Goodie Mob - Guess Who? lyrics

You 'bout to make me slam yo' back clean out
But, I luv her till death do us part
Though she divorced my pop the hard way
Back in nineteen "yassey" for
The past sixteen years
I took on the responsibility of daddy
My ol' burd puttin a real buzz in my ear
Makin sho' it marinate
And not go out the other ear
Guess who? stood beside me when y'all
Wouldn't force fed when I
Couldn't lift a spoon to my skull
God is good
God is kind mimmicin' her taught
Me how to say mine
Grace improvised wit bakin' soda when
It wasn't no toothpaste
Now what that went with? my ol'
Burd cried tears of joy
When she heard I wasn't gon'
Serve time for possession
Of the "sawed off" runnin' out of spurs
When I came home blowed and
Couldn't find the key hole, guess who
Unlocked the doors
My Ol' burd puttin' my hairs out
I better eat before you bug me to death
Shut-up you old ungrateful ass nigga
She trying to help yo' ass
I wasn't ready to eat yet but
I enjoyed the dinner she said, "I'm glad"
Slid down my esophagus wit ease
Even though she have this skin disease
That won't allow me to gain weight
Do my own eyes deceive me
Guess who tuck me in before
I started drivin this Benz
Again & again, told me not to and when I did
Guess who beat the dog shit outta me kid
My Moma didn't play, shiiit
I had to pick the switches you guess who!

My Moma, destination unknown
Went out on her own
She was barely even grown and became my Moma
I never knew my dad
So even when the times got bad
I was glad cause I had my Moma
For so long she had to be strong
I know at certain times she was wrong
But she still my Moma, it still amazes me
The Lord had to help her raise me judging
From the way I used to be my Moma
The biggest player that I know I love her so
Hell everything I got I owe to my Moma
Thank you for caring
Thank you for sharing yo' luv
I guess that was yo' way of preparing
Yo' son to be the one and not the two
To make you and my daddy's dream come true
But what a surprise a car
Wreck left you paralyzed
The sheet was pulled over yo'
Eyes when the doctor advised
The family that you might not ever talk again
But, you talkin' so I know
That you gon' walk again but take yo time
Guess who's the inspiration for
The rhyme my Moma

Who was tha first to hold you in some arms
Tha first to change your diaper
When your stomach wasn't calm your Moma
Wit that drama brought you into this world
From a world of down under
I wonder how she knew when I was lying
When I was telling the truth
With the proof she would explain
How I've been skipping school
With the boys putting welts on my
Back with the same belt
Around my waist that held my pants up
Talkin' back only got you
Closer to Southern Bell
Got your forehead swell
I swear she knew when it was real
Or when it was fake like Clampetts
With dreads and if I couldn't handle
A situation then I fled
Behind closed doors I froze
In Garnett holes I rose
Who that hell got my bond
Standing in front of that two-inch glass
A woman ready to hand the
Cash over for her son my Mama!

Sometimes we get it on
I know at times I'm wrong
Lookin' into my eyes just to let me
Know she tried is enough for me
I'm callin' a truce it seems we
More like brother and sister
Even though she pay the bills wit the mister
Brought me home in '72 and
Gave me all she had
Cause, I was left at birth
She knew it could work
Since she gave me the first
Chance my song and dance pearl, my world
What would I do without her spark
Probably be on the street wit nothin' to
Eat but I got a happy home
Ever since my first day it's
Heaven sent now I know
What it's meant when I say
I appreciate what you've done and what
You do your only son guess who?

The only one that cares for real
And really understands how I feel
Help me over come my fears and
Never left me through the years
So I dedicate this song to you
For all that you brought me through
I know there will never be another that
Will love me like my Mother
