| I know you watching me, guiding me
|
| I know from up there it’s like you watching 'Menace to Society'
|
| Listen you was thirty-two I was only nine
|
| But I’ve learned so much with so little time
|
| Now I’m surrounded by the best of my kind
|
| We put it all together, couldn’t waist your pearls on Swine ma
|
| You taught me better
|
| You can’t protect me or expect me to not struggle n fight
|
| Cause see death is a part of life
|
| What I wouldn’t give for 1 more day wit you
|
| One last embrace n face to face wit you
|
| Explain everything that made me what I am a grown man
|
| From the ground up with my own hands
|
| Will I forget you? |
| Neva
|
| Down right angry sometimes that we ain’t here together
|
| You can feel your roots and see how strong we are
|
| Who would’ve thought we could get this far, damn I miss you
|
| (Chorus: Andre Wilson)
|
| Even though I know it’s been tough
|
| I can’t stress enough no matter what — mama I love you
|
| You’ve always been there by my side
|
| You’ve taught the wrong from the right — mama I love you
|
| Yesterday was you fifty-ninth birthday
|
| Time flew missing you in the worst way
|
| I still feel the same pain since the first day
|
| You left through death on God’s request
|
| I can’t complain through the year’s mama I’ve been stressed
|
| Through them bullets and the bad times I’ve been blessed
|
| For the times that I fail but I tried my best
|
| Able to do for my loved one’s, real success
|
| Your the source of my strength I was blessed with your gifts
|
| Your insights, your wisdom, your penmanship
|
| Fun n games, I’m doing thangs, I know you wouldn’t agree with
|
| What I drink, what I smoke, who I be with
|
| You made sure I got some love when there wasn’t none
|
| Opened up my heart showed the world where I’m coming from
|
| Your little grandson is just like your little boy
|
| Mama what you built here no man can ever destroy, your bundle of joy
|
| I’ve been through so much
|
| I lose touch and sometimes I feel that life sucks
|
| My women try to get close I push here away
|
| She wanna talk I just sit there with nothing to say
|
| Feel me its all the pain I contain on the inside
|
| You in the right place but left me at the wrong time
|
| Use to cook, clean, and sing me to sleep
|
| Now I only go to bed with my heat, damn I miss you
|
| The school of hard knocks where I learned life’s lessons
|
| With not enough answers and too many questions
|
| When you had me you gave birth to a soldier
|
| Now I’m much older now the world much colder
|
| Our lives in the hands of politicians that don’t care
|
| We ponds in the game biological warfare
|
| The family’s so spread out n disconnected
|
| Trying to hold things together put my soul on records
|
| It’s hard; |
| you know your daughter had a baby too
|
| A beautiful baby girl just another little piece of you
|
| Another branch we can add to the family tree
|
| Responsibility bringing out the man in me
|
| You ain’t a man if your not taking care of home
|
| Raise and protect my own, until they full-grown
|
| No matter how much these streets try to change me
|
| I’m never 'gon forget how you raised me
|
| I Love You, Forever
|
| (Ad Libs)
|
| Yeah, all the mothers, all the daughters, yeah, come on
|
| Sun, Moon, Earth, yeah, this for you, uh, Damn, Damn I Miss You |
