Allday, Mohamed “Momo” Komba - Single Mother Song lyrics

All the days I was tripping and falling
All the slopes I was trickling down
All the days I was looking for something
I just thank God you were around
I just thank God you were around
I just thank God you were around

Got to dedicate it to my mum, Lucy
She is cool as a cucumber
Straight as Judge Judy
My dad is grand, no diss to him either
But he left when I was eight
I guess he didn't need her
Then our nuclear fam was Hiroshima
I was young and bitter
I'd give her the middle finger
Like "Fuck you", "I hate you"
"Why can’t you get me this?"
She said, "I would if I could, Tom
We’re penniless"
And she was there trying to
Turn around my negatives
Through all my broken hearts
And my many tiffs
Had a full-time job and she raised us up
And we were all bad boys like Ma$e and Puff

Couldn't have everything but she
Gave us love everything was tough
Now I can’t say thanks enough
'Cause she gave up her life to cater mine
So I want to prove it’s not a waste of time

All the days I was tripping and falling
All the slops I was trickling down
All the days I was looking for something
I just thank God you were around
I just thank God you were around
I just thank God you were around

My mum told me that in this life
Somebody wins and if you work hard you can
Be who that somebody is
My mum told me to go my own direction
So when I’d get suspended
She'd just pay it no attention
Guess she had more faith than even I did
That I would do right because she
Told me what right is
Even when we didn't have money to buy shit
She’d spend her last dollar just so
I could wear the fly shit
And I would sneak out to
Do graffiti on a weekday
She’d text me and say
"Wear your mask and be safe"
She’d even pick me up when the police came
So, I'm sorry Mum for all
The worry that I create with two parents
Things might have been different
Maybe more money
Might have had more discipline
I wouldn't change a thing though
And neither would she
Love to my mum for going singularly

All the days I was tripping and falling
All the slops I was trickling down
All the days I was looking for something
I just thank God you were around
I just thank God you were around
I just thank God you were around

Ah yeah, single mother song
Single mother song
Ah, single mother song, yeah, I love you, Mum
Ah single mother song single mother song
Single mother song, yeah, I love you, Mum
So much ah, I love you, Mum, so much
This the single mother song
