Mama I know that it hasn’t always been easy / to try and bring up a fine young person in these days / cause no one has all the answers / and I may not have the life that you said you wanted for me / but mama I’m doing all right / cuz I walk with my held high / knowing that deep inside there’s love, there’s love, there’s love / and even when I feel alone I use the strength you’ve shown to carry on, carry on /

And dear mama I love you, happy birthday / everyday from your best to your worst days / it’s cuz of you I’m doing music in the first place / slowing up the flow so you can know what all the words say / since I was 3 years old, my first memories of home / was of you proving to me that I’d never be alone / so if I ever could repay you, I’d bring you a throne / cuz you’re a queen and I can see that Jesus keeps your soul / you’re much richer than this worldly materialism / a blessing given while I’m trying to make music a living / and what I find, I know you’re gonna find three fold / I swear to God I’m never gonna let you be broke / no mater what you’ll find a truth in all my promises / I wish you health and piece of mind in your accomplishments / you know what honest is, I hope you’re fond of this / because there’s nobody in the world quite like my mama is /

C: From dusk to the dawn / sun to the storm / from heaven to the earth and every angel that’s beyond / when the troubles come through all millenniums / mama is my rock / I’m telling everyone / from sickness through health / from poor unto wealth / when everything tries to keep me down on myself / there ain’t nobody else / I don’t need no one’s help / mama is my rock / and so I hope it’s felt /

When I was a little child, you always saw the best in me / told me not to cheat or lie / never beg and always say please / and life’s not always easy but you got to follow your heart / even if it’s back to the start / even if you fall apart / know this, the sun will always shine / even after the darkest of the night, darkest of the night / baby don’t you let your eyes get too accustomed to the light /

I know I’m troublesome and I apologize / but then you’re only young once until the moment dies / and I can’t live my whole life locked inside disguise / but mama through your eyes I feel immortalized / like I can do anything I put my mind to / and past mistakes you make will only be behind you / so move forward through the trials and tribulations that / can only bring you patience that can teach the wisdom that in hindsight has to make you laugh / mama I’ma claim to that / no matter where my journeys take me, I’ma make it back / much wiser plus much more stronger / I love you more than life itself if life spans expanded longer / I promise you the world starting off with California / bountiful gardens in your name that I just have to show ya / it’s why I’m rapping for ya, cuz after all of this / there’s no body in this world quite like my mama is /
