[00:11.606] |
My mama still workin' too hard |
[00:13.888] |
My daddy ain't doin' too well |
[00:15.858] |
My sister tryna stay above water |
[00:18.541] |
My brother keepin' faith, yeah, change comin' |
[00:21.154] |
Where there's a will, there's a way |
[00:23.145] |
Lord, I pray for better days (Better days) |
[00:25.851] |
I swear, I got of weight on me |
[00:28.495] |
I swear, I got of pain on me |
[00:31.122] |
Yeah |
[00:32.311] |

I be missin' major moments, I can't get 'em back |
[00:35.390] |
I be wastin' so much time tryna get to a bag |
[00:38.188] |
I be thinkin' 'bout the kids that a ***** should have |
[00:40.890] |
I pray to God that he forgives me for givin' 'em back |
[00:43.740] |
|
[00:43.742] |
But that's the price of fame |
[00:45.768] |
And the game that I play |
[00:49.170] |
It's gonna cost me |
[00:51.834] |
It's gonna cost me, yeah, yeah |
[00:55.030] |
|
[00:55.032] |
I'm still stuck up on my ex-girl |
[00:57.284] |
When you supposed to be my next girl |
[00:59.252] |
Can't let her go, girl, I confess, girl |
[01:01.257] |
I swear she got a hold on me |
[01:03.739] |
Damn, she got a hold on me |
[01:06.343] |
I got money but I need things money can't buy |
[01:09.167] |
I got pain but my pride won't let me cry |
[01:12.070] |
Still shakin' demons tryna kill 'em before I die |
[01:14.888] |
Oh, no, no, no |
[01:17.685] |
|
[01:17.763] |
I be missin' major moments, I can't get 'em back |
[01:20.654] |
I be wastin' so much time tryna get to a bag |
[01:23.294] |
I be thinkin' 'bout the kids that a ***** should have, oh |
[01:25.807] |
I pray to God that he forgives me for givin' 'em back |
[01:28.890] |

[01:28.892] |
But that's the price of fame |
[01:30.948] |
And the game that I play (That I play, that I play, yeah) |
[01:34.794] |
It's gonna cost me (It's gonna cost me) |
[01:37.712] |
It's gonna cost me, yeah, yeah (Oh, no, no, no) |
[01:40.340] |
It's the price of fame (Fame) |

[02:15.195] |
Growing up with Sammie as your older brother is a completely different experience than what people automatically assume it is |
[02:21.988] |
I've always wondered, you know |
[02:23.967] |
How he can balance between being the norm- his normal self |
[02:27.533] |
And then go on stage and perform in front of thousands of people |
[02:31.318] |
And take on that celebrity persona that he also has |
[02:37.454] |
I want the world to understand that my brother's a gifted man |
[02:41.027] |
He sings, he writes, he talks to God on the regular |
[02:45.510] |
Not just his musical talents, but also his natural-given gifts |
[02:50.241] |
|
[02:51.972] |
Without a brother like you, I wouldn't even be where I'm at today |
[02:56.064] |
Without you, there would be no me |
[02:58.418] |
'Cause I already know |
[02:59.798] |
You already know how it goes, Samuel |
[03:02.102] |
You not a king for nothin' |
[03:06.683] |
I love you, so much, I'm proud of you |
[03:12.777] |
Do your thing, king |
[03:15.209] |
Love |
[03:16.267] |
|
[03:22.994] |
How do you describe being |
[03:25.908] |
The mother of this amazing little boy |
[03:30.656] |
That has grown into this incredible |
[03:34.705] |
Favorite, gifted |
[03:36.851] |
Talented young man? |
[03:39.744] |
It has been one of the most rewarding gifts that God could ever bless me with |
[03:46.511] |
I am so proud of him for so many different reasons |
[03:52.380] |
But my heart bursts open with joy |
[03:54.839] |
Each and every single thing |
[03:56.606] |
Not just because his face is on the television |
[03:58.934] |
Or his voice is on the radio |
[04:02.053] |
But just the fact that he has decided |
[04:04.476] |
And made a conscious decision to pursue his dreams, his ambitions |
[04:08.204] |
And be the best at it |
[04:11.707] |
Know that mommy is always |
[04:13.788] |
Always praying for you |
[04:17.722] |
And that all of the prophecies that was blessed |
[04:21.122] |
And given to me at birth has come to pass |
[04:25.430] |
I'm so proud of you |
[04:27.889] |
I love you |
[04:28.848] |
And continue to do what you do best |
[04:32.166] |
Follow God |
[04:34.089] |
Pursue your dreams |
[04:35.936] |
And remain humble |
[04:38.385] |
Be blessed, baby |
[04:40.185] |
|
[04:42.672] |
Well, I have a whole lot to say |
[04:45.559] |
Growin' up with Sammie |
[04:46.932] |
He's a- he was a character in his- |
[04:48.422] |
In his own way |
[04:50.636] |
You know what I'm sayin'? |
[04:51.384] |
He wanted to be like me, but I always said to him |
[04:53.123] |
"Don't be like me, be, be better than me" |
[04:55.187] |
I don't think no man wants his child to be like them |
[04:58.274] |
I want them to be better than me |
[04:59.812] |
I want him to be better than me |
[05:05.637] |
I may not have been there always in body |
[05:09.040] |
But I was there in spirit |
[05:12.638] |
To try to guide him the best way I know how |
[05:16.791] |
I pray that I nev- I didn't let him down |
[05:20.039] |
And I tried to be an inspiration to him |
[05:22.625] |
And help him grow up, 'cause he had to grow up real early |
[05:26.356] |
And that's a plus |
[05:28.117] |
Always kept him in church as much, as much as I can |
[05:31.405] |
Always try to support him |
[05:33.704] |
Playin' football and basketball in school |
[05:38.471] |
And even when he start singin', I always tried to support him |
[05:41.449] |
I trust and pray that I have given him some insight |
[05:45.990] |
A solid foundation in growin' up |
[05:48.311] |
A solid foundation in his music |
[05:50.617] |
Al- always tell him, man, whatever you do |
[05:52.934] |
Before you do anything |
[05:54.699] |
Make sure you pray to God first |
[05:58.736] |
I appreciate you |
[06:00.843] |
I love you |
[06:02.018] |
Keep up the good work |
[06:03.689] |
And no matter what happens in life |
[06:06.409] |
Remember, God loves you and your daddy loves you |
[06:10.070] |
That will never change |
[06:12.291] |
Never change |
