about
This is my gift to my youngest sister, Briana Patrice, who has become such an amazing young woman. I am so proud of her and, though this is super late, this track comes from my heart and is just a reflection of a fraction my love for her.
lyrics
Verse 1
everywhere she goes, the life of the party
from her head to her toes, lovin each heart beat
she walks the narrow road, life is what her art be
forever we’ll be close, love is never parting
from beginnin, daddy’s little princess
still a princess, now she’s rulin’ pinstress
so dope watchin her find where her niche is
so grown as she narrows down her interests
happy go lucky, even with a cast on
half full, even if the glass gone
emotional, even if she seems strong
intelligent, even if she seems blond
balancing challenges and she’s so talented
balanced with family all the while managing
having thee time of her life with her friends
gets a little rest and then does it all again
Chorus
it’s a long road but beautiful’s the journey
a girl whose never worried and always in a hurry
it’s a paradox but damn she cares a lot
starin off into the clouds and she’s never coming down
Verse 2
better late than never, better clear than clever
better now than ever, new chapter to be entered
centered, though theres still a long and winding road
weathered, the storms that have only helped you grow
so, now that we’re here, we’ve been there
and it’s clear that way care from the way that we share
when we only used to fight, and now it’s all love
okay we still fight, but it ends with a hug
belle of the ball, all beauty no beast
blessing us all, from the food to the speech
and the truth that you speak when we talk as we eat
or we walk down the street, just to feel free
feel free to correct me if i’m wrong
feel free as you listen to this song
feel free as you’re barely hangin’ on
feel free as your praying to our God
Chorus
it’s a long road but beautiful’s the journey
a girl whose never worried and always in a hurry
it’s a paradox but damn she cares a lot
starin off into the clouds and she’s never coming down
