[Intro] x2

Whats up baby girl, I hope you did know

This kinda feels like, watching my kid grow

But you my little sis, and I'm your big bro

And you the love of my life, I hope you did know

[Verse 1]

Feb, 27 2002, mentally proud lets do a photo album of you

Came through outta the blue, undoubtedly true

Like my first born child I was smiling at you

Replay back in VA, the way that we play

I was in High School, you were in Pre K

And you would say my nick name in a sweet way

When I would kiss you on your cheek, you repeat

What a small treat, we cruising in mama's whip grab a car seat

She cooking our favorite dish then we all eat

And in my arms you would fall asleep

Reminiscing while I'm at Duke, in a Wall Street

Never missed your birthdays I would fly back

Never lost a step had to decide that

I play a role in your life, nobody knows what the road will be like

Want you to grow to be like, a beautiful black girl

Highly intelligent you can be that girl, you can be that thorough

But please slow down it's truly a fast blur

Watching you grow up like: That's her (Baby Girl)

[Chorus]

Whats up baby girl, I hope you did know

This kinda feels like, watching my kid grow

But you my little sis, and I'm your big bro

And you the love of my life, I hope you did know

Whats up baby girl, I hope you did know

This kinda feels like, watching my kid grow

But you my little sis, and I'm your big bro

And you the love of my life, I hope you did know

You my little sis, hey hey

I'm your big bro, hey hey

I'mma always have your back

I was hoping you did know, hey hey

You my little sis, hey hey

I'm your big bro, hey hey

I'mma always have your back

I was hoping you did know, hey hey

[Verse 2]

Now you're mama's best friend, tender age of ten

Same position that I was in

I fully comprehend what's it's like to be too young to defend

Ya mom from feeling pain but, where do I begin

I know it ain't easy, to let a tear drop fall unless it freeze me

Believe me

Want to shelter her from harm, knowing she was strong all along

Tryna' get back what we belong, had to

Make new friends, switch school assignments

Never the less you a fistful of diamonds

Forever precious, the lack of money might have stressed us

Gotta be thankful God blessed us

With a unique relationship, Don't ever let the patience slip

Keep the faith babe

And i recognize the change you had

Though you're apart your dad still remains your dad

And he loves you

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Everybody knows my love for you

Girls who wanted my heart showed love to you

I guess, tryna' impress

Giving respect to my princess

Next to my heart you never meant less

And it hurts that we spend less time

Hip-Hop is where I invest mine while I'm

Making music in this endless climb

Tryna' infuse it with a business mind

Let me end this rhyme, and say

Mama raised me to dream big

I hope, I'mma show you what a dream did

I fully expect my plans to advance, and represent your chance

But sweetheart that's the bittersweet part

We gon' be together, I know it seems far

But we are a team, nobody defeats ours

As long as you gotta' a dream, I'm helping you reach stars

I put my soul on you

[Chorus]

[Outro]

Ooooo, No, no no don't you worry, worry

Nooo, no no don't you worry, worry

Nooo, no no don't you worry, worry

You know I gotcho' your back, for good

Nooo, no no don't you worry, worry

Nooo, no no don't you worry, worry

Nooo, no no don't you worry, worry

You know I gotcho' your back, for good

You my little sis, hey hey

I'm your big bro, hey hey

I'mma always have your back

I was hoping you did know, hey hey

You my little sis, hey hey

I'm your big bro, hey hey

I'mma always have your back

I was hoping you did know, hey hey

Yea, and I meant every word

You know how mama always says

She sees a lot of me in you

Like you a little me

You know that's why

Even if I die young, and never have kids, I'll still-

I'll still be satisfied having watched you grown up you know?

I love you

And always gotcho' back no matter what
