'cause you're my baby

rejoice daily

i believe love could bring us closer than blood

i remember having four step-moms at nine

loved christmas time and birthday was fly

ate at my sister's just for dinner 'cause the cookin' was bomb

her mother's supper made me love her like she took me to prom

uh

and shoutout to my sisters on welfare

flacko care

if nobody else care

and shoutout to the step-sisters and the step-brothers

and god-sisters

who eventually slept with us

remain loyal

but you did it right

for love of the babies

and it's alright
