Pharon’s Reminder to Me

The C is for the COURAGE I possess through the drama

H is for the HURT but its all for the Honor

A is for my ATTITUDE working through the patience

Money comes and goes so the M is for MOTIVATION

Gotta Stay consistent, the P is to PERSEVERE

The I is for INTERGRITY, INNOVATIVE career

The O is OPTOMISTIC, open and never shut

And the N is NECESSARY cause I’m NEVER GIVING UP!!

See they ask me how I did it, I just did it from the heart

Crushing the competition, been doing it from the start

They say that every Champion is all about his principles– Carrie—

I am INVINCIBLE, UNBREAKABLE, UNSTOPPABLE, UNSHAKEABLE, they knock me down, I get up again……I AM A CHAMPION!!!

Ludacris & Carrie Underwood

Pharon and I for the most part enjoyed the same kind of music EXCEPT for two people who ended up collaborating to make a song that is dear to my heart now. I love love love Carrie Underwood. I am not a country music kinda girl but I can appreciate talent and this girl has it. She is the only country singer I have ever seen in concert. Pharon on the other hand could have cared less about her. He loved Ludacris. He had all the albums an knew all the lyrics to all of the songs. I could live without Luda. Some, ok most, of his music is just a bit much for me.

I had heard the song The Champion before Pharon passed. I thought it was a really good collab and liked the message. I heard it again for the first time about a week after Pharon passed away. I was getting ready for the day and I had my Apple Music on. I was exhausted and losing Pharon was still very very raw for me. When Ludacris started his rap part I fell apart. In my head I could hear Pharon rapping right long with Luda just like he always did. I felt like this is something he would say to me. Pharon wasn’t the best with compliments but I always knew that he felt as though I was a good mother to our children and he knew that no matter what was going on that I always figured it out and made it happen. This song isn’t specifically written about what I am going thru right now but I can make comparisons easily.

I know if Pharon could talk to me from heaven he would “cheer” me on to keep going. He would encourage me to never give up. He would tell me to continue to raise his children to be strong.

Brianna calls this song the morning daddy song. I told her that daddy would like this song and now she asks to listen to it in the morning on the way to school. She knows most of the words.

So as you listen to this song and hear Ludacris rap…..imagine hearing Pharon’s super deep voice rapping along.
