I LOVE YOU VANIYA!

lyrics

(Intro)

Verse:

Hey lil Vaniya,
how you doing?
Whatsup?
I know the stuff I talk about be kinda sounding so tough, but so what?
You can handle it!
You're smart enough, the world is rough, but you can manage it,
just lead with love and you can lean on your family.
Don't be embarrassed, ask for help when you're panicking
still learning myself, some things are constant not a fantasy
like my support and love for anything you stand to be,
such is life
I'll tell you some things you probably don't remember
Like when you were two i played guitar for you in cold December.
You cried so much but when you heard me pluck them open strings
them tears would dry, them eyes alive with thought and hopeful things.
I knew right then I'd never let you face this world alone
without the knowledge that the art can heal a broken soul.
Ill teach you know so maybe later you can teach me
so here's a lesson you can learn that we can both sing

Chorus:

Never listened to what the television told you,
Never let another person control you
You're a queen, everything that you dream you'll receive
if you fall ill be there by your side
Ces't la vie...

(Vaniya repeats)

Verse:

Hey ladybug, you know you getting so big,
I know they tell you to grow up but have fun being a kid,
the television is just fiction
turn it off so you can listen
to your heart that speaks with diction
hope you practice your addition and subtraction
make your mother happy
pick up a book to see the world inside your brain and map it.
Ill be right here for any questions that may puzzle you.
may not have all the right solutions to what troubles you.
But Imma try, such is life, you know I got your back,
Ill tell you stories when i'm bored you know I'm good at that.
Sometimes you scare me when you speak because you learn so quick.
I know the world will try to mold you to adapt to it.
But be a leader, take the harder route and carve your path.
Stay open hearted, it's cathartic when you get to laugh.
I teach you know so maybe later you can teach me,
so here's a lesson you can learn but we can both sing:

(Chorus)

I was born.
A pebble.
A pestilence.
The sickness
in the rock,
it formed
a skeleton.
Crystalized thoughts,
adorned,
with melanin.
The sands
in the clock,
They tick
and they tock,
ya dig? ... more
