I wouldn't be the man that I am
Or gonna be
Without your love and guidance
In the beginning
We
Bumped heads alil
Strugglin' just to make it
Understanding my greatness
Was hard you just a lady
To little boy
Plus you had little joy
Provided when we had nothing
Feelin all destroyed
All we want is food
Maybe some new shoes
Where's ya manners
All the thank you
And I love you's
I would give it all back
Not to act like that
You taught us better
To bad the world couldn't see that
Call you criminal
In front
Not behind ya back
If we were rich
It wouldn't of went down like that
But you my mama
Nights cold
We froze
Tryin to find some sheets
I know I'm older
Reminding me
That this world ain't ready
For all we see
So glad I had my momma
Guiding me
Nights cold
We froze
Tryin to find some sheets
I know I'm older
Reminding me
That this world ain't ready
For all we see
So glad I had my momma
Guiding me
I think I finally understand
What it is to be a parent
Got my son mad at me
Cuz he thinking that I'm faking
All the love that im givin
Cause he's in a broken home
But you told me to be patient
Got to find out on his own
Got some Daughters
One of em is a mother
And the other run for cover
Cuz she coming like her daddy
Oldest dealin with the illness
College grad on they ass
And I'm proud as I can be
Remember crying on ya shoulders
Til I almost fell asleep
On my dreams
And you told me
Just as far as you could see
Talking to me in my sleep
When I was down
You seen a king
And just for that
I'll promise you'll live like a queen
Thank you for risking everything
And for raising a king
Nights cold
We froze
Tryin to find some sheets
I know I'm older
Reminding me
That this world ain't ready
For all we see
So glad I had my momma
Guiding me
Nights cold
We froze
Tryin to find some sheets
I know I'm older
Reminding me
That this world ain't ready
For all we see
So glad I had my momma
Guiding me
Erik said
I wanna see the Miracles
That they wrote about in the Bible
This one challenged me
I wanted to help him see
That the simplest of miracles
Happens every time he opens his eyes
I found out then and there
When you're raising a king
You Gotta make things
Simple
Seeing greatness
Is only an open eye away
