| This is for mom
|
| Miss Linda Harwood
|
| Miss Cathy Hill
|
| This is for you
|
| I respect my mother with every step I take
|
| She was there for my first step in the first place
|
| Everybody wants out on their own
|
| Now that I’m grown, I wanna be back home
|
| In a world full of vipers
|
| Only my mother’s love was righteous
|
| I feel I’ve been to hell and back three times
|
| I could never sum it up with these rhymes
|
| Lookin' for a story to share
|
| With somebody, but they never seem to care
|
| While I’m lookin' for this person everywhere
|
| I’m slippin' 'cause my mom is right here
|
| Life moves along so fast
|
| When I see real love at last it’s past
|
| That ain’t gonna happen to me
|
| I can hear my conscience rappin' to me
|
| It’s like hey, you’ve only got one real friend
|
| From the cradle, to the grave, and back again
|
| With unconditional love
|
| That’s my mother I’m speakin' of
|
| That’s just the way it is
|
| (That's just the way it is)
|
| My love will never change
|
| (My love will never change)
|
| That’s just the way it is
|
| (That's just the way it is)
|
| (Mamma)
|
| And I know it’s true, even in my darkest time
|
| In my darkest hour when my heart is blind
|
| And I’m givin' nobody respect
|
| My mother’s there to put my ass in check
|
| 'Cause she don’t play that Mister Famous trash
|
| She was puttin' them diapers on my ass
|
| She’s seen every side of me
|
| It don’t matter how thuggish I’d try to be
|
| N.A.W. |
| every week in the back yard
|
| Now I’m in the big time, tryin' to act hard
|
| What mattered when I looked a years back
|
| Was mamma, bringin' the chairs back
|
| Supportin' every dream I got
|
| You best believe, man, I dreamed a lot
|
| Me and rude boy, I’m tryin' to tell ya
|
| Not a day goes by in life, we don’t feel ya
|
| We ain’t takin' nothin' for granted
|
| Mom’s lasagna is so good I can’t stand it
|
| Mrs. Hill always greets me with a hug
|
| Now I see where Rudy got all his love
|
| That’s just the way it is
|
| (That's just the way it is)
|
| My love will never change
|
| (My love will never change)
|
| That’s just the way it is
|
| (That's just the way it is)
|
| (Mamma)
|
| That’s just the way it is
|
| (That's just the way it is)
|
| My love will never change
|
| (My love will never change)
|
| That’s just the way it is
|
| (That's just the way it is)
|
| (Mamma)
|
| Everybody around me, they use me, and go for self
|
| They want cash, equity, bank and wealth
|
| Mom puts that on the shelf
|
| All she cares about is my health
|
| It all seems too good to be
|
| As I’m battlin' life, mamma’s backin' me
|
| And she only really wants one thing of mine
|
| Just a little time
|
| Mother, in this world of scars
|
| Money and snakes and labeled wars
|
| Whatever else life puts me through
|
| It’s all number 2, when it comes to you
|
| And your love is all I treasure
|
| My real father just didn’t measure
|
| He was gone, without a thing to say
|
| I know he would have failed in comparison anyway
|
| You gave me 3 times the love
|
| Enough for you, him, and the God above
|
| Rude boy, his daddy was strong
|
| Stayed holdin' on, when the ease was gone
|
| Now a days, everything’s all right
|
| Millionaire rockin' these microphones all night
|
| Makin' all of our dreams come true
|
| And we’re full of love, mamma thanks to you
|
| I’m still sorry about the China cabinet
|
| Wish I could bring it all back now, dammit
|
| Linda, Ron, Cathy and Ryo
|
| We want you to know that we love you
|
| That’s just the way it is
|
| (That's just the way it is)
|
| My love will never change
|
| (My love will never change)
|
| That’s just the way it is
|
| (That's just the way it is)
|
| (Mamma)
|
| That’s just the way it is
|
| (That's just the way it is)
|
| My love will never change
|
| (My love will never change)
|
| That’s just the way it is
|
| (That's just the way it is)
|
| (Mamma) |
