Nando's on Sundays (for Sanch)
Three years old when I came in your life
Mommy put me in your arms and you held me real tight
You taught me how to read and you taught me how to write
You told me what is wrong and you showed me what is right
And
It was you through every phase
Who made sure I was okay
Put a plaster on every knee graze
Back when dad bought us Nando's on Sundays
Ten years old you were dressing me up
When I said that I was ugly you said
Ciara shut up
We were watching TV
There were things I shouldn't see
You took it on so graciously
You would cover my eyes and
All grown now you tryna do the same
Tryna protect my heart you're tryna pre-empt my pain
For years that same game
We both know from where that came
Huh, yes
We both know from where that came
Cause you were sixteen years old when we got on that plane
When thought we knew love back then we thought we know pain
Had to rebuild our lives had to leave them all behind
Build it up brick for brick
With our accents so thick
First one to make Australian dollar
The first university scholar
Meanwhile baby cousins getting taller
You carried us all on your collar
Twenty-one years old and your smile's a work of art
Pretty face, slim waist, clean hands, pure heart
But you would cry yourself to sleep
Cause your thoughts running so deep
'Bout the family, 'bout your friends
You never cared about no trends
You didn't care if you were thicker or thinner
Naitanui could've been your breadwinner
Drake could've asked you out for dinner
Bet you'd still say I'm having Nando's on Sunday
Twenty-five years old now you turning a page
Finally choosing yourself no more hanging backstage
You making those decisions girl taking those steps
You relying on God He gonna hand you success
And when you up on that stage
I'll be out in the crowd screaming "I'm her baby sister and I've always been proud"
You know I've been proud
I hope that I make you proud
And when we get to the top
I know some things might stop
Some things might rearrange
But one thing not gonna change
A billion dollars we'll have
Nando's on Sundays
A million followers we'll have
Nando's on Sundays
We lose it all we'll have
Nando's on Sundays
Make Nanny proud we'll have
Nando's on Sundays
We'll tell our kids how we had
Nando's on Sundays
Lose it all we have
Nando's on Sundays
We'll tell our kids how we had
Nando's on Sundays
Mommy put me in your arms and you held me real tight
You taught me how to read and you taught me how to write
You told me what is wrong and you showed me what is right
And
