My pops couldn't save me it's not his fault
He didn't raise me but praised me made it
This far I know it's crazy but crazy what motivates
Me
Circumstances my lady had to raise me I can't let her down
I just wanna make my momma proud
Been through the ups and the downs
All that you did for me My job is to let you see
And I'mma let you tell it

Winter baby how can I not win
With you in my corner how can I not win
You been there through it all when we didn't have it all
Showed me to remain strong God will get you through it all
Truth sit back let go marvel what he do I sit back and let go
I'm seeing what he do
I sit back and let go now I'm in the booth
Single parent odds against us now I'm off the school
For the ones that told me I wouldn't make it boy they some fools
For the ones that tried to constantly break me you couldn't bruise

Mama told me with God on your side boy you'll never lose
At-risk child they always told me I would always lose
When we really couldn't afford it you still supplied the food
When it was hard to support me that's what you always do
No matter what I do you would support me
As long as I finish school that's cool
Watch Sis I'mma make my momma proud
To my brothers I'mma make my momma proud
Watch Drew I'mma make my momma proud
To my crew I'mma make my momma proud
Watch Fam I'mma make my momma proud

Hate it or love it make my momma proud
Hate me or love me make my momma proud
Hate it or love it never would've made it

My pops couldn't save me it's not his fault
He didn't raise me but praised me made it
this far I know it's crazy but crazy what motivates me
Circumstances my lady had to raise me
I can't let her down
I just wanna make my momma proud
Been through the ups and the downs
All that you did for me My job is to let you see
And I'mma let you tell it

Eighteen years plus committed to sacrifice
Only lord knows what you did to keep on lights
Only lord knows how hard you really fight
And if I learned anything from you it's that
You always fight When you're back against the wall

And if they knock you down dust that shit off
And if they back you down show them what you was taught
I ain't no quitter fuck a quitter I ain't quitting come and get it real
Live spitter still possess a temper That'll leave you in the hospital

Nigga what you thinking? I ain't finna fucking die with you
Nigga what you thinking? I'mma be the talk of the town
That hometown hero to that teacher
That tried to put me down in front of the class
Because I love to laugh
She called me a clown I was only ten
With a face of disgust last thing she asked
Do you think you make your momma proud
Watch niggas I'mma make my momma proud
To them doubters I'mma make my momma proud
The ones that doubt it I'mma make my momma proud
Man fuck that teacher I'mma make my momma proud
12/17 I'mma make my momma proud
Hate it or love it make my momma proud
Hate me or love me make my momma proud
Hate it or love it never would've made it

My pops couldn't save me it's not his fault
He didn't raise me but praise me made it this far
I know it's crazy but crazy what motivates me?
Circumstances my lady had to raise me
I can't let her down
I just wanna make my momma proud
Been through the ups and the downs
All that you did for me My job is to let you see
And I'mma let you tell it
Watch niggas I'mma make my momma proud
Watch niggas I'mma make my momma proud
Watch niggas I'mma make my momma proud
Watch niggas I'mma make my momma proud
Watch niggas I'mma make my momma proud
Watch niggas I'mma make my momma proud
