Papoose, Kanye West, Tre Williams - Dear Momma lyrics

C'mon (Hey mama) mama mama mama mama mama
Mama mama mama mama mama
Mama mama mama mama mama
Mama mama mama mama mama

Hey Mama, ahhhhhhhhhh
I wanna scream so loud for you
Cause I'm so proud of you
Let me tell you what I'm about to do
(hey Mama) i know I act a fool
But I promise you I'm going back to school
I appreciate what you allowed for me, and I
I just want you to be proud of me (Hey mama)

I wanna tell the whole world
About a friend of mine
This little light of mine and
I'm finna let it shine
I'm finna take y'all back
To them better times
I'm finna talk about my mama
If y'all don't mind
I was three years old when you
And I moved to the Chi
Late December, harsh winter gave me a cold
You fixed me up something that
Was good for my soul
Famous homemade chicken soup
Can I have another bowl?
You work late nights just to
Keep on the lights
Mommy got me training wheels so I
Could keep on my bike
And you would give anything in this world
Michael Jackson leather and a glove
But didn't give me a curl
And you never put no man over me
And I love you for that, mommy
Can't you see? Seven years old
Caught you with tears in your eyes
'Cause a nigga cheatin', telling you lies
Then I started to cry
As we knelt on the kitchen floor
I said, "Mommy
I'ma love you 'til you don't hurt no more
And when I'm older
You ain't gotta work no more
And I'ma get you that mansion
That we couldn't afford!"
See, you're unbreakable, unmistakable
Highly capable, lady that's makin' loot
A livin' legend too
Just look at what heaven do
Send us an angel, and I thank you, Mama

(Hey Mama) , oh your son done turned into
A man living life
From the lesson straight from the
Palm of yo' hand (hey Mama)
And I know well that my words
- they just ain't strong enough
If I had to pay for yo' love
My money ain't long enough!

It's only 60 seconds in a minute
24 hours in a day
The sun rises, the sun sets & goes away
"How this day went so fast?"
Is what I thought
Only 12 months in a year - life is short
Before my time is up, you know what I'ma do?
Take this time out to say, "I love you"
Cause right after you finished
Raisin' all ya kids
You turned right around & raised foster kids
We was the first ones in
The 'hood with bunk beds
Popped me in my mouth for
Somethin' I shouldn't said
& when I caught that case, ya face turned red
You picked me up from the precinct
- I was a knucklehead
You told me when I frowned up my face & pout
"I brought you in this world, boy
I'll take you out"
Daddy's stressin' you out? You
Tired of the drama?
Divorce that fool - I'll marry you, Mama

(Hey Mama) , oh your son done turned into
A man living life
From the lesson straight from the
Palm of yo' hand (hey Mama)
And I know well that my words
- they just ain't strong enough
If I had to pay for yo' love
My money ain't long enough!
