Nephew

I was young as i watched grow up

Even Knew what was going on around you

Wish'in he was a better father
But he didnt want to bother

Wish'in your momma wasnt so selfish

Should of given you more love and affection

Money cant buy what you really needed
Its like you almost got cheated

What about some morals like right and wrong
Learning how to be a man
How to take a stand

I wish i could have been there more
Wish'in you didnt have so much to Endore

Only one aunt of a few 
Wish'in there was more i could do

Your like a little brother to me
You'll make it, you'll see

So just hang on tight, 
Your future is in sight,
Dont give up without a fight

You'll do alright, you'll see
You'll always be loved by me
