Kisha

Fifteen years old at the Agawam rink

I asked for your name, didn't know what to think

You said "Kisha!" with a little attitude

I rolled away scared, just trying to play it cool

But God gave me a second chance at the cookout

We talked on the phone till we both passed out

Eighty-nine, Frank's Pizza, two slices of sausage

Aunt Tina dropped me off, I was moving so cautious

Just waiting on that very first nervous kiss

Rehearsal for a future I didn't know would feel like this

Happy birthday to my Nubian Queen

The most beautiful journey that I've ever seen

Through every season, every scar, every tear that fell

God's grace kept us, and He kept us well

I'm celebrating fifty-two shades of beautiful

Thirty-seven years, and my heart is still full

If I had to go back to where we began

I wouldn't change our journey, I'd do it all again

October ninety-nine, we stood at the altar

A covenant sealed, and our love didn't falter

When Shanice was born, played Jodeci through the tears

"Forever My Lady" calming all of our fears

Then you gave me Jedda right on my birthday

Held on till midnight, pushing the pain away

Malik was a blessing we welcomed with open arms

Now Sophia and Zuri got Papa wrapped in their charms

With Weston James coming to complete the royal line

You fix other women's crowns, and baby, you shine

Happy birthday to my Nubian Queen

The most beautiful journey that I've ever seen

Through every season, every scar, every tear that fell

God's grace kept us, and He kept us well

I'm celebrating fifty-two shades of beautiful

Thirty-seven years, and my heart is still full

If I had to go back to where we began

I wouldn't change our journey, I'd do it all again

We had seasons we ran, moments we couldn't see

But what God joined together is our destiny

I've watched you fall down, I've watched you rise up strong

A mother, a wife, a fighter where you belong

I didn't know love at fifteen, but I know it now

I'm still choosing you, still honoring that vow

Happy birthday to my Nubian Queen

The most beautiful journey that I've ever seen

Through every season, every scar, every tear that fell

God's grace kept us, and He kept us well

I'm celebrating fifty-two shades of beautiful

Thirty-seven years, and my heart is still full

If I had to go back to where we began

I wouldn't change our journey, I'd do it all again
