| Hey ma, I know you happy that your kids are gone
|
| At the same time, a little sad cause it’s been so long
|
| Since you didn’t have one of us in the next room
|
| I often worry sometimes because it’s just you
|
| But you got so much livin' to do
|
| So much on your plate, I got a schedule to visit with you
|
| Damn, I gotta stop by and kick it with you
|
| Just sit down and talk and listen to you
|
| Eyes on the house
|
| I painted a picture for June
|
| Told him to stop by and check when I couldn’t get through
|
| I love you
|
| For raising us the way that you did mom
|
| I only hope I do the same for my kids mom
|
| No matter where I is or where I live
|
| I will be there in a minute if you in some shit
|
| Or just need to talk or borrow some cash
|
| Cause there was times you let me borrow your last
|
| I’m so grateful
|
| So thankful, hot meals on that oak table
|
| Kept my plate full, I’m amazed you
|
| Raised two kids, damn near alone
|
| I praise you, so no matter where, I’m on my way to
|
| I’ll always be close to home from the cradle to the grave
|
| I’d give my life away if it could save you
|
| I just wanna say thank you
|
| Thank you
|
| I just wanna say thank you
|
| Thank you:
|
| And even though I’m off on my own ma
|
| I’m never ever too far from home ma
|
| If you need me you get on that phone ma
|
| And I’ll be on my way
|
| Home, home
|
| And even though I’m off on my own ma
|
| I’m never ever too far from home ma
|
| If you need me you get on that phone ma
|
| And I’ll be on my way
|
| Home, home:
|
| Baby sis you in college now, that’s some crazy shit
|
| I can hear you now like, «Brother when you gon' make it rich?»
|
| You might get there first
|
| Only God and mommy might beat me if I don’t get there first
|
| Just keep goin' for yours and don’t stop at all
|
| I’m so proud of you, at the same time, not shocked at all
|
| You work hard, even if you dropped from ball
|
| You got a family that loves you and will stop it all
|
| To stop your fall, but I doubt you need it
|
| You’ve been through so much girl I don’t believe you can be defeated
|
| So, live your life but don’t do what they do
|
| The world is yours, I can’t wait to see where it takes you
|
| Some people will hate you, let them hate
|
| They want you to fall off, I say let them wait
|
| Look, to thy own self, be true, you know what that means
|
| If you need anything just get at me:
|
| And even though I’m off on my own love
|
| I’m never ever too far from home love
|
| If you need me you get on that phone love
|
| And I’ll be on my way to take you
|
| Home, home
|
| And even though I’m off on my own love
|
| I’m never ever too far from home love
|
| If you need me you get on that phone love
|
| And I’ll be on my way to take you
|
| Home, home |
