Corissia

I was fighting my demons, I was losing my way

But my firstborn daughter, you decided to stay

Through the years of addiction and nights in that cell

You loved me through heaven and loved me through hell

You'd send me those pictures and fake paper bills

To give me a reason to heal and rebuild

Oh, Corissia, my blessing, so patient and kind

A forgiving spirit that's so hard to find

You made me a mother, a grandmother too

And honestly, baby, I owe it to you

Through my roughest of days, you weathered the storm

Sometimes I think that you raised your own mom

You were just a teen mother, but you stood up so strong

Raising your children right where they belong

You helped with my mama when she needed care

Whenever we needed you, Chris, you were there

Now a surrogate mother, a gift from above

God gave me you just to share all this love

Oh, Corissia, my blessing, so patient and kind

A forgiving spirit that's so hard to find

You made me a mother, a grandmother too

And honestly, baby, I owe it to you

Through my roughest of days, you weathered the storm

Sometimes I think that you raised your own mom

I miss all our joking, the laughs that we share

Playing pranks on the kids, just knowing you're there

You're silly and funny, protective and true

I just couldn't picture my life without you

Oh, Corissia, my blessing, so patient and kind

A forgiving spirit that's so hard to find

You made me a mother, a grandmother too

And honestly, baby, I owe it to you

Through my roughest of days, you weathered the storm

I'm so proud of you, Chris, 'cause you raised your own mom

I love you, my baby girl, love always, Mama
