P.O.F.

My mama still workin' too hard

My daddy ain't doin' too well

My sister tryna stay above water

My brother keepin' faith, yeah, change comin'

Where there's a will, there's a way

Lord, I pray for better days (Better days)

I swear, I got a lot of weight on me

I swear, I got a lot of pain on me

Yeah

I be missin' major moments, I can't get 'em back

I be wastin' so much time tryna get to a bag

I be thinkin' 'bout the kids that a nigga should have

I pray to God that he forgives me for givin' 'em back

But that's the price of fame

And the game that I play

It's gonna cost me

It's gonna cost me, yeah, yeah

I'm still stuck up on my ex-girl

When you supposed to be my next girl

Can't let her go, girl, I confess, girl

I swear she got a hold on me

Damn, she got a hold on me

I got money but I need things money can't buy

I got pain but my pride won't let me cry

Still shakin' demons tryna kill 'em before I die

Oh, no, no, no

I be missin' major moments, I can't get 'em back

I be wastin' so much time tryna get to a bag

I be thinkin' 'bout the kids that a nigga should have, oh

I pray to God that he forgives me for givin' 'em back

But that's the price of fame

And the game that I play (That I play, that I play, yeah)

It's gonna cost me (It's gonna cost me)

It's gonna cost me, yeah, yeah (Oh, no, no, no)

It's the price of fame (Fame)

And the game that I play (That I play, I play)

It's gonna cost me (Yeah)

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah

Growing up with Sammie as your older brother is a completely different experience

Than what people automatically assume it is

I've always wondered, you know

How he can balance between being the norm- his normal self

And then go on stage and perform in front of thousands of people

And take on that celebrity persona that he also has

I want the world to understand that my brother's a gifted man

He sings, he writes, he talks to God on the regular

Not just his musical talents, but also his natural-given gifts

Without a brother like you, I wouldn't even be where I'm at today

Without you, there would be no me

'Cause I already know

You already know how it goes, Samuel

You not a king for nothin'

I love you, so much, I'm proud of you

Do your thing, king

Love

How do you describe being

The mother of this amazing little boy

That has grown into this incredible

Favorite, gifted

Talented young man?

It has been one of the most rewarding gifts that God could ever bless me with

I am so proud of him for so many different reasons

But my heart bursts open with joy

Each and every single thing

Not just because his face is on the television

Or his voice is on the radio

But just the fact that he has decided

And made a conscious decision to pursue his dreams, his ambitions

And be the best at it

Know that mommy is always

Always praying for you

And that all of the prophecies that was blessed

And given to me at birth has come to pass

I'm so proud of you

I love you

And continue to do what you do best

Follow God

Pursue your dreams

And remain humble

Be blessed, baby

Well, I have a whole lot to say

Growin' up with Sammie

He's a- he was a character in his-

In his own way

You know what I'm sayin'?

He wanted to be like me, but I always said to him

"Don't be like me, be, be better than me"

I don't think no man wants his child to be like them

I want them to be better than me

I want him to be better than me

I may not have been there always in body

But I was there in spirit

To try to guide him the best way I know how

I pray that I nev- I didn't let him down

And I tried to be an inspiration to him

And help him grow up, 'cause he had to grow up real early

And that's a plus

Always kept him in church as much, as much as I can

Always try to support him

Playin' football and basketball in school

And even when he start singin', I always tried to support him

I trust and pray that I have given him some insight

A solid foundation in growin' up

A solid foundation in his music

Al- always tell him, man, whatever you do

Before you do anything

Make sure you pray to God first

I appreciate you

I love you

Keep up the good work

And no matter what happens in life

Remember, God loves you and your daddy loves you

That will never change

Never change
