HOOK
Another year  and  we’re all getting older
Another season passed by seems colder
Another load  weighs  down my shoulder
Maaa,  in case, I have not told ya

I got some things on my mind I gotta say ma
I appreciate everything and  the way ma,  every day ma
You raised me up …you know i  love ya
Ain’t no other that’s my mother 

Verse One: 
early on in life you made sure I got my lesson
way I used to act out had you mad stressin
they want to hold me back of course momma wouldn’t have it
if they could see me now they be like woah what happened
they were wrong I grew strong I grew up fast
I wish sometimes all those times that they could last
I left home 16 with my books packed
when I look back at all the things I couldnta had
without you raisin me patiently amazingly
way you play with freddie now i see how you played with me
every day you’d work hard but stay with me
and every night I knew you would wait with me
in the hospital obstacles plaguing me
in a room with no window you a ray to me
in fact you was my whole sun shinin radiantly
better days come you used to say to me
but didn’t fake sometimes like you saw the truth
when done talkin to you I feel like I saw a sooth
when all is said and done headin home all is through
- - - -  moms, I owe it all to you


Verse 2:  18
nurse told me how you stayed when I was concussed
i couldn’t remember a single thing that we’d discuss
I kept askin same questions but never once
did you not sincerely answer this kid you loved.
that meant a lot cause the last thing I do remember
was hearin January when I thought it was november
you had a way of dealin stuff with this air it
kept me calm when I could have been a scared kid
even laughin when I should have had fear within
I hope you smile tears of joy when you hear this
you the one in my life no there ain’t no other
just like it says on the gift that you buy your mother
what they say is so true get me through the drama
real not fake drama sorry for mistakes momma
don’t get me wrong I don’t forget all the happy times
bein as it is now this is on my mind
plus when it’s tough counts most moms you I trust
you I’m just, like so just this do I must



Verse 3,   12
people meet me and they say they notice my smile
it’s been a long road of hard times it’s been a while
it must have been how you raised me in the younger years
to keep me grounded sane underneath the recent tears
people say they like the way that I make em laugh
the way I grasp at em take and then I give back
I like to think I followed you in the right path
cant believe I teach kids the way you taught me math
I’m not suprisingly your only kid that chose rap
each and every one of us has got our own thanks
to give so consider this from the whole fam
we don’t forget big momma’s where our home’s at
