It all started back in 01
when Xzavier was born.
That's my little baby boy.
I can't live without my son.
When I'm creeping down
the street
he like legs me.
We're like compound words
We always be connected
When I'm putting on clothes
to go to the store.
You know,
he's really got that smile on his face
and you know it's lovely.
Got this twinkle in his voice,
cause he's learning to walk.
Been walking for a little while
Now he's ready to run.
Now everything in the house
will be destroyed because of him,
but that's my little baby boy
and I love him to death.
Wouldn't trade nothing in the world
just for anything else,
when he looks at me and say,
"Mama, " I feel so proud.
