so great Can I see you at my show date This invitation won't wait Realize I won't be here forever That's how life is We'll always be together 'Cause you get where you wanna go You yourself told me so Which makes it better Hope I pa** before you pa** 'cause you're stronger than I'm strong But I'll see you before long (chorus) Almost a year Carried me with you Got married two weeks before the finale Helped raise your family on a Baton Rouge 'hood budget After your mama went to judgment Gave us more don'ts than do's and if we got confused Your actions allowed us to see it Your beauty secret Stay away from d** and booze Left it on us to choose What beauty was Being strong or being buzzed You saw a lot of things in us We didn't see in ourselves Wouldn't have known otherwise Mother who molded our lives So unbelievably wise I feel so young in your eyes Where a lot of my soul lies When you're in your own house Payin' your own bills Then you grown for real What you said I'm livin' that now Hardly get to go back How I miss how it feels (chorus)
