Yo I wanna take this time out to dedicate this song
|
to one of the most beautiful ladies in the world
|
could never imagine
|
Yeah, Ole Mae, that's my momma, y'know
|
To one of the most beautifulest ladies in the world
|
I love ya momma, keep it strong for ya
|
|
[Chorus: repeat 2X]
|
|
My momma, used to tell me quit smoking weed
|
My momma, gave me everthing I need
|
My momma, said keep faith in God
|
My momma, momma, momma, momma, momma
|
|
[Warren G]
|
From the beginning, soon as my feet touched the earth
|
For what it's worth, she loved the boy from birth
|
Kept me fed, combed my head
|
and tapped that tail when I didn't do what she said
|
Through the years comin up momma always provided
|
And when the times got rough momma always tried to hide it
|
Divide it among us, but pardon the youngsters
|
Told us never to lie, smoke dope, and cuss
|
She stood tall and proud like a supermodel on a catwalk
|
And momma didn't take no back talk
|
She's the main reason why I roll today
|
That's why I dedicate this to Ole Mae
|
That's my momma
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Warren G]
|
As a young teenager I started to clown
|
My momma did all she could to try to slow me down
|
Tired of her son be brought by the cops
|
Sent to go stay with my pops
|
He taught me to be my own man, and when I disrespected
|
he put me out on the streets to find my own land
|
Now I'm servin on the urban street corner
|
Smokin bud, sippin Coronas in Long Beach, California
|
But I promised my momma I would make it to the top
|
And use this rap to put her in the drop
|
She the main reason why I roll today
|
That's why I dedicate this here to my Ole Mae
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Warren G]
|
As I grew up, blew up in the G-Funk Era
|
I see my momma everytime I take a look in the mirror
|
I'm thankful she gotta chance to see me shine
|
My momma's in my heart and my soul and mind
|
Controllin mine, so I can stand strong
|
For ya grandkids to let em know that ya spirit lives on
|
I really miss you, but I know ya looking over
|
Lead me on the right track, the angel's on my shoulder
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Warren G]
|
So I want y'all to treasure ya mom
|
Ya know, so if y'all got a bad relationship
|
or y'all on bad terms, patch it up
|
Ain't nothing wrong with that
|
Thats a precious jew-el
|
Remember that, we all gotta go through it
|
So stay strong, down dis, dis road, ya know
|
But I cant forget about all the poeple
|
Out there that I love, and got my back
|
So I'm gonna go ahead and im gonna shoot a shout out
|
My daddy, my sistas, my brothers, my girl, my kids
|
my cousins, my aunties, my uncles, my grandmomma
|
my granddaddy, all my homeboys, all my homegirls
|
and everybody out there that got love, knowwhatI'msaying?
|
We gotta keep it like that, we gotta keep it groovin
|
