Charlotte from Charlotte by Josh Alex
“Charlotte” is a heartfelt tribute to my Aunt Charlotte, the greatest gift of an aunt anyone could ever ask for. This song is a reflection of my journey in music, from being a little boy with big dreams in New Orleans to finding my voice and purpose through song. Every step of the way, my aunt has been my guardian—praying over me, believing in me, and protecting the dreams God placed inside me.
She used to sing to me all the time, and in those moments, I felt her heart. It was our way of connecting, and even now, she still does it. Music has always been a part of who she is, and though she may not have fulfilled her dream of becoming a professional singer, she once told me that watching me stay focused and go after my dream on stage is like seeing hers come to life.
Aunt Charlotte has always been a beacon of light and hope to everyone who crosses her path. Her love, encouragement, and unwavering faith have shaped me in ways I can never repay. “Charlotte” isn’t just a song; it’s my way of giving her flowers while she’s still here—to let her know that her impact is immeasurable, her presence is cherished, and her love is one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever received.

Lyrics
Charlotte
Big head lil boy
Gifted & handsome
Grew up in the ninth ward
Always wanted to be a star
Longed for more
Strove for perfection
It was back in the day
So I had to burn copies
Of my music on cds
Even turned my room
Into a studio
Sold a couple demos
For my drive crashed
Had a rough beginning
Yet I had
So much audacity
Within me
Found a way
To express myself
I just let the music
Leak through me
Been writing songs
Since the age of nine
Grew up in church
Doing music with
My brothers
Watching my
Grandmother sing
And I was so inspired
By my auntie
Since 93
(Charlotte)
Charlotte
Auntie Charlotte
(Charlotte)
Charlotte
Auntie Charlotte yeah
(Charlotte)
I want you to see
The impact you’ve
Had on me
From a little baby
(Years of youth to maturity)
I’ll hold your lessons
Close to heart
(They’ll never part)
Not too many have
A gift like yours
(True original)
You’re so loving
And caring I adore you
(I confess)
Your words
Stuck to me like glue
Those little moments
In my life were pivotal
You would always let me
Know you were
Proud of me
Never ever let me go
Without praying for me
Constantly manifested
Greatness yeah
You guarded my dreams
Charlotte, I gotta give
You your flowers
While you’re still here
Here, here
Still here
(You used to)
You used to sing me
A lullaby to ease
My troubled mind
My angel
That guarded my dream yeah
Oooh Tee Charlotte
(Thank you)
Thank you for
Believing in me
(Believing)
Charlotte
