TYM |
| I just wanna thank you, Momma |
| For always holding me down |
| Even on the lonely days when no one around (Yea) |
| I just wanna thank you, Momma |
| For being there for me, planting seeds |
| Hope you like who I grew up to be |
| I just wanna thank you, Momma |
| Yea, yea, yea |
| I just wanna thank you, Momma |
| Uh |
| We never had it easy, we always made a way |
| Window shopping, cars hopping, you encouraged me to play |
| Make friends with the neighbors, bought me Raiders socks, Lakers |
| Lil' sister was her favorite, she was born five years later |
| After I showed up, all the funds slowed up |
| '84 was the year, all skill, no luck |
| On these real LA streets, where you had to be a G |
| Couldn’t wear certain colors, pay attention, follow me |
| On my side of the street, ain’t no peace |
| Belly of the beast, price of dying cheap |
| Price of livin' steep, let’s call it underneath |
| Back in those days, it was hard for me to sleep |
| Picture lil' me in a man’s world |
| Brand new apparel, eatin' Taco Bell |
| Tryna dodge shells, hoppin' over rails |
| Report card in the mail, pray I don’t fail |
| I just wanna thank you, Momma |
| For always holding me down |
| Even on the lonely days when no one around |
| I just wanna thank you, Momma |
| For being there for me, planting seeds |
| Hope you like who I grew up to be |
| I just wanna thank you, Momma |
| Yea, yea, yea |
| I just wanna thank you, Momma |
| Uh |
| Although I rarely get to reminisce |
| I often wish you and my pops could just co-exist, but then again |
| I love Dennis Hunn the 1st with all my heart |
| I came to the conclusion y’all just grew apart |
| You would sing to me sittin' in the car |
| You my movie star, took me to the park |
| Helped me get my start, even healed my scars |
| Even when I’m gone, I’m never too far |
| Although I rarely get to reminisce |
| I often wish you and my pops could just co-exist, but then again |
| Uh |
| I just wanna thank you, Momma |
| For always holding me down |
| Even on the lonely days when no one around (Yea) |
| I just wanna thank you, Momma |
| For being there for me, planting seeds |
| Hope you like who I grew up to be |
| I just wanna thank you, Momma |
| Yea, yea, yea |
| I just wanna thank you, Momma |
| Uh |
