[Intro]
The way to be, the way to be
The way to be, the way to be
The way to be, the way to be
The way to be, the way to be
[Verse 1]
Hi, I'm your big brother, my name is Joshua
Your eyes full of wonder, just want to talk to ya
'Cause you're new to the world
And I see that curious spark ignite and unfurl
Your name is Bethany, Nini for short
You like to roll around, and sometimes you snore
But it's okay, that smile makes it worth it
You brighten my days, Nini you're perfect
And your big brother, his name is Caleb
And he loves you more than anything else, baby
We love your giggles, we love your smiles
I'm hoping you don't get older for a while
But I know you will, and I'll always be here for you
Your secrets I won't spill, my secrets I'll share with ya
And when you get older, still I'll protect you
Even when you're over 50, I won't be neglecting you
[Chorus]
That's the way to be, that's the way to be
That's the way to be, that's the way to be
That's the way to be, that's the way to be
That's the way to be, that's the way to be
[Verse 2]
Woke up this morning, and it was storming
7 AM, precipitation pouring
I watched the raindrops fall from the sky
I felt my tears drop, and I wondered why
If you were with me, I'd make you some food
And you would be happy, and I would be too
But life didn't go that way, it didn't make sense
I didn't know what to say, I talked to my friends
They told me to leave it, and leave you alone
But I didn't listen, I pulled out my phone
And I sent a text, and I sent another
But you didn't reply, I had to recover
And that's what I did, and yeah it was hard
But I made it out alive, that's all thanks to God
That's thanks to my friends, that's thanks to my brother Jaycee
Now I got a win, and I got my baby
[Chorus]
That's the way to be, that's the way to be
That's the way to be, that's the way to be
That's the way to be, that's the way to be
That's the way to be, that's the way to be
[Verse 3]
Hey, I know you're scared
I know it's a big leap and you're unprepared
But God's got you and you got this, I know
You're a big boy now, need no hand to hold
Things going bad in your life right now
You wanna get out, you don't know how
But I'ma tell you one thing, you gon' make it out
Baby boy, all your joy, don't need clout
You'll fight a couple bouts with emotions
From the past, it won't last
And you not gonna crash, it'll pass, it'll pass
I promise you, you'll make it through
You'll look back on this, like I'm looking back at you now
[Chorus]
That's the way to be, that's the way to be
That's the way to be, that's the way to be
That's the way to be, that's the way to be
That's the way to be, that's the way to be
