You always know
how to push my buttons
you never
needed a nigga for nothing
every christmas
you gave us something
a fearless woman
never running.


when i was young
it was shit i didnt understand
but you the only reason
i know how to be a man
by your side
in the kitchen
opening up some cans
when i get stuck sometimes
you always seem to have a plan.

i was your first child
we learn along the way
scared i wasn't eating
and made sure
i had a some
toys to play

you got more kids now
they look up to you
two of them not yours
but you love them
and they love you too

i swear i wanna see you happy
i just don't want them niggas
to be like my daddy
wasn't fully in the streets
but in some alleys
even flew
your family out to cali

you're more than
just a mother
i could never
ask for another
taking care
of my sister
and my brothers
doing that on own
sorry you had to suffer.

remember when
you can home
with the bad news
cried myself to sleep
wishing it wasn't true
wanna make you proud
counting all the blues
wanna give you a different life
something new

i will never leave your side
you my ride or die
never in the drama
bigger fish to fry

i asked what you want
you told me husband
feel like a nigga ain't for you
but that's just my assumption

i want a man to treat you right but i know the game
a woman like yourself shouldn't experience no more pain.
if it was fame or cancer free
i'll say fuck the fame
wanna go back in time
and be a kid again
but shit ain't never the same.

i wanna buy you a house
just like how the rappers do it
you coulda had one with
lamark but he already blew it

ain't no shade to my daddy once it's done its done.
in your eyes i'm alive
in reality you lost a son

but back to you momma
i'll always love you momma
if i did something bad
i knew how i couldn't tell you momma.

i hate when you worry
your son a man now

i was the man of the house
when that man ran out


you will always be my hero

i love you momma
i love you momma
imma say it again
i love you momma.

imma make you proud.
