Growing up with Sammie as your older brother is a completely different experience than what people automatically assume it is
I've always wondered, you know
How he can balance between being the norm- his normal self
And then go on stage and perform in front of thousands of people
And take on that celebrity persona that he also has
I want the world to understand that my brother's a gifted man
He sings, he writes, he talks to God on the regular
Not just his musical talents, but also his natural-given gifts
Without a brother like you, I wouldn't even be where I'm at today
Without you, there would be no me
'Cause I already know
You already know how it goes, Samuel
You not a king for nothin'
I love you, so much, I'm proud of you
Do your thing, king
Love
How do you describe being
The mother of this amazing little boy
That has grown into this incredible
Favorite, gifted
Talented young man?
It has been one of the most rewarding gifts that God could ever bless me with
I am so proud of him for so many different reasons
But my heart bursts open with joy
Each and every single thing
Not just because his face is on the television
Or his voice is on the radio
But just the fact that he has decided
And made a conscious decision to pursue his dreams, his ambitions
And be the best at it
Know that mommy is always
Always praying for you
And that all of the prophecies that was blessed
And given to me at birth has come to pass
I'm so proud of you
I love you
And continue to do what you do best
Follow God
Pursue your dreams
And remain humble
Be blessed, baby
Well, I have a whole lot to say
Growin' up with Sammie
He's a- he was a character in his-
In his own way
You know what I'm sayin'?
He wanted to be like me, but I always said to him
"Don't be like me, be, be better than me"
I don't think no man wants his child to be like them
I want them to be better than me
I want him to be better than me
I may not have been there always in body
But I was there in spirit
To try to guide him the best way I know how
I pray that I nev- I didn't let him down
And I tried to be an inspiration to him
And help him grow up, 'cause he had to grow up real early
And that's a plus
Always kept him in church as much, as much as I can
Always try to support him
Playin' football and basketball in school
And even when he start singin', I always tried to support him
I trust and pray that I have given him some insight
A solid foundation in growin' up
A solid foundation in his music
Al- always tell him, man, whatever you do
Before you do anything
Make sure you pray to God first
I appreciate you
I love you
Keep up the good work
And no matter what happens in life
Remember, God loves you and your daddy loves you
That will never change
Never change
