Because you stayed

Verse 1

Yeah,

Came into work like, “What the hell’s this place?”

You clocked my mood straight off my damn face

Called me your bairn, yeah that name stayed stuck

Big sis energy saying, “You’ll be just fine, trust”

When days went sideways, head all mashed

You’d pull me aside like, “Nah, breathe, don’t crash”

Had my back heavy when the shift felt long

Turned a shit day round with a laugh and a song

Hook

That’s my big sis, yeah you already know

Laughing in the corner while the madness goes

Not mean with it, nah, just taking the piss

If I survived them shifts, it’s because of this

Because you stayed steady when I felt a mess

Because you made it lighter when life felt stress

Verse 2

We’d laugh at the nonsense, the stuff people do

Side-eye moments like, “You seeing this too?”

Never crossed lines, just humour to cope

When work got wild, yeah you gave me hope

You never talked down, never flexed that power

Still showed love even on the worst hours

Bad days hit me, yeah you stayed real calm

Talked me through it like, “Come on, you’re strong”

Verse 3

Some days I walked in already worn

Life outside work had me fucking torn

You didn’t push, didn’t need a reason

Just let me exist, let me breathe that season

Sometimes it was silence, sometimes a laugh

Sometimes, “Fuck it — you’re doing your best,” facts

That shit mattered more than you’ll ever know

Small moments like that help people grow

Hook (Repeat)

That’s my big sis, yeah forever that way

From long-ass shifts to brighter days

If I kept my head when it all felt wrong

It’s because you stood there solid and strong

Verse 4

You taught me strength ain’t shouting the loudest

It’s staying kind when the room feels crowded

You showed me leadership ain’t fear or control

It’s heart, respect, and protecting the soul

I carry that shit into who I am

How I treat people, how I give a damn

So if I move better, if I stand more tall

You had a hand in that — yeah, all in all

Bridge

Not just a supervisor, more family than that

Big sister vibes, yeah imagine that

Work was the place, but you were the reason

It felt more human, more safe, more decent

Final Hook / Outro

So here’s my respect in a rhythm and beat

For the one who made work feel less damn bleak

Still my big sis, yeah that bond ain’t gone

This rap’s just proof of the love lived on

Still your bairn, no matter the road

Some bonds don’t fade when the chapter’s closed
