growing up with sammie as your older brother is a completely different experience

than what people automatically assume it is

i've always wondered

you know

how he can balance between being the norm- his normal self

and then go on stage and perform in front of thousands of people

and take on that celebrity persona that he also has

i want the world to understand that my brother's a gifted man

he sings

he writes

he talks to god on the regular

not just his musical talents

but also his natural-given gifts

without a brother like you

i wouldn't even be where i'm at today

without you

there would be no me

'cause i already know

you already know how it goes

samuel

you not a king for nothin'

i love you

so much

i'm proud of you

do your thing

king

love

how do you describe being

the mother of this amazing little boy

that has grown into this incredible

favorite

gifted

talented young man?

it has been one of the most rewarding gifts that god could ever bless me with

i am so proud of him for so many different reasons

but my heart bursts open with joy

each and every single thing

not just because his face is on the television

or his voice is on the radio

but just the fact that he has decided

and made a conscious decision to pursue his dreams

his ambitions

and be the best at it

know that mommy is always

always praying for you

and that all of the prophecies that was blessed

and given to me at birth has come to pass

i'm so proud of you

i love you

and continue to do what you do best

follow god

pursue your dreams

and remain humble

be blessed

baby

well

i have a whole lot to say

growin' up with sammie

he's a- he was a character in his-

in his own way

you know what i'm sayin'?

he wanted to be like me

but i always said to him

don't be like me
