| [02:15.195] | Growing up with Sammie as your older brother is a completely different experience than what people automatically assume it is |
| [02:21.988] | I've always wondered, you know |
| [02:23.967] | How he can balance between being the norm- his normal self |
| [02:27.533] | And then go on stage and perform in front of thousands of people |
| [02:31.318] | And take on that celebrity persona that he also has |
| [02:37.454] | I want the world to understand that my brother's a gifted man |
| [02:41.027] | He sings, he writes, he talks to God on the regular |
| [02:45.510] | Not just his musical talents, but also his natural-given gifts |
| [02:50.241] | |
| [02:51.972] | Without a brother like you, I wouldn't even be where I'm at today |
| [02:56.064] | Without you, there would be no me |
| [02:58.418] | 'Cause I already know |
| [02:59.798] | You already know how it goes, Samuel |
| [03:02.102] | You not a king for nothin' |
| [03:06.683] | I love you, so much, I'm proud of you |
| [03:12.777] | Do your thing, king |
| [03:15.209] | Love |
| [03:16.267] | |
| [03:22.994] | How do you describe being |
| [03:25.908] | The mother of this amazing little boy |
| [03:30.656] | That has grown into this incredible |
| [03:34.705] | Favorite, gifted |
| [03:36.851] | Talented young man? |
| [03:39.744] | It has been one of the most rewarding gifts that God could ever bless me with |
| [03:46.511] | I am so proud of him for so many different reasons |
| [03:52.380] | But my heart bursts open with joy |
| [03:54.839] | Each and every single thing |
| [03:56.606] | Not just because his face is on the television |
| [03:58.934] | Or his voice is on the radio |
| [04:02.053] | But just the fact that he has decided |
| [04:04.476] | And made a conscious decision to pursue his dreams, his ambitions |
| [04:08.204] | And be the best at it |
| [04:11.707] | Know that mommy is always |
| [04:13.788] | Always praying for you |
| [04:17.722] | And that all of the prophecies that was blessed |
| [04:21.122] | And given to me at birth has come to pass |
| [04:25.430] | I'm so proud of you |
| [04:27.889] | I love you |
| [04:28.848] | And continue to do what you do best |
| [04:32.166] | Follow God |
| [04:34.089] | Pursue your dreams |
| [04:35.936] | And remain humble |
| [04:38.385] | Be blessed, baby |
| [04:40.185] | |
| [04:42.672] | Well, I have a whole lot to say |
| [04:45.559] | Growin' up with Sammie |
| [04:46.932] | He's a- he was a character in his- |
| [04:48.422] | In his own way |
| [04:50.636] | You know what I'm sayin'? |
| [04:51.384] | He wanted to be like me, but I always said to him |
| [04:53.123] | "Don't be like me, be, be better than me" |
| [04:55.187] | I don't think no man wants his child to be like them |
| [04:58.274] | I want them to be better than me |
| [04:59.812] | I want him to be better than me |
| [05:05.637] | I may not have been there always in body |
| [05:09.040] | But I was there in spirit |
| [05:12.638] | To try to guide him the best way I know how |
| [05:16.791] | I pray that I nev- I didn't let him down |
| [05:20.039] | And I tried to be an inspiration to him |
| [05:22.625] | And help him grow up, 'cause he had to grow up real early |
| [05:26.356] | And that's a plus |
| [05:28.117] | Always kept him in church as much, as much as I can |
| [05:31.405] | Always try to support him |
| [05:33.704] | Playin' football and basketball in school |
| [05:38.471] | And even when he start singin', I always tried to support him |
| [05:41.449] | I trust and pray that I have given him some insight |
| [05:45.990] | A solid foundation in growin' up |
| [05:48.311] | A solid foundation in his music |
| [05:50.617] | Al- always tell him, man, whatever you do |
| [05:52.934] | Before you do anything |
| [05:54.699] | Make sure you pray to God first |
| [05:58.736] | I appreciate you |
| [06:00.843] | I love you |
| [06:02.018] | Keep up the good work |
| [06:03.689] | And no matter what happens in life |
| [06:06.409] | Remember, God loves you and your daddy loves you |
| [06:10.070] | That will never change |
| [06:12.291] | Never change |
