| [00:26.68] |
When the day breaks, I display grace |
| [00:29.32] |
Through infinite takes, and heartbreaks |
| [00:32.61] |
The ground shakes, talks around race |
| [00:35.40] |
Through birth quakes, I keep my crown straight |
| [00:38.54] |
And bow face to you, it's salutations |
| [00:41.53] |
I hold you high, you brought me in creation |
| [00:44.78] |
You were patient with me dribblin' in the basement |
| [00:47.77] |
And said, "Where's your common sense, boo? Don't waste it" |
| [00:50.55] |
The pain that you had, it was hard to place it |
| [00:53.83] |
For my dad, I couldn't be a replacement |
| [00:57.00] |
I yearn for plates with catfish and collard greens |
| [01:00.21] |
You got me into school, off of Mama schemes |
| [01:03.60] |
I know I can lean, on you for anything |
| [01:06.35] |
Ain't have to want for nothing, you my everything |
| [01:09.51] |
They say we don't get to choose our mothers |
| [01:12.72] |
Somehow I know our souls chose each other |
| [01:15.83] |
Saint something, please protect this family |
| [01:21.58] |
Give cover, from the world's insanities |
| [01:28.48] |
I know you got a lot on your plate |
| [01:31.75] |
The stress is on a lot of your faith |
| [01:35.25] |
And no matter what's coming |
| [01:37.27] |
I will be there, I will be there |
| [01:39.59] |
Jesus walked across my lawn |
| [01:43.83] |
And told me you the mom I'm supposed to have |
| [01:46.76] |
Nobody in my life is as close as that |
| [01:49.72] |
If I'ma write you a song ain't no holdin' back |
| [01:52.62] |
Now, I wasn't raised in no cul-de-sac |
| [01:56.02] |
You said, "Stay in school," 'cause you ain't know I rap |
| [01:59.21] |
Teachin' me in moments I ain't know was class |
| [02:01.97] |
That's why every girl I go home with be showin' class |
| [02:05.47] |
When I show my ass, you gave me a whippin' |
| [02:08.50] |
The paradigm shifted and parentin' is different |
| [02:11.77] |
Black woman strength in search of vulnerability |
| [02:14.77] |
You did everything you could and did it willingly |
| [02:18.18] |
Instilled in me values of what a child do |
| [02:21.31] |
To say you my Ma, I'm ever so proud to |
| [02:24.26] |
You wrote me letters to get myself better |
| [02:27.26] |
I still cherish when we pray together |
| [02:30.44] |
That's a time I really feel the Lord |
| [02:33.67] |
I thank you for the your declarations and your vision board |
| [02:36.77] |
It hit a chord, when they rolled you into surgery |
| [02:40.02] |
Mama, you the sky and earth to me |
| [02:43.41] |
Saint something, please protect this family |
| [02:50.38] |
Give cover, from the world's insanities |
| [02:55.77] |
I know you got a lot on your plate |
| [02:59.05] |
The stress is on a lot of your faith |
| [03:01.78] |
And no matter what's coming |
| [03:04.39] |
I will be there, I will be there |
| [03:07.73] |
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah (Oh-oh) |
| [03:13.84] |
Ah, ah, oh, oh, ah, ah (Ooh-ooh-ooh) |
| [03:20.75] |
Ah, ah, ah, ah |
| [03:30.20] |
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |
