when my little brother came home he couldn't stand up on his own and i was just 11 years old he was always quiet, determined, specific, and intelligent I tried to set a good example for him now he's older than i was then he's a big, tall man looked up to by those that are younger than him when my little brother came home he was quietly-looking-around, trying to figure out-what-was-goin-down we were in the bedroom up_stairs at the old house i had never had a little brother before now he's going on college tours he's a big tall man he's mature and getting ready to be, ready to be out in the big-wide world and i didn't know then but now-i-know, growing up happens-so-fast and it doesn't last i was just a kid one minute now-i'm 28 he's as tall as me but he's still my little brother

Christmas time We came home to find A package missing We looked all around the house and couldn't figure out how it could disappear Jule took the pearls Jule took the pearls Steady on Jule is gone But I remember How we loved that wild dog and how she chose to curl up every night beside you Jule took the pearls Jule took the pearls

Long before my friends Knew what was cool I did My sisters taught me all of it When I was a kid Katherine gave me CDs Told me 'bout Jermaine Dupri Passenger seat of Katherine Carroll's Volkswagen ride She and I Out and about with the radio loud and windows down in our hometown Waiting in the line In front of Dairy Queen Katherine worked there as a teen She always had a job And always worked hard because She takes care of what she needs
