[Joell Ortiz, Blakk Soul - Momma lyrics]
I only love my bed and my mama, I'm sorry
That's facts
What's up, Michelle? Miss Michelle
That's what they call you 'round the way
Right? Uh
Mama's eyes seen some things that
Made her proud now fans cheer her baby name
They say it loud now her baby boy on TV
She be bugging when she see me
She be crying when she call me
When I'm touring she can't see me
Mama miss me, makes her sad
But she happy when I'm leaving
Always tells me go with God
I keep Jesus right here with me
Mama's eyes used to tear up for
A different set of reasons
We won't talk about those nights
Let's just focus on these evenings
We be watching flicks together on
Her old LED TV
Order food from anywhere or she
Chef up some baked ziti
That's my grandma recipe, we both miss her
Yes indeed we agree
Mama gon' live it up while
Granny rest in peace mama, mama
I'm emotional 'cause God keep blessing me
I stopped by, you wasn't there
Pat said you had therapy
I forgot you go and chat
With Miss Gonzalez every Tuesday
Helps you cope with all your losses and
Remind you it's a new day
Anyway, on your dresser left a
Quarter of that puré
That you liked from up in Dyckman since
The last one wasn't true haze
I'm 'bout to step in this meeting with MTV
Call me when you back at
The crib, on the fridge, i left a G
Took a while (Took a while)
To reach this type of peace we own
(Peace we own) but we're here
(But we're here) , moving forward
Loving strong all that's worth having is
Worth struggling for
We didn't have it all, but we're here to win
(yeah)
Mama, I'm so proud of you
In case you didn't know
Not the verbal type of son and
Plus I'm always on the go but see
I do talk to these beats and
So I figured I would show
How much I love you through this flow
Perform this at my show
Have every light up in the air
Until the venue starts to glow
Almost as much as your smile does
When I walk through your door
I be trying not to think about
A life without you with me
But these years is moving fast
I can't believe that you'll be 60
Please don't hit me for just screaming
Out your age into the public
But, you still look 40 something
You should love it
I remember I would wake you up
With raps while you was sleeping
Loose leaf paper in my hand
Half awoke, you said, "Keep reading"
Mama, I just got the chills
We ain't worried 'bout the bills
All the cereals is real
We ain't munching on no frills
I ain't doing drug deals
You ain't using drugs still
No more mice across the floor
You like how them rugs feel
Mama, mama, look at us
'member things was looking rough?
Daddy looked the other way
They looked at us with such disgust
But now things is looking up
So here's a song for the only face I
Saw when I looking off that bus
Took a while (Took a while)
To reach this type of peace we own
(Peace we own) but we're here
(But we're here) , moving forward
Loving strong all that's worth having is
Worth struggling for
We didn't have it all, but we're here to win
(yeah)
