| Yeah
|
| This for you mama
|
| You did a hell of a job by yourself
|
| And I could never repay you
|
| Thank you
|
| See I was made by a woman and raised by a woman
|
| And every time I got jammed I was saved by a woman
|
| I was brought up and taught the game by a woman
|
| Everything I know I learned or it came from a woman
|
| I got fed by a single mother, a single mother
|
| Got supported by a single mother, a single mother
|
| I got raised by a single mother, a single mother
|
| Now I know the pain of a single mother, my single mother
|
| I was raised by a single mother
|
| Seen sacrifices made by my single mother
|
| Wish I could’ve traded places with my single mother
|
| Just to take the pain away from my single mother
|
| And see the face of my single mother
|
| Now I know what she went through
|
| Wish I could go back and do things that I didn’t do
|
| Ain’t have no clue about the pain when the rent was due
|
| Put this on wax 'cause I got nobody to vent to
|
| Thank god for blessing me with a woman with such strength
|
| All them school clothes added up, it wasn’t cheap
|
| Still gave me money even though I had lunch free
|
| All that shit you did and sacrificed was out of love for me
|
| And I just want you to know
|
| That I appreciate it and how much I owe
|
| You the one, you my favorite girl
|
| See I was made by a woman and raised by a woman
|
| And every time I got jammed I was saved by a woman
|
| I was brought up and taught the game by a woman
|
| Everything I know I learned or it came from a woman
|
| I got fed by a single mother, a single mother
|
| Got supported by a single mother, a single mother
|
| I got raised by a single mother, a single mother
|
| Now I know the pain of a single mother, my single mother
|
| I done hurt my single mother, lied to my single mother
|
| Got caught tryna hide shit from my single mother
|
| Wish I could go back and spend time with my single mother
|
| Chills running down my spine thinking 'bout my single mother
|
| And all I wish that I could do is
|
| Pay you back for all the times you kept it too real
|
| Never left me out to dry like my pops did
|
| Always came and got me when they locked me up for hot shit
|
| And I just wanna say thank you
|
| For every single time you held it down and you came through
|
| I’m sorry for the times that your son disobeyed you
|
| Can’t think of one thing for your son that you ain’t do
|
| And I just want you to know
|
| That ma you’re my hero
|
| Ain’t no telling where I’d be
|
| If it wasn’t for she
|
| See I was made by a woman and raised by a woman
|
| And every time I got jammed I was saved by a woman
|
| Brought up and taught the game by a woman
|
| Everything I know I learned or it came from a woman
|
| I got fed by a single mother, a single mother
|
| Got supported by a single mother, a single mother
|
| I got raised by a single mother, a single mother
|
| Now I know the pain of a single mother, my single mother |
