Sammie - P.O.F. lyrics
[Sammie - P.O.F. lyrics]
My mama still workin' too hard
My daddy ain't doin' too well
My sister tryna stay above water
My brother keepin' faith, yeah, change comin'
Where there's a will, there's a way
Lord, I pray for better days (Better days)
I swear, I got of weight on me
I swear, I got of pain on me yeah
I be missin' major moments
I can't get 'em back
I be wastin' so much time tryna get to a bag
I be thinkin' 'bout the kids
That a nigga should have
I pray to God that he forgives
Me for givin' 'em back
But that's the price of fame
And the game that I play it's gonna cost me
It's gonna cost me, yeah, yeah
I'm still stuck up on my ex-girl
When you supposed to be my next girl
Can't let her go, girl, I confess, girl
I swear she got a hold on me
Damn, she got a hold on me
I got money but I need things money can't buy
I got pain but my pride won't let me cry
Still shakin' demons tryna kill
'em before I die oh, no, no, no
I be missin' major moments
I can't get 'em back
I be wastin' so much time tryna get to a bag
I be thinkin' 'bout the kids
That a nigga should have, oh
I pray to God that he forgives
Me for givin' 'em back
But that's the price of fame
And the game that I play
(That I play, that I play, yeah)
It's gonna cost me (It's gonna cost me)
It's gonna cost me, yeah, yeah
(Oh, no, no, no)
It's the price of fame (Fame)
And the game that I play
(That I play, I play)
It's gonna cost me (yeah)
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah
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, be, be better than me"
I don't think no man wants his
Child to be like them
I want them to be better than me
I want him to be better than me
I may not have been there always in body
But, I was there in spirit
To try to guide him the best way I know how
I pray that I nev- I didn't let him down
And I tried to be an inspiration to him
And help him grow up
'cause he had to grow up real early
And that's a plus
Always kept him in church as much
As much as I can always try to support him
Playin' football and basketball in school
And even when he start singin'
I always tried to support him
I trust and pray that I
Have given him some insight
A solid foundation in growin' up
A solid foundation in his music
Al- always tell him, man, whatever you do
Before you do anything
Make sure you pray to God first
I appreciate you i love you
Keep up the good work
And no matter what happens in life
Remember, God loves you and
Your daddy loves you that will never change
Never change
My daddy ain't doin' too well
My sister tryna stay above water
My brother keepin' faith, yeah, change comin'
Where there's a will, there's a way
Lord, I pray for better days (Better days)
