Grandma Like Mine
Remembering Grandma's Love: A Tribute in Song
Lyrics
This ain't my last bow running til my last mile
This is not the end of my journey; I'll keep going until my final moments.
I was a class clown now I got the last smile
I used to be a class clown, but now I have the last laugh or success.
Let's go back now back when my grandma died
Reflecting on the past when my grandmother passed away.
She put some bread aside that never got passed down
She saved some money for the family, but it was never passed down to the speaker.
Yeah, everybody's getting fat now
People are prospering now, but they ignored Grandma when she struggled.
Nobody cared when grandma used to blacked out
Grandma faced difficulties, possibly related to health or other issues.
They treated my grandma just like a cash cow
Grandma was treated merely as a source of money by some.
That's the past now
Putting the past behind; the speaker acknowledges a positive change.
She's in the grass now
Grandma has passed away and is now resting in the grass.
I can see your smile above the clouds
Imagining Grandma's presence in the afterlife, symbolized by smiling above the clouds.
I hope when you looking down
Hoping to make Grandma proud with the speaker's current life.
I made you proud
Expressing the deep longing for Grandma's voice, which was a cherished memory.
I miss hearing your voice it was the sweetest sound
Feeling lost without Grandma's guidance and presence.
I was found now I'm lost cause your not around
If your grandmother is like mine, you can understand the speaker's emotions.
If your grandmas like mines you will feel my vibe
Reiteration of the shared experience for those with similar grandmothers.

Emphasizing the universal connection through shared grandmother experiences.
Yeah
Reaffirming the emotional bond with a grandparent, specifically a grandmother.
If your grandmas like mines you will feel my vibe
Continuing to emphasize the shared emotional connection with grandmothers.
I wish you was still alive rest in peace Rena Blige
Wishing Grandma was still alive and expressing condolences using Rena Blige's name.
You told me I can be what I want to be
Recalling Grandma's encouragement that the speaker could achieve any goal.
I miss your home cook meals sippin' on tea
Missing the comforting home-cooked meals and shared moments over tea.
I miss the way you used to make gumbo
Nostalgia for Grandma's skill in making gumbo, a dish that brought warmth.
When it was cold you held us close till we felt bundled
Remembering Grandma's embrace during cold times, creating a sense of security.
When you was here there was love in the air
When Grandma was present, love filled the air; now, fear is pervasive.
Now you gone all I smell everywhere is fear
Expressing a sense of closeness despite Grandma's physical absence.
I know you far but near
Despite being far away, Grandma's presence is felt and cherished.
Yeah
Reiteration of the emotional void left by Grandma's departure.
I miss playing games on the steps
Missing the joy of playing games with Grandma on the steps.
Ship sail, sail fast how many men on deck
Reflecting on childhood memories, possibly related to a ship game.
We had to guess the amount of candy you held in your palm
Recalling a game where Grandma held candy, creating fond memories.
We love you grandma you was more like a mom
Acknowledging Grandma's role as not just a grandparent but a mother figure.
But now your gone and I'm trying to hold on
Struggling to cope with Grandma's absence and attempting to preserve the bond through a song.
To make this song that let you know our bond is still strong
Expressing the enduring strength of the emotional bond with Grandma.
I miss hearing your voice it was the sweetest sound
Repeating the sentiment of missing Grandma's sweet voice.
I was found now I'm lost cause your not around
Reiterating the feeling of being lost without Grandma's presence.
