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 He always said 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 tried 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
