|
| March 11, 1981
|
| My momma gave birth to a hell raising heavenly son
|
| And my daddy was a fool addicted to brown
|
| So he wasn’t ever around, but my momma held me down
|
| When me and big sister had nothing to eat
|
| My momma gave up her last trying to make ends meet
|
| She was a school teacher, working to provide for her fam
|
| Struggling in AA, to submit to gods plan
|
| Them long twelve’s steps of hardway are all on your own
|
| No family, few friends, my momma was all alone
|
| She did it for her children, struggling to make a living
|
| And some how we still had food on thanksgiving
|
| When I can barely talk momma taught me to pray
|
| And right then I knew that we’d have a better life some day
|
| She still give up her last just to see me smile
|
| That’s the definition of love for you child, I love my momma
|
| My momma was my role model, I had no father figure
|
| Just a bunch of pipe dreams of being richer
|
| But as times got tougher my life just got rougher
|
| It hurts so bad to see me watch my momma suffer
|
| Its so hard to cope when you so dead broke
|
| So momma used to make me memorize the song quotes
|
| In the middle of a session momma gave god praise
|
| I knew what it meant to struggle at such an early age
|
| Remember them days she barely earned minimum wage
|
| But made sure I had new cloths to start the seventh grade
|
| She met my step father, and walked down the aisle
|
| I praised he sent somebody that would make my momma smile
|
| He raised me as his own, he taught me to be a man
|
| Adopted me and anne, and gave momma a hand
|
| I just love to see that beautiful smile on momma face
|
| My momma could never be replaced, I love my momma
|
| 20 years of struggling, done came to a close
|
| No more old, torn up, and hand me down cloths
|
| She derserve the best, and never nothing less
|
| No stress, give my momma that Gucci dress
|
| The times were hard but we done made it out the rain
|
| The storm was severe but we overcame the hurricane
|
| Them rainy days seem to last so long
|
| When them times got hard my momma told me be strong
|
| My number 1 supporter ever since day one
|
| And still till this day momma would die for her son
|
| No more slumz, all them rainy days are done
|
| No a days we taking trips to Disney world just for fun
|
| I put you in a benz take you out that nova
|
| Its been a long rough road, but that bumpy rides over
|
| You raise me from a baby, my number 1 lady
|
| And until the day im in my grave, ima stay mommas baby |
