📜 Lyrics
The way, when no one else was there, you held my hand
When I was weak, you gave me strength to stand
An' lady who taught me to be a man
I'll never forget that
Big sis', you're more like second mum
Mother's day gifts, you'll be getting a second one
Breath of fresh air, I will give you my second lung
Even when we do get it wrong we still get along
Remember when we had a cat and dog? We used to fight like cat and dog
Flickin' through the catalogue before I-
Ever had a song but now you're in my catalogue
Yeah, you take me higher than any e with a capital
You know that I'm a G, so I'ma always show you gratitude
First is, second mum, how am I gonna thank you all?
When mum wasn't here, you'd be shouting in my ear
Canon jumped into gear, it was like you had a manual
Running out of words, this ain't a chapter, it's a verse
I'll be free by your side until they trap me in a hearse
I owe you everything I earn, everything is hers
I'll write an I.O.U. 'cause what's the man without the words?
A-E-I-O-U, I vow forever
A-E-I-O-U, yes I remember
A-E-I-O-U, my best forever
A-E-I-O-U
First mum, second God
I pray we always get along
You're raising my princess, hope she reaches your echelon
I didn't know a queen had to be a king too
You worked every hour and you cooked and cleaned too
That little bit of flour made a three-course meal
That's why your hotels have always got a sea view
You were the first to give me breath
The first to help me with my steps
Even the first to call me Wretch and now they call me 3-2
Anytime I'm on the stage, man I feel your presence
If I only had a word, I'd give you half the letters
And if I ever done time, you'd do half the sentence
Lucky I never went, when I got my ass arrested
'Cause you always kept me in when I was running the streets
And anytime I came late you was gunning for me
I'm uncomfortable until you living comfortably
And I will never take a penny 'cause I love you for free
A-E-I-O-U, I vow forever
A-E-I-O-U, yes I remember
A-E-I-O-U, my best forever
A-E-I-O-U
The way, you've loved me more than I did love myself
The one that I can trust like no one else
You picked me up and carried me from hell
And I just want you to know that
A-E-I-O-U, I vow forever
A-E-I-O-U, yes I remember
A-E-I-O-U, my best forever
A-E-I-O-U
A-E-I-O-U, I vow forever
A-E-I-O-U, yes I remember
A-E-I-O-U, my best forever
A-E-I-O-U
When I was weak, you gave me strength to stand
