Duka — Maya

Duka — Maya — lyrics

{verse}
I remember when mommy told me she was pregnant
It was 1996, you was born in ‘97
She was in the shower
I needed attention from her
Poked her head up out the curtain
Said i was gonna be a brother
And not just any brother
But a big one
Yeah, the kind a little sister could look up to
But i was only 5, wasn’t thinking ‘bout that yet
All i knew for certain is that i was gonna love you
‘cause that’s my baby sis
Look where life done brought us, yeah, it’s crazy sis
We made it through the pain and the craziness
And that was only chapter one
There’s a lot more life to live
But always know i’m right here
When it’s good, when it’s bad, i’ll be right here
Little sister, you’re my everything
And i would give up everything
Just to see you smile

{hook}
And this goes out to my little, little sister
She ain’t little no more
But i’m still bigger
So you’ll always be my little, little sister
Oh i love you

My sister

{verse}You were to little to remember daddy like he was before
Oh but i promise you were his girl
I know that ain’t the version that you knew, maya
But oh i swear to god, he loved you, maya
Growing up, i was so mad
And it killed me when i found out you was mad too
I didn’t know that you could see what i saw
I used to throw us
Because he looked like our daddy but he didn’t know us
Then on father’s day
Our daddy left but his body stayed right here
Mommy was a mess and you could tell too
I knew i had to be the one to tell you
So i told you and we cried
And i held you by my side
‘cause i’m alway by your side
I’m your brother and you’re my
Little sister
You’re my little sister
You’re my little sister
Little sister

{hook}
And this goes out to my little, little sister
You ain’t little no more
But i’m still bigger
So you will always be my little, little sister
Oh i love you
My sister

And this goes out to my little, little sister
(little, little, little)
She ain’t little no more (oh ah)
But i’m still bigger (oh ah)
So you will always be my little, little sister
(little, little, little)
Oh i love you (oh ah)
My sister

{outro}
Little sister, i see you
Oh maya, i see you
I know that it gets hard
But don’t ever let it beat you
I hope you always know i’m right here
When it’s good, when it’s bad, i’ll be right here
Little sister, you’re my everything
And i would give up everything
Just to see you smile
