Family first and everything else will follow.

lyrics

Verse I:

I'm so grateful.
Look to the God above, you so able.
Look at the God within, she so capable.
Think it, believe it, just know that it's attainable.

I thank moms for the daughter that she raised.
I thank pops for the dues that he paid.
And all my aunties [are] real true Amazons
Every uncle is a black James Bond

Smooth! Walk like you got soul
But don't lose that groove.
All the ancestors looking back in my reflection.
So when I have my daughter, I can learn her this lesson.

You see that land out there, it belongs to you.
And anything that you imagine, you can do.
The world is bound to tell you "no", so demand a "yes".
And you will always win if you give your best.

Your friends are the family you choose.
Always make the money, never let the money make you.
No matter the digits of the miles that you roam.
You never too far gone where you can't dial home.

Chorus:
I love you. Everything that you are.
Everything that you ain't. You my one true star.
Shoot for the moon and you'll land in the galaxy.
Heaven is within and connected by your tapestry.

I love you. Everything that you are.
Everything that you ain't. You my unborn star.
Shoot for the moon and you'll land in the galaxy.
Heaven is within.

Verse II:
Look, is you sis or you sus? Is you right or you just?
Cause a righteous soul would never try to take us.
All that I am, my nephews are greater than.
And don't be like me, shawty be better than.

I spent a long time trying to fit in a box.
Claustrophobic in a coffin trying to be what I'm not.
Bore a lot of crosses so you wouldn't have to.
Saw my Revelations from Genesis through to Matthew.

And your Nana told me never trust a man
Except God. Get y'earn. Better have your own plan.
So, I'll tell you the same, that's for any young 'oman.
If she don't match your shine, tell her find another luman.

Shout out to my baby sis, my Rock of Gibraltar
By my side while fighting hell to singing praise at the alter.
The same ones that held me down lifted me up.
I'll never forget, please raise up your cups.
Cause

Chorus:
I love you. Everything that you are.
Everything that you ain't. You my one true star.
Shoot for the moon and you'll land in the galaxy.
Heaven is within and connected by your tapestry.

I love you. Everything that you are.
Everything that you ain't. You my unborn star.
Shoot for the moon and you'll land in the galaxy.
Heaven is within.

Refrain
Heaven is within
Cause I love you
I love you

Heaven is within
Cause I love you
I love you
