Grandma Theme (SunRise)
My grandma moved from down south to up north Searchin' for a better life, of course
One mouth to feed, two bodies to clothe got so bad it sent her daughter back down south
Livin' with her grandparents and a few aunties talkin' to herself like my mommy don't want
Me But you didn't see how bright a day was comin
You didn't see how bright a day was comin' til the summer, 1963, age 11
Grandma done found God now, found love now found peace now, no way, no how
You're gettin' trouble now, wildin' out, child At the age of 18, you had me
Better know than 1973, august 10th
My pops wasn't there to sign the birth certificate he's probably drunk somewhere
Layin' in the bed in his underwear chillin' with the brown skin shorty was short hair
After a long stare, after a long night took a long flight, kiss goodnight
Met in the twilight, under the streetlight uptown, saturday, moonlightin
I was born in the midday half a block away from my big sister's house
People ran their mouth when new son is born prophet
He's probably drunk somewhere layin' in the bed in his underwear
Chillin' with the Browns cause shorty was short hair
After a long stare
My grandma moved from down south to up north Searchin' for a better life, of course
One mouth to feed, two bodies to clothe got so bad it sent her daughter back down south
Livin' with her grandparents and a few aunties talkin' to herself like my mommy don't want
Me But you didn't see how bright a day was comin
You didn't see how bright a day was comin' til the summer, 1963, age 11
Grandma done found God now, found love now found peace now, no way, no how
You're gettin' trouble now, wildin' out, child At the age of 18, you had me
Better know than 1973, august 10th
My pops wasn't there to sign the birth certificate he's probably drunk somewhere
Layin' in the bed in his underwear chillin' with the brown skin shorty was short hair
After a long stare, after a long night took a long flight, kiss goodnight
Met in the twilight, under the streetlight uptown, saturday, moonlightin
I was born in the midday half a block away from my big sister's house
People ran their mouth when new son is born prophet
He's probably drunk somewhere layin' in the bed in his underwear
Chillin' with the Browns cause shorty was short hair
After a long stare
My grandma moved from down south to up north Searchin' for a better life, of course
