I thank you for the battles fought
I thank you for the life you gave that we couldn't afford
I knew when things were getting rough and you felt like caving in Mama you acted tough
We didn't even have enough but the way you reached out felt like we had it all
When everybody wrote me off
It was you who came and stopped me from giving up
So many people's lives you touched
I could brag about it and they wouldn't call it bluff
It was you who showed me how to love
Your love's overwhelming God knows I'm so engulfed
You deserve all the good stuff
I could buy you the world if I was richer than Bezos
I will pay for every billboard
Show you off so that they can see what Mama is made off
Mama I thank you cause through you God gave me life
You gave up your life so we could all just be fine
For the life you gave I wish that I can pay you back
I just wanna thank you
Thank you
Thank you
You gave birth to two every one knew
You too the weight of every who t'was heavy for you
To broken lives you came as the glue the lace to my shoes
The drug to my flu
You turned every lemon to Juice the coach to my youth
A thousand times is you that I'll choose my options are you
I thank you for seeing me through not to be screwed
You've got the best values and views your visions are true
I write a million songs for you my rhythm and blues
You gave yourself to God to be used I see what you do
You shine like the moon in darkness you bloom
I hate it when people assume your problems are few
They find it hard to remember you when doing their good
You told me that the good that you do will live after you
Your revenue in heaven is huge you saving your room
Your life of merry is long overdue
Get ready to cruise
I'm making all the money for you your life is renewed
Mama I thank you cause through you God gave me life
You gave up your life so we could all just be fine
For the life you gave I wish that I can pay you back
I just wanna thank you
Thank you
Thank you
You taught me to be prayerful
You taught me to put God first in everything I do
You taught me how to be good
You taught me how to say sorry, please, and to be thankful
You taught me not to make excuse
You told me how you hustled hard to see yourself through school
You told me no one owes you
Expect nothing back from those you have been nice to
Being perfect isn't useful
You taught me not to judge by the words of other people
You the light that we see through
That explains why you always shine with good examples
You are more than a miracle
A gift from God you kind Mama is not two
The first school that I knew
The best thing you taught to me was the bible
Mama I thank you cause through you God gave me life
You gave up your life so we could all just be fine
For the life you gave I wish that I can pay you back
I just wanna thank you
Thank you
Thank you
