she d say with ladysmith black mambazo

Andy Grammer

You never got to meet your grandma did ya?
Every night, I got you kissin on her picture
Cuts me up that you will never listen
To the sweet, sweet sound of her voice
I could tell you she was quite the mixture
Of a mama and a shaman and a fiery pistol
Truth is, she s right there in you
She s a part of you, you don t have a choice

My dear, you will feel her
In your mind, you will hear her
And if she could use words, use words

She d say
You re beautiful, but don t you overplay that card
She d say
You re spiritual, so don t ever forget that part
She d say
You are so much stronger than you even think you are
Let your heart, let your heart lead the way
That s what she d say

Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo
That s what she d say
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo

She said, Take care of your sisters, I mean their whole world
Spend your days tryna lift up other girls
You came with love, a purpose, and your mother s curls
I ll be with you every step of the way, ayy
Don t live your life tryna blend in, stick out
Trust your gut and don t you get into those doubts
Remember God is like the sun, he always comes out
Just when you think the dark s here to stay

My dear, you will feel her
In your mind, you will hear her
And if she could use words, use words

She d say
You re beautiful, but don t you overplay that card
She d say
You re spiritual, so don t ever forget that part
She d say
You are so much stronger than you even think you are
Let your heart, let your heart lead the way
That s what she d say

Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo
That s what she d say
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo

She d say, Listen to your daddy
In his voice, you will hear me
I know he will sing my song to you
And know that I m happy
And you ll always have me
I m watching everything you do

She d say
You re beautiful, but don t you overplay that card
She d say
You re spiritual, so don t ever forget that part
She d say
You are so much stronger than you even think you are
Let your heart, let your heart lead the way
That s what she d say

Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo
That s what she d say
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo
