"I got too mad and I said too much
Went too far and I almost cussed
No my mama didn't raise me that way
Lord I need a little help today..."

"Daddy, can we do something when mommy gets in?"

"I need just a little more Jesus
I need just a little more Jesus
I need just a little more Jesus
I need just a little more Jesus
Hey I need just a little more Jesus
I need just a little more Jesus
To help me along my way..."

It was Sunday morning. Me an ma sweet pea was making breakfast and while singing along ta 'Erica Campbell- A little more Jesus'.

"Watchu mean when she gets in" I smirked.

Naima was eleven now and is the best thing a father could ask for. We were still living in Atlanta after all these years but still went back and forth. She didn't know Misty had gotten in last night while she was asleep so she didn't know she was upstairs.

"Isn't momma coming in today?" She looked up at me.

"Ion kno" I pulled on ma beard. "I think she might be upstairs already" I looked down at ha.

Before I could even say anything else, she took off heading upstairs.

"So ya just gon leave me ta do it all???" I yelled behind ha as I laughed a bit.

Its been one hell of a ride fa us as a family. Misty ended up spending more than six months in Australia, two years more, but it was worth it. Tha recognition and name she made fa haself was rewarding besides tha pay.

I got inta ma fashion side and created "TripleA Apparel" and that shit is legit. Dabbled in some movies and TV shows and retired early from tha music scene, but still worked behind tha scenes, producing.

Nai only started school bout a year ago. Up till then she was home schooled because of both me and Misty's schedule. When I retired, we enrolled ha in public school and she been good since.

She dances of course, and does and plays tha violin. All ha activities she does is what she wants ta do. Misty and I never forced ha ta do anything she'on want ta do.

"Morning babe"

I turned and saw Misty walking in with Nai not to far behind.

"Nai I aint send ya ta wake up ya momma"

"Its ok babe" Misty smiled "Hmmm what smells so good?"

Yea she still eats like crazy.

"I made breakfast!" Nai smiled.

"You did?" Misty kissed ha.

"So ya just gon take all tha props huh sweet pea" I shook ma head.

"Something like that" she smiled and set out tha plates.

"And whea ma kiss at?" I looked over at Misty.

"Are you deserving of one?" She smirked.

"Nah I deserve more but we ain't gon talk bout that right now" I smirked before she gave me a kiss.

"Is that right?" She blushed

Keeping in mind that Naima was right thea, we kept it G and continued with breakfast.

"So can we do something today please!" Nai begged as we finished up our breakfast.

"Baybeh ya up fa it?"
