pertina gayle - jonathan emile lyrics

(verse 1 – jonathan emile)
i don’t care if the radio play this
grandma i got to say this
first of all i want to thank you for mother
and getting with that brother
whom i never knew grand mama who
left jamaica braced the cold
paved the road
came with soul
the rest unfold
working in the house for a minimum amount
take that money stack it in the bank account
how many floors you clean? you can’t count
jesus sees the righteous without looking at their actions
you never got board from looking at ironing board
now i’m sitting up on the board of my own company
look at what you’ve done for me

(hook – jonathan emile)
grand-mama there is nothing that i can say in words
to thank you for what you have done for us
mama i want to thank you for being so strong with love
and daddy you’re the man that i want to become
grand-mama
mama
papa
i love y’all
one love

(verse 2 – jonathan emile)
mommy stepped off the plane
daddy came back form the afro man
mommy was looking for her education
picked psychology she stayed till the gradation
and daddy was in the army
he said forget that i’m a just travel abroad g
came right back to canada
hold up i’m a have to switch it a flip the parameter
grandma worked hard in houses for rich dude
mama worked hard in the hospital too
when was smart she stacked the dough
where you think she got that from through
yo check it, but grandma went out on limb
doing like some of her kin
but yo she would win
like she was chosen
then rest would follow to shine light upon the snow
so let them know

(verse 3 – jonathan emile)
opportunity love
that’s what necessity does
cause, we struggle we fight we move on
i got to thank my grandmamma for being so strong
daddy felt racism like a barrage
growing up in québec a young black boy
good thing the army done made him that strong
mama finish work yo i was ready born
they finished their degrees but life is an education
psychology the other was law
she ended up in social work both of them
it’s funny how sometimes it works that rhythm
of life, requires sacrifice if my parents raised me twice
they could not do it better
what does this entail
the catalyst of this movement pertina g-yle

(outro – kim richardson)
gand-mama
i want to thank you mama
don’t forget papa
you know i love
i love you grand-mama
hey, yea we hold you up high thank you
ain’t no words can’t describe how much we love you
