Uh this real (its you that i owe)
|
I owe you (said i owe you)
|
|
They say the ones you take for granted
|
You miss the most
|
Woke up every mornin to grits and toast
|
School clothes spread
|
At the foot of the bed
|
Anything that i needed was there
|
You get it prepared (yea) (you did it for me)
|
Held it down when my pops and moms aint
|
Repay you in a way
|
That stocks and bonds caint
|
Jus think
|
Its that same little boy that used to break rules
|
Spill kool-aid on the floor
|
You was my father and my mother
|
The mother of my father
|
Known as my grandmother
|
I reffer to you as mama
|
Noone calmer or conciderit
|
As you my dear
|
Love my parents just as much
|
But lets get one thing clear
|
You raised me by choice and you didnt have to (mama)
|
Showed me where to go when i had to use the bathroom
|
Nasty thats true classy thats you (mama)
|
Id give you my last breath if i had to
|
|
[chorus:]
|
When i stop,look back think about my life
|
You gave me your love weather wrong or right
|
Ooo i owe you come on I owe you (its you that i owe)
|
When i was down and out
|
And all my friends was gone
|
You stayed by my side never left me alone
|
Ooo i owe you (its you that i owe) (i owe you) I owe you
|
(its you that i owe) (yes i do)
|
|
Bethany, Sharron hack it
|
Kept me wearing jackets
|
Started triple phat
|
Mama kept with the fashions
|
Everlasting love
|
Couldent ask enough
|
Went to school, two jobs just to have for us
|
Plus no child support, you did it on your own
|
Independent women you the queen of my throne
|
(you did it for me)
|
Condos to one bedroom we called home
|
Long as you was there i was never alone
|
Though we had our ups and downs
|
Its all up now
|
You used to wear small frowns
|
Tear them all up now (How?)
|
Did you imagine ma
|
That your son would grow up to be this handsome huh?
|
No im playn im sayn you the reason i exist
|
And for this mess you deserve pure bliss
|
Any wish ill grant it
|
Any diss ill slam it
|
You my all understand it
|
You son Nick Cannon
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Lord, heavenly father
|
I praise your soul
|
Learned to love you for myself when i was eight years old
|
Before then i didnt about your grace and mercy
|
I just knew my pops was preaching
|
While i played in the nursery
|
Then he taught me that you so loved us all
|
That you sent your only son to die on a cross
|
I once was lost but you keep finding me
|
I always fall but you keep reminding me
|
Verse john 1:9 that im right you see
|
And it'll be just fine you took a liking to me
|
Gotta let'em all know
|
You can still have fun
|
Lord in the reins rove you ride shotgun
|
Saved me in that crash
|
Blocked bullets when they blast
|
That night at the party
|
Know they got the homie
|
No you got him surely
|
And as for me if it wasnt for yall i dont know where i would be
|
|
When i stop,look back think about my life
|
You gave me your love weather wrong or right
|
Ooo i owe you come on (nobody told you to do it for me yeaaa) I owe you
|
When i was down and out
|
And all my friends was gone (you loved me)
|
You stayed by my side never left me alone
|
Ooo i owe you (oh) (your my savior) (i owe you)
|
|
When i stop, look back think about my life
|
You gave me your love weather wrong or right
|
Ooo i owe you come on (Said i owe you) i owe you (i owe you)
|
When i was down and out (said youve been so good so good to me)
|
And all my friends was gone
|
You stayed by my side never left me alone
|
Ooo i owe you i owe you
|
(Said youve been so good so good to meeeeee)
|
|
When i stop, look back think about my life
|
You gave me you love weather wrong or right
|
Ooo i owe you come on i owe you
|
When i was down and out
|
And all my friends was gone (i love you so much)
|
You stayed by my side never left me alone (i love you so much, i love you so much)
|
Ooo i owe i owe you
|
