[Verse] She sliced the pie with a silver knife, Said "Boy, you got fire, but you need to strive." Auntie Rosa leaned in with a wink, "Take the path that’s true, don’t let it sink." [Pre-Chorus] They stirred the sugar, stirred the flame, Every word they spoke was a song to my name. No need to rush, no need to hide— Your future’s wide, just step inside. [Chorus] Oh, sweet potato dreams, rise like a flame, You’re not alone, I’m right here with you, same. From the kitchen talk to the light in my eyes, The world’s your stage, rise up and try. Yeah, every voice, from the kitchen floor, Is lifting you higher, and I’m begging you—more! [Verse] Auntie Mae said, "Love, don’t be afraid, Even broken roads can lead to a parade." She passed the plate with a steady hand, "Your heart’s the truest compass, don’t you understand?" [Pre-Chorus] They stirred the sugar, stirred the flame, Every word they spoke was a song to my name. No need to rush, no need to hide— Your future’s wide, just step inside. [Chorus] Oh, sweet potato dreams, rise like a flame, You’re not alone, I’m right here with you, same. From the kitchen talk to the light in my eyes, The world’s your stage, rise up and try. Yeah, every voice, from the kitchen floor, Is lifting you higher, and I’m begging you—more! [Bridge] Ain’t no blueprint, aint no set design, Just love in the air and the truth in the time. Each slice of pie holds a lesson learned, But you’re the writer, the one who’s burned— Not in pain, but in fire, Still shining, still higher. [Chorus] Oh, sweet potato dreams, rise like a flame, You’re not alone, I’m right here with you, same. From the kitchen talk to the light in my eyes, The world’s your stage, rise up and try. Yeah, every voice, from the kitchen floor, Is lifting you higher, and I’m begging you—more! [Outro] So I’ll carry this warmth, this sweet, slow flame, Every auntie’s prayer, every word the same. And when the road gets long, I’ll hear them still— “Baby, you’re golden. You always will.”
