So True (T.D.C.)

You've been so true, been so true

You've been so true

You've been so true, been so true

You've been so true

Yo, look at my daughter, shining brighter than the sun

A queen in her own right, look at what you become

A mother with grace, handling life with such care

You're a star with the sky, in awe, I just stare

We been through the storms, yeah, some nights got tough

But with God in our corner, His love was just enough

We climbed every mountain, no matter the amount

I hope the bond that we share is much stronger than doubt

I’m proud of you, baby, from your roots to your crown

Every step that you take, the more you hold it down

We both made mistakes, but forgiveness brings light

Now matter how dark it seems, we gonna be alright

No matter what happens, my love stays true

I pray for you, Sky, and Will too

A masterpiece of strength, beauty, and grace

Forever in my heart, you’ll always have your place

You've been so true, been so true

You've been so true

You've been so true, been so true

You've been so true

You've been so true, been so true

You've been so true

You've been so true, been so true

You've been so true

Hey sis, I know you waited for oh-so long

Thanks to your patience, I finally made you your own song

How you faring down in Maryland? I hope that it's well

Parenting's hard but you solid, far as I can tell

My niece is looking cuter everyday that I see her

I'm banking on you coming home so I get to meet her

She just as great as you, days with you I'll never forget

But every time I try to write, my mind is filled with regret

I still feel guilt, some shame lingers inside me

The way I treated you, it's hard to put that behind me

Hate was in my heart, I still hadn't defined me

But still you had forgiveness despite my words

You got me them 20 dollars, now I'm doing my thing

You could've got me those headphones, but still I'll sing

Got me that CD player, bump my favorite records

Hey sis, you might just be the best one ever

It ain't just that, it's more than material gain

My love for you exists beyond momentary things

Any pain that go your way, I pray that you overcome

No other woman takes your place, you are the only one

(Peace, Sky) May you grow up and be greater than she

(Peace, Will) May you be the perfect dad for your family

Peace to anybody else associated with you

And peace to 'Mara most of all, 'cause you've been so true

You've been so true, been so true

You've been so true

You've been so true, been so true

You've been so true

You've been so true, been so true

You've been so true

You've been so true, been so true

You've been so true
