I was three years old, when you and I moved to the Chi |

Late December, harsh winter gave me a cold |

Michael Jackson leather and a glove, but didn't give me a curl |

Forrest Gump mama said, "Life is like a box of chocolates" |

Give me a verse of "You Are So Beautiful To Me" |
| [02:14.44] |

Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni, turn one page and there's my mommy |
