[Intro]
|
This for you (uh) there ain't one day that go by
|
where I don't think about you (yeah)
|
This for my mother, Rest In Peace (uh)
|
To you and yours (yeah) Ride with me (uh)
|
Come on
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
I know you watching me, guiding me
|
I know from up there it's like you watching 'Menace to Society'
|
Listen you was thirty-two I was only nine
|
But I've learned so much with so little time
|
Now I'm surrounded by the best of my kind
|
We put it all together, couldn't waist your pearls on Swine ma
|
You taught me better
|
You can't protect me or expect me to not struggle n fight
|
Cause see death is a part of life
|
What I wouldn't give for 1 more day wit you
|
One last embrace n face to face wit you
|
Explain everything that made me what I am a grown man
|
From the ground up with my own hands
|
Will I forget you? Neva
|
Down right angry sometimes that we ain't here together
|
You can feel your roots and see how strong we are
|
Who would've thought we could get this far, damn I miss you
|
|
[Chorus: Andre Wilson]
|
Even though I know it's been tough
|
I can't stress enough no matter what - mama I love you
|
You've always been there by my side
|
You've taught the wrong from the right - mama I love you
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Yesterday was you fifty-ninth birthday
|
Time flew missing you in the worst way
|
I still feel the same pain since the first day
|
You left through death on God's request
|
I can't complain through the year's mama I've been stressed
|
Through them bullets and the bad times I've been blessed
|
For the times that I fail but I tried my best
|
Able to do for my loved one's, real success
|
Your the source of my strength I was blessed with your gifts
|
Your insights, your wisdom, your penmanship
|
Fun n games, I'm doing thangs, I know you wouldn't agree with
|
What I drink, what I smoke, who I be with
|
You made sure I got some love when there wasn't none
|
Opened up my heart showed the world where I'm coming from
|
Your little grandson is just like your little boy
|
Mama what you built here no man can ever destroy, your bundle of joy
|
I've been through so much
|
I lose touch and sometimes I feel that life sucks
|
My women try to get close I push here away
|
She wanna talk I just sit there with nothing to say
|
Feel me its all the pain I contain on the inside
|
You in the right place but left me at the wrong time
|
Use to cook, clean, and sing me to sleep
|
Now I only go to bed with my heat, damn I miss you
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
The school of hard knocks where I learned life's lessons
|
With not enough answers and too many questions
|
When you had me you gave birth to a soldier
|
Now I'm much older now the world much colder
|
Our lives in the hands of politicians that don't care
|
We ponds in the game biological warfare
|
The family's so spread out n disconnected
|
Trying to hold things together put my soul on records
|
It's hard; you know your daughter had a baby too
|
A beautiful baby girl just another little piece of you
|
Another branch we can add to the family tree
|
Responsibility bringing out the man in me
|
You ain't a man if your not taking care of home
|
Raise and protect my own, until they full-grown
|
No matter how much these streets try to change me
|
I'm never 'gon forget how you raised me
|
I Love You, Forever.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Ad Libs]
|
Yeah, all the mothers, all the daughters, yeah, come on
|
Sun, Moon, Earth, yeah, this for you, uh, Damn, Damn I Miss You
|
