| I love you, mom
|
| It’s Danny
|
| Dear mom, dear mom
|
| I hope you know that this is your song
|
| Yeah
|
| Dear mom, everything you did was worth it
|
| All the sacrifices taken when the picture wasn’t perfect
|
| I could see it in your face when I was young and all your burdens
|
| Are reminders to keep pushing when I’m working on this circuit
|
| I remember in the Canada cold
|
| Delivering papers out the trunk when I was sick, going door to door
|
| You used to say God got me, I was meant for more
|
| And that we was broke cause he was fixing what we had in store
|
| I remember that momma used to beat my ass
|
| Then I would be mad and crying while she worked a back to back
|
| Then she’d wake me up and tell me that I’d better get to class
|
| And then I graduated and she stood up and I saw her clap
|
| Mom, we used argue now I know you were right
|
| Ima tell my kids the same to be in before street lights
|
| Not to steal, do right, live, laugh, play, fight
|
| And everynight pray to God on both knees with closed eyes
|
| Everybody’s got a mom, everyone relates to this
|
| There’s no way we can repay them for the things they all did
|
| This a message to the queens around the world who go to war
|
| And sacrifice to make a better life for all of their kids
|
| Tuesday night you would drive me to practice
|
| Church on Sunday, midnight masses
|
| Pushed me hard, I couldn’t be stagnant
|
| Kept me calm despite the madness
|
| You cooked and kept me fed
|
| Then knelt and prayed beside my bed
|
| You’d whisper in my ear
|
| And I still hear those words inside my head
|
| Mom knows best
|
| Can’t talk back, can’t disrespect
|
| Can’t forget
|
| You held me in your stomach despite all the pain, all the stress
|
| Can’t neglect
|
| Laid the bricks to my success
|
| And dedicated all your time to make sure that I did my best
|
| Mom, I hope you know this is your song
|
| I hope memorize and always sing along
|
| I hope you know I know you did your best
|
| And every single step you ever took was to assure I never did no wrong
|
| Can’t nobody break this bond
|
| It’s infinite and then beyond
|
| And when they ask my reason I just say your name as my response
|
| My love for you could stretch across
|
| A 100 seas and light a galaxy
|
| I’m trying to say that can’t nobody ever turn it off
|
| Mom, thank you is not enough
|
| You’re the reason that I’m here and why I can’t give up
|
| And every single time I fall
|
| And every time I’m stuck
|
| You call me knowing something’s wrong innately and you pick me up
|
| And even when we miles away I promise we’re not out of touch
|
| Cause nothing can connect the world the way a loving mother does
|
| For all those double shifts, I saw you work, I never saw you fuss
|
| And that’s why when I’m tired I keep going cause I know must
|
| Work to ensure you get the life you deserve
|
| Dear mom, you’re an angel
|
| So again I’m saying, thank you for the memories
|
| And time I feels like heaven on earth
|
| And while I know I can’t repay you, I’m just tryna say I’m grateful
|
| For your sacrifice and love and always putting me first
|
| Mom, I hope that you take these words
|
| And never ever have think about or question your worth
|
| For all your pain and your hurt
|
| For all your struggle and work
|
| Mom, for giving me birth
|
| I want to say
|
| Dear mom, this a letter from your son
|
| Those 3 jobs you were working, yeah, they probably wasn’t fun
|
| All the weight that you were carrying, it probably weighed a ton
|
| So I made this song today to finally tell you that you done
|
| I love you, mom
|
| Dear mom, dear mom
|
| I hope you know that this is your song… |
