Momma

Aye, you know what? When I started recordin' this album
I said I won't gonna do a, you know dear momma type of record
But I felt the need to 'cause I wanna express
How I feel about my momma

But at the same time I want y'all to know that
If I ever found a woman out there that
Was anythin' like my momma, **** I gotta have her

Ain't another girl on this earth like my momma
But if I find that girl I'ma make her my woman
If I find another girl like my momma
I'll give her unconditional love 'til they take me under

First things first, where do I start?
This feelin' that I'm feelin' is real, it's not a facade
The angel that I call momma was sent by God
Been through thick and thin, better times, even hard

Raisin' two boys in the ghetto weren't easy
**** was goin' wrong but she made it seem peachy
Yeah, she worked long hours whether rain and the freezin'
Pulled out the Vicks VapoRub when I was sneezin'

When the kid laid her off and the rent was past due
Mom was a O G, did what she had to, I got kicked out of school
She had to talk to my principal, yeah, she kicked my ***
But her love is unconditional, I love my momma

Ain't another girl on this earth like my momma
But if I find that girl I'ma make her my woman
If I find another girl like my momma
I'll give her unconditional love 'til they take me under

I remember my first BMX, she showed me how to ride
She used to lick her thumb to wipe the cold out my eyes
Oh yeah, I can't forget her cookin', how it stick to my ribs
She could take Spam and make a first class meal

When my nigga Steve died me and her both cried
And when I got locked up she bailed me out every time
Guess, I'll never know how she remained so strong
Received Medicaid and food stamps for so long

We were in Section 8 all the way 'til I was grown
She played both roles, king and queen of the throne
I'm not exaggeratin', not even to the slightest
This came from the heart so I ain't even have to write it
I love my momma

Ain't another girl on this earth like my momma
But if I find that girl I'ma make her my woman
If I find another girl like my momma
I'll give her unconditional love 'til they take me under
(I'ma try to stop the music one time)
(Want y'all to clap with me, come on)

Now if you love your momma clap your hands
If you love your momma clap your hands
If you love your momma clap your hands
If you love your momma clap your hands

Shorty, I brought you in this world, I'll take you out
You said it when you caught me skippin' school, makin' out
Momma you stayed down, you never faked it
Stayed by my side when they thought I wouldn't make it

And when I had a son, they said I need a job
That's when you told me, "Son, just follow your heart"
And so I did that, I went through all the drama
So I just wanna take this time to say I love you momma

Ain't another girl on this earth like my momma
But if I find that girl I'ma make her my woman
If I find another girl like my momma
I'll give her unconditional love 'til they take me under, yeah
