Love, my love.

Love Potion is

about hypnotising a boy,

like, just making him

really like you a lot,

by just looking at him,

like, not doing much,

just like, you know, looking

and a little smiling.

Love potion

Tell me how it tastes.

I got the idea from Marilyn Monroe

kind of, cos, you know...

a damsel in distress.

Like, she doesn't really have to do much

and she's, like, ditzy, kind of.

But not so much of the ditzy part,

but so much of not having to do

a lot to get the boy to like you,

like, to woo him in.

So whether it's just, like,

your eyes or just your smile

or, like, the perfume,

like, he's like, "Wow."

Like, she didn't even have to talk.

Like, I really like her.

Don't try and run away

It's already too late

And you gonna be a sad case

if you do.

Take a sip of this love potion

Tell me how it tastes.

I like to cook. I love to cook.

I want to have a catering company.

And my favourite things

is my fish cakes.

Everyone knows my fish cakes.

I got that recipe from my mother,

she got it from her mother.

That's the family secret recipe.

I'll be able to give that

to Breani for the future.

My mum is everything, like...

I wouldn't be here without her.

She got me through a lot.

Like, we argue and stuff like that,

but at the end of the day,

like, that's my mum.

She's kind of like an angel,

like the angel voice that's like...

Like sometimes, when I'm out

with my friends and stuff,

I would think, like, "OK, what would

my mum do and what'd she say?"

OK, if my mum would say no,

yeah, I'm not doing that.

Right now, I'm unemployed.

But I see Breani is getting

more and more popular,

so I'm really looking more into

getting into managing her

more seriously and marketing her

cos I think she will be a great

source of income for both of us,

cos she's... she's hungry.

She wants a better life,

I want a better life.

I know she will probably

never be a doctor or a lawyer

because she doesn't like blood.

And I'll admit she know

she may not want to, like, read

or, like, want to stay in her books

all the time,

because her mind is going,

she's a creative person.

And I know she's gonna do good.

Whether it's rapping, singing,

so... when she has

so many talents, you know?

So whatever she likes to do,

as long as she's happy doing it,

I'm there for her.

Well, my dad, I don't really

know where's he's at.

Like, I never really

knew where he lives.

Breani's dad?

Well, I don't talk about him much.

He's a deadbeat for me now.

My grandfather's like a dad to me.

Like, he taught me about everything

that a dad would teach you.

So, like, people say, like,

"Daddy's little girl."

But I'm, like, Grandpa's little girl.
