"Mama" lyrics
Uh-uh
Mama, just in case I never told you, yeah
I love you so much, Ima show you, yeah
The game you gave me, it was so true
And I owe you...
I say, Mama, I cherish every time I hold you, yeah
See they don't know you, like I know you, yeah
You helped me grow through what we've grown through
And I owe you
Was waiting on the first of the month, not Jesus
Remember struggling, used to wonder if God sees us
Nothing in the cabinets or the fridge or the freezer
Remember when you left and sold our broom, just to feed us
Used to be embarrassed, and being bad was my therapy
I know you hate yourself, and you think that you failed me terribly
I swear that ain't the case, all the things I faced was preparing me
Without them sacrifices you made, it ain't no telling where I'd be
I got pulled over by the law and lost everything
No one to help me, not my bros or these dirty hoes
I couldn't serve my clientele, I was sick as hell
Then you found $3600 in my dirty clothes
You so one hundred, you brought it to me when you could've stole
You always said, you was my best friend... I should've known
You see ya blessings when you look at how shit could've gone
And if you thankful for yo Mama, listen to this song
Mama, just in case I never told you, yeah
I love you so much, Ima show you, yeah
The game you gave me, it was so true
And I owe you...
I say, Mama, I cherish every time I hold you, yeah
See they don't know you, like I know you, yeah
You helped me grow through what we've grown through
And I owe you
Why you crying mama? I told you, we gone be fine mama
We gone see the top, even if a nigga go blind, mama
Never gave up, because that ain't how we designed mama
In and out of rehabs, I'm happy long as you trying, mama
Remember, you stayed sober all summer, I missed them times mama
Never fronted you, you always had my back, you my spine mama
Irreplaceable, I'm forever appreciating you
Valuing everyday with you, mama, I never hated you (Ah, ah)
I've been praying since I was 8 for you
Never ever lost faith in you, super woman, you're capable
I know your past life came at you fast as a Maserati
Your baby brother got murdered, then you been dumped to Scottie
Drugs had you hooked just like Ali, tryna kick like karate
And then, ya sister get murdered, carry weight like a dolly
You got them calls, had to go to identify the bodies
Still standing strong, and I'm standing with ya, I love you mommy
Mama, just in case I never told you, yeah
I love you so much, Ima show you, yeah
The game you gave me, it was so true
And I owe you
I say, Mama, I cherish every time I hold you, yeah
See they don't know you, like I know you, yeah
You helped me grow through what we've grown through
And I owe you
We don't get our mommas forever man, they supposed to leave this earth before we do. Some people don't got they mommas no more. Some people into it with they mommas. Without them it would be no "us" man, make that right, nobody's perfect, and never be ashamed of the person that gave you life. Call that woman, just tell em you love em. You know we go through ups and downs, won't always see eye to eye, but mo matter what we go through, you know, we gotta grow through what we go through. Love you ma.
