| Momma told me one day you gon' shine like a star
|
| Just promise that you will not forget who you are
|
| Don’t forget to call me when your on your way up
|
| When your on your way up, way up
|
| Wouldn’t be here without momma
|
| I know you dropped
|
| Lots of tears for me momma
|
| Yes I know that we’ve done been through some drama
|
| But you we’re here for me momma
|
| One of the reasons I glow
|
| That’s why I’m writing this piece so you know
|
| It’s been a while since I wrote from the soul
|
| I’m in the booth with a lump in my throat, yeah
|
| And I know a lot of people never thought that i would make it
|
| I admit in a way I always felt like you related
|
| Always felt I degraded from the people that I rolled with
|
| And the people that I dated, I know that you always wanted me to get an
|
| education
|
| And it took a lot of time it was worth all the waiting
|
| You want what’s best for me
|
| But just leave the rest to me
|
| Momma told me one day you gon' shine like a star
|
| Just promise that you will not forget who you are
|
| Don’t forget to call me when your on your way up
|
| When your on your way up, way up
|
| Taught me to find balance between my head and my heart
|
| And you taught me to solve the puzzle when I’m missing a part
|
| I won’t forget to call you when I’m on my way up
|
| When I’m on my way up, way up
|
| Sorry Momma, sorry Momma
|
| Couldn’t pick up but I’m thinking of you
|
| When I’m on the road don’t be afraid
|
| Just want you to know that I’m okay
|
| Sometimes I’m away for a month maybe two
|
| I know that life can be rough so do you
|
| I need to find my own way to get through
|
| Momma told me one day you gon' shine like a star
|
| Just promise that you will not forget who you are
|
| Don’t forget to call me when your on your way up
|
| When your on your way up, way up
|
| Taught me to find balance between my head and my heart
|
| And you taught me to solve the puzzle when I’m missing a part
|
| I won’t forget to call you when I’m on my way up
|
| When I’m on my way up, way up
|
| I would’ve never been me without you
|
| You know I’m never complete without you
|
| And I won’t forget to call you when I’m on my way up, way up |
