How much you’ve grown How much you’ve grown So proud Look how Much you Have grown So proud Look how Much you Have grown So proud Look how Much you Have grown So proud. Keep going So proud Keep growing Time slippin thru our hands like the hourglass as it trickles sand Struggling to meet all of life’s demands. Ain’t no guarantees. Still make time to plan ‘Member I would dream you birth a little Stan, better yet, God gave me 3 of you Traveled way beyond where it all began, never let distance get between us too Grew from a black sheep to a black queen, black excellence looking good on you From Black Dress to directing, doing things, you were scared you’d never do Relay the message like a track team, you reflect who you’re attracting Watched you rise up like Maxine, strange how things like struggle make a better you I salute you… you put in work and never put your worth in how another person views you You put your heart in every work of art and keep the fam a part of what you do A queen born in Queens like Akeem’s but in real life, y’all. Who knew? Glad I shot my shot like thoo thoo, now we paired up like Bluetooth I’m so amazed at who you are Who would have seen us come this far You really made this life your own How much you’ve grown How much you’ve grown So proud Look how Much you Have grown So proud Look how Much you Have grown So proud Look how Much you Have grown So proud. Keep going So proud Keep growing Hey Lee Wish I had a time machine to show the younger you what you’re accomplishing daily In spite of what the cost is, all your losses: Second grandchild, second baby You prove to be the Queen of second chances and advancin’ no matter what they see No buts, or no if, and or maybes. Surviving from things that would break me …Went from GED to burning through your third degree A lot of what I mastered in my own relationship I learned from watching you and D Went from dropout to a drop-top, had to drop the tomfoolery Went from no lights to lighting up the path for you and yours quite beautifully This for you from me… some words of affirmation from your baby brother Thanks for all the inspiration and support when I was fronted on by many others Many of us don’t make it as far as we have and I cherish the joy that’s among us Every blessing you’re getting is well-earned. Take a look at how far that you’ve brung us. You know I love ya! I’m so amazed at who you are Who would have seen us come this far You really made this life your own How much you’ve grown How much you’ve grown So proud Look how Much you Have grown So proud Look how Much you Have grown So proud Look how Much you Have grown So proud. Keep going So proud Keep growing
