You remember them lonely days in momma house
Had to open the stove so we can heat the house
Candles lighting the room so we can move about
And she was working two jobs to keep food in our mouth
Over worked, underpaid, they kept her spent
But you still made time and never missed events
Double role, mother father, typical
You can try to acknowledge but you didnt really kno
The inner pain, being alone, cant sustain
It was never her fault but she took the blame
Countless hours, my league of justice, when i was in the towers
There's no wonder woman, now I see your powers
Super strength, not just physical but with in
Mom abilities, man, thats superhuman
Your weakness never showed, infact you always glowed
I just wanna say I love you if you didnt know
Momma, yea I know what you been though
Momma, just that I feel you
Momma, I'm so sorry if I hurt you
Momma, just know that I love you
Heaven sent, benevolent
A true angel of his and that's evident
There was Water in your eyes but you never wept
You stayed strong, and built a bridge when your bacx bent
No lights, were hide and seek nights
There was No food, so we wld chkN fight
I wld read your thoughts and you didnt mind
They Had you working every quarter just to make a dime
Thought it wld really hlp, if I removed myself
I started traping out the closest money in the shelf
You could smell it, but didnt know exactly where
Its was rite next to the scale in the build a bear
Out the window, making sales, through the screen
Here your footsteps coming, mom it's just Kareem
You played it coo, unaware but really knew
And for that I just wanna say I love you
Momma, yea I know what you been though
Momma, just that I feel you
Momma, I'm so sorry if I hurt you
Momma, just know that I love you
So many countless times, your needs succeeded mine
But you still put us first, and I now kno why
The love you give, have for your kids, far extends
Any love for self they can comprehend
I find it funny had kids now see the truth
I now believe you when you said, this hurts me more than you
The blue shoe, blacx belt, or bacx hand
These were just tools to use so I would understand
It took a while, couple kids but I bucxled down
Momma look at me now, I'm finna make you proud
No more schemeing, I'm thinking big, even dreaming
And I'm walking in faith, no running demons
You raised me well, even though I gave you hell
Don't mean to tattle on myself but I hope you can tell
I changed my life, turned my wrongs in to rights
Let me show you what I gained through your sacrifice
