Paul Wall - Daddy Wasn't Home lyrics

Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me
And I'm still mommas baby
Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me
And I'm still mommas baby

Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me
And I'm still mommas baby
Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me
And I'm still mommas baby

March 11, 1981 my momma gave birth to a
Hell raising heavenly son
And my daddy was a fool addicted to brown
So he wasn't ever around
But my momma held me down

When me and big sister had nothing to eat
My momma gave up her last
Trying to make ends meet
She was a school teacher
Working to provide for her fam
Struggling in AA, to submit to gods plan

Them long twelve's steps of hardway
Are all on your own no family, few friends
My momma was all alone
She did it for her children
Struggling to make a living
And some how we still
Had food on thanksgiving

When I can barely talk momma
Taught me to pray
And right then I knew that we'd
Have a better life some day
She still give up her last
Just to see me smile
That's the definition of love for you child
I love my momma

Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me
And I'm still mommas baby
Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me
And I'm still mommas baby

Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me
And I'm still mommas baby
Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me
And I'm still mommas baby

My momma was my role model
I had no father figure
Just a bunch of pipe dreams of being richer
But as times got tougher my
Life just got rougher it hurts so bad to see
Me watch my momma suffer

Its so hard to cope when you so dead broke
So momma used to make me
Memorize the song quotes
In the middle of a session
Momma gave god praise
I knew what it meant to struggle
At such an early age

Remember them days she barely
Earned minimum wage
But made sure I had new cloths
To start the seventh grade
She met my step father
And walked down the aisle
I praised he sent somebody that
Would make my momma smile

He raised me as his own
He taught me to be a man
Adopted me and anne, and gave momma a hand
I just love to see that
Beautiful smile on momma face
My momma could never be replaced
I love my momma

Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me
And I'm still mommas baby
Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me
And I'm still mommas baby

Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me
And I'm still mommas baby
Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me
And I'm still mommas baby

20 years of struggling, done came to a close
No more old, torn up, and hand me down cloths
She derserve the best, and never nothing less
No stress, give my momma that Gucci dress

The times were hard but we done
Made it out the rain
The storm was severe but
We overcame the hurricane
Them rainy days seem to last so long
When them times got hard my
Momma told me be strong

My number 1 supporter ever since day one
And still till this day momma
Would die for her son
No more slumz, all them rainy days are done
No a days we taking trips to
Disney world just for fun

I put you in a benz take you out that nova
Its been a long rough road
But that bumpy rides over
You raise me from a baby, my number 1 lady
And until the day im in my grave
Ima stay mommas baby

Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me
And I'm still mommas baby
Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me
And I'm still mommas baby

Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me
And I'm still mommas baby
Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me
And I'm still mommas baby
