Her mother's name was Eartha
Swift as the wind

Fierce as fire

Her father's name was Victor

She grew up on Louisa Street

Chaos around but inside cozy
Small but a mansion in her eyes
Eyes eyes mansion

Never had much money

But was filthy rich
With the wealth you couldn't get from a dark casino
Or a lottery ticket
They had love

Love love

Rich in love

She had the complexion of

The complexion of a sweet praline
Hair long as the sea
Heart warm like Louisiana sun
Voice like a symphony
Of the most beautiful instruments

Beautiful

At the age of sixteen

Sixteen
She found Christ at an altar
All along he was calling her name

The gospel spoken from an old wrinkly man

Man man

She was born in New Orleans

She was born in New Orleans

She was born in New Orleans
