lyrics

Intro
Yo, this for Relly Rells, this for Relly Rells, miss you

Chorus
You’re Gods daughter, also my Goddaughter
your life is in a new place now you’ve turned the corner
I hope your future is clear and pure as water
I hope you get to do everything in your life that you wanna
I hope that you can look back on the way that you were brought up
I know that you were loved it’s just a shame that you got caught up
so take these lyrics that your Godfather thought up
it’s all that I can give until the day that I can call up


Verse One
Check it, I’m thinking right back to when you was just so small
when you could hardly talk and just about could stand to walk
I used to hear you in the background of my phone calls to your mum
I tried to visit though you wasn’t local
do you remember this? You might not
your fascination with the luminous green that’s on my Nike watch
it lights up but I wouldn’t let you wear it
I was honoured when your mum asked me to be your Godparent
I said yes although there was no ceremony
but you don’t need no ceremony if you truly know me
you got a little older then you started school
and you would play my songs over guess you thought they were cool
and there were times I used to take you to class
when I would pick you up you’d drag me to the ice cream van
you used to like to pay yourself so you will give him a pound
then walk away without your change and have to walk back down
you used to love Mickey D’s, Happy Meals with nuggets
still Fanta, no ice please! Sweet and sour sauce
and would pick the same seats every time
yeah you Gods daughter so it’s gone’ be fine, you Gods Daughter


Chorus



Verse Two
I used to take you to the park where you was never idle
I read you stories and even read your Children’s Bible
you used to ask me bout God and Heaven
it’s a shame now the last time I saw you was about age seven
I got your 8th and 9th birthday card and I been trying hard to see you
now I’m told it’s not so simple
but I promised myself I’d never give up
til’ I exhausted all my options and I didn’t
I see your picture everyday in my crib
and I hope you’re doing well and love the life that you live
and I’m told that your grades are good academically
a lot’s happened but so many good memories remain
so know that you are dearly missed
and God is gonna carry you through times like this
and take you to wherever you deserve to be
and tell you that he loves you in these words through me
this is for Relly Rells and nobody else
yes it’s for you and not for no company sales
I’m trying to see you and I’m gonna try harder
cos I love you, take care… soon ... your Godfather

Chorus (x2)
