"A Baby Boy's Lady Joy" lyrics

Yeah
Look
And it's Floetry

Who woulda thought your baby boy would be a star, ma?
I know we struggled, had some hard times back then, but
Look, mama, I made it, your baby boy is reachin' greatness
I seen you do wonders, so now I'll return the favor
My mind's too hard to manage, my heart's been worth the maintenance
I use your joy in cadences I write
I continue to write 'em, so I hope that you like 'em
I do thank you for writin' the story you did

Look, mama, I had some times where I got mad 'cause you told me, "Dev, clean the kitchen"
I do think that makes me less of a man
'Cause every time you had got up to work long hours and never hate your position
As a mother makes me happy to live
I'm happy God chose me as your baby boy
I'm just happy I'm made from the lady joy
Yeah, I was raised right, you did that, worth more than pats on your back
Established at that
I love you, ma, I'll never turn back, I love you
Yeah

Who woulda thought your baby boy would be a star, ma?
I know we struggled, had some hard times back then, but
Look, mama, I made it, your baby boy is reachin' greatness
I seen you do wonders, so now I'll return the favor
My mind's been hard to manage, my heart's been worth the maintenance
I use your joy in cadences I write
I continue to write 'em, so I hope that you like 'em
I do thank you for writin' the story you did (Get out, get out of here)
For your baby boy
