_ _ The next song we'd [F#] like to do for [C] you, _ _ I released my first CD back in _ _ _ _ _ 2007.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _
Oh, you [F#] get it all. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] And really, _ you know when people ask me, [E] oh, you know _ your mom's [D#] a singer, you probably always knew you were gonna be a [G#] singer.
_ _ _ [A] And no, I didn't always know I was gonna be [G#] a singer.
In our family, [E] I was a dancer and mom was a singer.
[Cm] And really, it [C#] came out of, _ [B] in _ 2006, I found myself a single mom [N] _ with two beautiful girls.
And I had to figure out real quick how I was gonna pay the bills.
_ _ [G] So, I thought, [D#] hey, _ let's try this.
_ _ [E] And that's what I did.
And so those two [Dm] girls are 20 and 18 [F#]
now.
They're old.
[G] _ [C] One of them you met.
[E] _ And [Dm] this song was one of the [E] songs that really started it off for us.
A song that was written [B] for my [C#] sister Kahulu. _ _ _
_ Labakua means [A] backbone. _
_ Your backbone, _ the strength, [D#] the one that holds it all together. _
And so we'd like to sing this [Em] song to you this evening.
