My family

Lyrics

We grew up on Prairie, front of that building (yeah…), Jumpin’ rope, playin’ tag, whole block chillin’ (uh‑huh). Rock Teacher, Captain May I, laughin’ in the sun (come on), Cousins everywhere, every day felt like fun (so good). Playground down the way where we’d run and roll (run and roll), Swingin’ on the poles, hand to hand, soul to soul (soul to soul). Feet off the ground, flyin’ like we had no fear (no fear), Childhood in the air, every cousin right there (right there). Watermelon man rollin’ slow down the street (slow it down), Granny and our mommas ran like it was somethin’ sweet (so sweet). Uncle hit the hydrant, water splashin’ everywhere (everywhere), Didn’t have much, but the love was always there (always there). Even though we live in different states (different states), The love still strong, it never fades (never fades). Granny was the glue, kept us all in place (hold us down), And I still feel y’all with me every day (every day). Still right here… still right here… (right here) Family in my heart, still right here (still right here). We miss Granny, she the heart of the line (heart of the line), Uncle Rodney, Aunt Newt, still forever shine (forever shine). Aunt Jackie Nell, Skeeb, Auntie Sandy, Mattie too (yeah…), Angels in the sky watchin’ everything we do (everything). But we still got Pie, Tina, Bud, Pumpkin, Yeetah, Pooh (the crew), Auntie Sill, Auntie Jen, Auntie Joann, Auntie Sue too (all love). Uncle Kay Tee, Uncle Calvin holdin’ down the crew (hold it down), Family spread out, but the love still true (still true). Even though we live in different states (different states), The love still strong, it never fades (never fades). Granny was the glue, kept us all in place (hold us down), And I still feel y’all with me every day (every day). Still right here… still right here… (right here) Family in my soul, still right here (still right here). Gina, Stephanie, Nikki, Nanee — we grew strong (we grew strong), Mama Mill raised us right, kept us movin’ along (movin’ along). Even when the calls get few, when the years feel long (long years), Family still the rhythm underneath every song (every song). Sometimes we only gather when the tears fall down (fall down), But I’m prayin’ for a day we come together with a smile (with a smile). A reunion we ain’t had, but I still see it clear (so clear) — 4901 Prairie in my heart every year (every year). Kids runnin’, cousins laughin’, summer breeze in the air (in the air), Granny in the wind sayin’ “Baby, I’m still there” (still here). Distance don’t break us, time don’t erase us (can’t erase), Love like ours — nobody can replace us (no one). Even though we live in different states (different states), The love still strong, it never fades (never fades). Granny was the glue, kept us all in place (hold us down), And I still feel y’all with me every day (every day). Still right here… still right here… (right here) Family in my heart, still right here (still right here).
