You know coming up I remember
Wishing my mom would just get off my back sometimes but
Now that I'm older I realized
She was the only one who really had my back
Never
Would I not be there
Any time my mom calls
I owe her life
For giving her life
To give me life
And twice more
I'm sorry
Ms. Jackson
For everything I put you through
Now that I'm older
I wish I would've just listened to you
But I was just living
I've learned from the mistakes I made
Know that everything you taught me
Is embedded in my brain
This is a thank you
For every sacrifice you made
For having me
For raising me
For every dinne plate you made
Times when I was down
You lifted me up
You always believed in me
Taught me to never give up
When times was hard
I never knew
You robbed Peter
To pay Paul
In fact you robbed Jack too
To make sure that we had it all
You filled the void
From the absence of my father
That's why I could never respect that man
For leaving me in your hands
Dear momma I dedicate this song to you
I love you for who you are
The mother you've been to me
And all you do and that's real
Dear momma
I dedicate this song to you
I love you for who you are
The mother you've been to me
And all you do
Momma
I made this song for you
Momma I love you
Yeah
Momma I love you
Yeah
Momma
Momma
Yes I love you
Yeah you know I do
Mom I love you
Thanks for being the only woman
In this world
Who's love never changed
Regardless to the pain
Thanks for giving me the knowledge
The skills
And the abilities
To make it as a competent being
In a world where those
Who lack them qualities get ate alive
For every time I made you cry
I apologize
You saw me moving down that dark path
Growing fond of the streets
And protected me from them cells
And maybe homicide
Momma knows
Even at times
When I thought she didn't
Didn't always have to come out wit it
I guess she could sense it
Its like she had super powers
Cause I swear she did it all
She made the impossible possible
And problems seem small
I know it was hard job
Trying to raise a man
And sacrificing your dreams
Wasn't the plan
Now that I got my own kids
I really understand
Your living proof
That women can indeed raise a man Thats real
Now that I got my own kids
I really understand
Your living proof
That women can indeed raise a man
That's real
Momma
I made this song for you
Momma I love you
Yeah
Momma I love you
Yeah
Momma
Momma
Yes I love you
Yeah you know I do
Mom I love you
A black Queen you are
Yeah
