Captain of your dance team,
Always singing and moving wherever you went,
We saw that you would go far
“My baby’s gonna be a star”

You were the light in a dark room
You and Jakira, your sister, your person
Straight divas on the stage
So full of joy you couldn’t contain

I know you and dad are
Up there doing okay
Dancing and laughing
And lighting the way
For me and your brother,
Jakira and LJ
We’re doing our best
we miss you everyday

You were always performing,
narrating vlogs while cooking me burgers
Strutting down the runway
Celebrating life in purple and blue
My only baby for eleven years
After you passed, I got a call
The scholarship was yours,
Now Junior has it all

I know you and dad are
Up there doing okay
Dancing and laughing
And lighting the way
For me and your brother,
Jakira and LJ
We’re doing our best
we miss you everyday

Eric, tell our baby hundreds of people came to her service
Schools still include her in graduations
Kids come up to me and say, “Erica was my only friend”
I started a foundation in her name,
and keep her alive by giving to the homeless

Our baby was a star
Our baby was a star
Our baby is my northern star

I know you and dad are
Up there doing okay
Dancing and laughing
And lighting the way
For me and your brother,
Jakira and LJ
We’re doing our best
we miss you everyday
