(rapping) Gramma i really miss you and it aint been the same, i drop a tear when
i hear your name -Mary Ella Holloway- why you gotta be so far away, Used to to
say dont worry ts gon' be o.k. But it aint,its like when you left, you took the
lord with you, why couldnt i come when he came to get you, damn i really miss
you, i had to say it again, i remember the time i was like 10, crept up in the
neighbors yard, yea bein hard headed, you told me i would get it, you said it,
and boy did i get it, but after you spanked me, you hugged me, kissed me on the
forehead, told me that you loved me and i saw that it hurt you more than it hurt
me. i thought how bad could this hurt be, i know now, thats why it only done
outta love-what i wouldnt give for just one more hug- from gramma

you for when you first met her, exceptin the love of my wife (uh), i thank for
the Sunday dinners, they were vital, i thank you for my life, i thank you for
the bible, i thank you for the songs you sang in the morinin -amazing grace-
while i yawnin, i thank you for the true beatins you gave me, cause i know
somewhere along the line the lessons i learned from the true beatins you saved
me and when you died i cried like a baby (ah) i begged the lord to take me
(uh)cause no one else coud give you what you gave me. Live life like everyday
comes to an end, i pray i go to heaven to see you again -amen
