Yeah, listen
I can imagine if I had a little me, a new life I created
Me and mama's live vessel of inspiration, we made it
I can picture you right now, skin a milky coffee brown
And your mother's big beautiful eyes
I'm talking 'bout the blue-tinged, almond-shaped diamonds looking back at me
A smile always in 'em while you giggling happily
You're the physical embodiment, perfection that God gave
Please never forget that your conception was love created
We a couple but a family, I doubt it
We'd love to have you now but finances won't allow it
Coz there's nothing in this world that my child just won't have
We working hard at it so the struggle you don't grasp
And our lives are a testament to hers
Plus I kinda always felt that we'd be blessed with a girl
First born, so proud and you ain't even exist yet
But maybe in our hearts you've been living and baiting each breath
And right now we can't give you all you needing
Coz we building and we tryina make something you can believe in
And we doing alright but I'm knowing it's not enough yet
We gon' get there and prolly sooner than y'all expected
I must admit I get concerned how the world is
Sometimes it's not a nice place for a child to grow up in
So that's why we tryina stack paper, yeah baby
No relying on employment, want a choice where we raise ya
Uh, I bet you're talented with a passion for music
And well, it's in your blood so it's nothing to you kid
I hope you'll have a voice like your mother do
And I'll be up front in the crowd, wide-grinning coz I'm watching you
And yeah I know this sounding quite full on
But that's how I'm feeling so it's only right in a song
And I'm hoping one day that you'll hear it
And realise that you more than just special, you a blessing infinite, aaliyah
Baby girl I know that you're gonna shine
I love you so much even though you're not yet mine
Baby girl, it's just a matter of time, a matter of time
Baby girl I know that you're gonna shine
I love you so much even though you're not yet mine
Baby girl, it's just a matter of time, a matter of time
Ooooh, a matter of time
Ooooh, a matter of time
Even though you're in the future
At times I wish you were here
There's so many things I wanna teach ya
Like how to read and how to sing
I try to picture just how you'd look
Have your daddy's eyes or your mother's smile
At the end of the day it really doesn't matter
What matters is when you're here, you're in my arms
Baby girl I know that you're gonna shine
I love you so much even though you're not yet mine
Baby girl, it's just a matter of time, a matter of time
Baby girl I know that you're gonna shine
I love you so much even though you're not yet mine
Baby girl, it's just a matter of time, a matter of time
Ooooh, a matter of time
Ooooh, a matter of time
