This Is Dedicated |
| So happy, you filled me with joy |
| Thinking about what you did for your baby |
| Catching the bus in the snow on your way to work |
| Sometimes I’d walk with you to make sure you didn’t get hurt |
| Old dues flirt, but none really turned your head |
| If they was broke and walking, conversation turned dead |
| Breaking your back for them white folks every day |
| Making sure you and I had somewhere to stay |
| I remember when my great-grandmama was living |
| Senile and had to get a lot of your attention |
| You was young then but you still made time |
| She was going blind and losing her mind |
| It wasn’t nobody there but you to help her up |
| When she fell out of bed always reaching for stuff |
| You’re an angel, put on earth to watch over me |
| Thanks for watching over me, and this is dedicated… |
| I got much love for sure |
| Mama, I wish I could do more |
| You gave me life from yours |
| And I appreciate my mama |
| So I dedicate |
| I always into something—weed and women |
| 14-years-old, hustlin' and street living |
| Giving all my time trying to be a key figure |
| In the cut getting blowed with them yam selling niggas |
| You always knew I had my hands in some stickiness |
| But I respected you by keeping you out of my business |
| But all things done in the dark come to the light |
| And God would never ever let me forget the night |
| Tears rolled down your cheek and your voice trembled |
| Telling me the police just left here looking for you |
| I know you don’t want me to be a thug |
| Always asking about my friends, hearing we sell drugs |
| Rapping wasn’t paying a cent then but you understood |
| Putting up with all my mess and doing what you could |
| Not to have a nervous breakdown, worrying |
| But for all your worry, this is dedicated |
| I got much love for sure |
| Mama, I wish I could do more |
| You gave me life from yours |
| And I appreciate my mama |
| So I dedicate |
| Way back before you, and long before me |
| Long before CD’s and big-screen TV’s |
| Before Run-DMC, before the Bee Gees |
| Before Star Wars, and movies turned 3-D |
| Before hip-hop turned into cosmic slop |
| Way before cocaine boiled into a crack rock |
| Long before the first victim of a gun got shot |
| Before any superstar ever reached the top |
| Everybody has had or now has |
| Someone that they can call «momma» |
| I say, everybody has had or now has |
| Someone that they can call «momma» |
| Can you dig that? |
| I got much love for sure |
| Mama, I wish I could do more |
| You gave me life from yours |
| And I appreciate my mama |
| So I dedicate |
| Much love for sure |
| Mama, I wish I could do more |
| You gave me life from yours |
| And I appreciate my mama |
| So I dedicate |
| This is dedicated, this is dedicated to you |
| Yeah yeah, yeah, this is dedicated to you |
| Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah |
| Can you dig that? |
