May 6, 1999 a queen was born out the womb crying
Small family at the time just mom, dad, my brother
I don't remember much so I'm a skim thru time to May 6, 2005
Two new additions to the family leaving me as the only girl
A two year old and the other not even one
Me not knowing that they would in the future be the ones i do everything for
Living in Miami was somewhat of a prize
When it wasn't no worries and wasn't no lies
Orange and Mango trees felt like they fell from the sky
Always playing outside getting mud dirty like little piglets
Sometimes, most of the times this led to scars and scrapes just all over like giraffe spots
I cried but my father was there but when we left him oh what the feeling of despair
It took over me like a crown over a king's royalty
The tension in my foreign family made it hard for me find loyalty
My brothers were growing up without a father confused about life
Not knowing the situation and where he went
The truth and past was too hard to talk about
So we left it behind like a forgotten feeling
I love them to death, didn’t like seeing them like this
It wasn’t no question that I was the Chosen one
The one that will help them out and be their shoulder to lean on
But through time this seemed harder and harder as i started to fall apart myself
Getting myself into situations that just worsened my feelings making me feel like scum
Even though I grew up and started sipping on rum
What I’m saying is my childhood wasn’t perfect
But all I went thru I believe was quite worth it
I grew up fast and grew up strong
I realize that now
And I’m back where i wanted to be
The shoulder so they lean on
