[Verse 1: Choosey]
It must have been something in the summer's wind
Something other than the stuff that you was puffing in
I mean who wasn’t then?
But come to think about it mama wasn't touching that spliff
Jug or a cig so you probably thought you struck it rich
Rich like the color of my mothers skin
The golden touch that shine enough to make the sun squint
Papa, wonder if you was on the hunt then?
Or was you thinking more like love, wife, a couple kids?
One life to up and live
One night it wasn't that I wanted til’ I checked being a husband off the bucket list
Mama, now was you struck by the lust or of that smooth talking brother was something you weren't accustomed was it?
A mix of that and what I got to grow to know
Like when I broke a bone and you replied "I told you so"
And ya'll both from broken homes and breaking up is something ya'll just don't condone
I know
[Chorus: Ishe]
This ain't no ordinary love
It's an extraordinary love
Thankful thankful thankful thankful
The love of mi familia
[Verse 2: Choosey]
We had nothing in abundance but the love we was rich in it
The look you gave made us quit playing mid-sentence
Like a stench bad times came and went went
Life gave a lemon you split it and changed the scent with it
Gave thanks for the mere minute
Said grace for the dinner every cent went in it
How you did it ya'll was something like meal magicians
You made something out of nothing with an oven mitten
The beauty in the struggle as a unit all we knew was never buckle in the midst of it
More beautiful than rough though the usual was nothing like a Huxtable predicament
What a symbol what a sentiment
What a gift just to witness the commitment then
By the glimpse of it no one would have predicted it
The love was something infinite I don’t got to pretend it is
[Chorus: Ishe]
This ain’t no ordinary love
It's an extraordinary love
Thankful thankful thankful thankful
The love of mi familia
[Post-Chorus: Ishe]
Thankful thankful thankful
Thankful thankful thankful
Thankful thankful thankful
Thankful thankful thankful
Thankful thankful thankful
