Forever Your Love |
When the day breaks, I display grace |
Through infinite takes, and heartbreaks |
The ground shakes, talks around race |
Through birth quakes, I keep my crown straight |
And bow face to you, it’s salutations |
I hold you high, you brought me in creation |
You were patient with me dribblin' in the basement |
And said, «Where's your common sense, boo? |
Don’t waste it» |
The pain that you had, it was hard to place it |
For my dad, I couldn’t be a replacement |
I yearn for plates with catfish and collard greens |
You got me into school, off of Mama schemes |
I know I can lean, on you for anything |
Ain’t have to want for nothing, you my everything |
They say we don’t get to choose our mothers |
Somehow I know our souls chose each other |
Saint something, please protect this family |
Give cover, from the world’s insanities |
I know you got a lot on your plate |
The stress is on a lot of your faith |
And no matter what’s coming |
I will be there, I will be there |
Jesus walked across my lawn |
And told me you the mom I’m supposed to have |
Nobody in my life is as close as that |
If I’ma write you a song ain’t no holdin' back |
Now, I wasn’t raised in no cul-de-sac |
You said, «Stay in school,» 'cause you ain’t know I rap |
Teachin' me in moments I ain’t know was class |
That’s why every girl I go home with be showin' class |
When I show my ass, you gave me a whippin' |
The paradigm shifted and parentin' is different |
Black woman strength in search of vulnerability |
You did everything you could and did it willingly |
Instilled in me values of what a child do |
To say you my Ma, I’m ever so proud to |
You wrote me letters to get myself better |
I still cherish when we pray together |
That’s a time I really feel the Lord |
I thank you for the your declarations and your vision board |
It hit a chord, when they rolled you into surgery |
Mama, you the sky and earth to me |
Saint something, please protect this family |
Give cover, from the world’s insanities |
I know you got a lot on your plate |
The stress is on a lot of your faith |
And no matter what’s coming |
I will be there, I will be there |
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah (Oh-oh) |
Ah, ah, oh, oh, ah, ah (Ooh-ooh-ooh) |
Ah, ah, ah, ah |
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |
