Now hush, little lady Don't say a word Wipe your tears And if here's where it ends I pray you hear her life And see her smile as stars up in the sky And sing this here for any time you need a lullaby I remember you told me you wanted a baby And all i could think was Although we had seen the hardships in shit's creek We were still babies ourselves I could only hope that you and the man in your life Were ready to see the real side of growing up Diapers and Enfamil, crying and throwing up It was only sophomore year of college But i knew the Lou was calling your name And it sounded like "momma" I heard it when i came to see you and Donalda Not too long after, femininity and divinity became one And you told me it was time I remember thinking this was the craziest shit you ever said on my line I called her Little Bean From the moment she sprouted into your womb You loved her like she was already full of life She didn't have to do a thing but exist in the belly of a fellow baby Her mother and father loved her for who she allowed them to be Even when she walked the soil of St. Louis Saturated with turmoil in family ties I still called her Bean This ye high stalk of all the things you knew motherhood would bring I could see how life had new meaning to you Above anything else, you found purpose In being a better mother than the ones you had seen Something she would've thanked you for in her later years As she grew fearless and sensitive Standing tall in her stature Just like her momma did when everyone around wondered "why now?" When little bean was the topic of argument And i know that would've made you proud As we say this final "hush now" Are these mockingbirds singing to her Or to the babies we see we still are Living life in loss Shit ain't fair to live on beyond our lost ones We loved her before she was here But never fathomed having to love her when she's gone But for Bean, we'll do it anyway Now hush, little lady Don't say a word Wipe your tears And if here's where it ends I pray you hear her life And see her smile as stars up in the sky And sing this here for any time you need a lullaby Now hush, little lady Don't say a word Wipe your tears And if here's where it ends I pray you hear her life And see her smile as stars up in the sky And sing this here for any time you need a lullaby
