Big Mama (Unconditional Love) |
| Yeah, this one’s dedicated, to my grandmother, and your grandmother |
| It’s all love, let’s not forget who raised us, word up Big Mama, my grandmother, my main girl |
| I love you much more than the scandalous world |
| As a young boy you gave me whoopings to save my life |
| Cursed me out, to keep me out the streets at night |
| Cause my momma had me when she was young |
| So you took on the responsbility to raise your grandson |
| You taught me if a task is once begun, Todd |
| Never leave it 'til it’s done, Todd |
| Be thy labor great or small Todd |
| Do it well or not at all, God |
| Big Mama, my blood is your blood |
| When the whole world’s against me, I know I got your love |
| If I was in a cell for the rest of my life |
| I know I’d hear your prayers in the middle of the night |
| Used to sit me on your lap and teach me mother wit |
| Early Sunday morning for them salmon and grits |
| I love you baby, you the one and only, that’s a fact |
| 'Til death do us part, I’ma always have your back |
| You beefed cause you heard that I was cursin in my raps |
| Eighty-six, still you wanna run and get the straps |
| I love you, I promise you I care for you deep |
| Cause when I had bronchitis you would rock me to sleep |
| Rub me down with green alcohol |
| Little brown-skinned lady bout five feet tall, Big Mama |
| Early one Sunday morning |
| Breakfast was on the table (you gave me unconditional love) |
| There was no time to eat, she said to me Boy hurry to Sunday school (you gave me unconditional love) |
| I remember when you told me certain friends wasn’t real |
| I didn’t wanna listen, I swore I knew the deal |
| Come to find out, everything you said was true |
| Who I end up goin to for advice? |
| You |
| I love you, that’s why you got nurses and maids |
| Ever since I got paid, you ain’t never been afraid |
| That’s granddaddy wife, she taught me how to think |
| How to navigate through life, you made the sacrifice |
| You kept on livin, cause when my granddaddy died |
| It took all your might, but you ain’t quit on life |
| We took trips down South, biscuits and chicken |
| Me you granddad and Alison, trippin |
| Remember, you used to pick me up from junior high |
| And classmates laughed when the Buick rolled by Remember, I pulled my privates out in class |
| And from Farmers to Dunkirk you straight whooped my (woo!!) |
| The best cookin a man could ever taste |
| It’s written in my heart, it can never be erased |
| Thank you so much, you taught me well |
| How to not get souped up, because I’m LL |
| How to walk the street, and hold my head real high |
| How to live with Christ and not be afraid to die |
| We sipped daquiris, but you never told moms |
| We even shared beers, Big Mama my dear |
| A toast to a woman that raised a man |
| In popular demand all across the land |
| You’re my lawyer, my teacher, my doctor, my friend |
| My mother, my father, you with me 'til the end |
| I love you, I mean that from the bottom of my heart |
| That’s the reason why my record’s #1 on the charts |
| I’ma tell it like it is, I love you forever |
| Dead or alive, we’ll always be together |
| Big Mama I love you |
| I dedicate this to the Big Mama’s everywhere |
| The ones who raised us — when nobody else was there |
| The ones who held us and told us it’ll be alright |
| When gunshots was goin off every night |
| Taught us how to lock the door and check the peephole |
| And how to swallow Vicks when we had a chest cold |
| How to stay proud, and represent hard |
| Eat plenty baby, but first say grace for God |
| Big Mama, I’ma miss you |
| When one of us leave this earth |
| But baby for what it’s worth, I love you since the date of my birth |
| And if it wasn’t for my children, I would wanna go first |
| You’re the reason I’m the man I am today |
| The inspiration, for me to be LL Cool J When you told me «Knock 'Em Out,"I brought you home a Grammy |
| I learned to be tough from Big Mama and Aunt Cammy |
| A black man that was raised by black women |
| On tour, sippin your special honey and lemon |
| You told me, gargle with vinegar water and salt |
| The concert was hot, thanks to your support |
| Girl — you’re the one I love |
| Whether right here with me or smilin from up above |
| Trouble or no trouble, you always had my back |
| So I had to let you know your son appreciates that, Big Mama |
