Manny’s Song
[Intro]
Reef: I love you Manny
Manny: I love you
Reef: Can you say "I love you dada?"
Manny: I love you dada
Reef: Do you love mommy?
You love Mommy?
Say "I love you mommy"
Manny: I love you mommy
Reef: Say "I love you Isaiah"
Manny: I love you Isaiah
Reef: Awwww, you the best
Manny: No, you the best
Reef: No, you the best
Manny: No, you the best
Yeah, I love you baby boy
[Verse 1]
Now, I done wrote about your brother
I wrote about your moms
But this ones just for you baby boy, this Manny's song
Only three years old but God damn you strong
And just like your daddy, you never think that you’re wrong
But you got a lot to learn, in life it's brains over brawn
And you gon' be the man of the house once I’m gone
I know that you just a baby, shit you just learning to stand
But you'll soon see there's a lot that your brother don't understand
And your momma gonna you to be there and give her a hand
That's the reason you were sent here, you're the protector in God's plan
And that's a lot to put on you, and your life is your choice
But I’m asking for you to be there, and be your brother’s voice
Make sure he's never alone, keep ’em outta harms way
See, he's special and you're special, but just in different ways
And life is gonna be hard, I wish it wasn't this way
But the day you were born, I believe that his life was saved
’Cause we won't be here forever and when we're long gone
As long as y'all have each other, you'll always be home
Some of this ain't gonna make no sense 'til you're more grown
But you got your daddy's shoulders, you were made to carry stones
[Chorus]
So, when you hear your momma speaking, you sit and hold your tongue
When you see your daddy eating, you wait until he's done
Then you listen to what he say, and take the words and run
And that's just how it's done, I'm speaking father to son
So, when you hear your momma speaking, you sit and hold your tongue
When you see your daddy eating, you wait until he's done
Then you listen to what he say, and take the words and run
And that's just how it's done, I'm speaking father to son
[Verse 2]
I love the way you smile, I love the way you dance
How you don't know the meaning of the word "can't"
I love your energy, boy you stay amped
I love the way that you love and protect your fam'
You my wild child, you the spark in this house
If you wasn't here, boy it'd get dark in this house
When we stressing over money, stressing over bills
You calm us down and remind everybody to chill
A sweetheart with a hard head and a guard's build
I love your determination, your fire and your will
You're so smart and getting quicker by the day
Man, life with you is like a new adventure every day
Now I know you wanna go hit the playground and play
But it's some things I wanna tell you 'fore I send you on your way
Just remember who you are, do exactly what you say
Love your mother, love your brother
Every night you need to pray
