[Intro]
So I would just describe him as an extraordinary human being who was very ordinary. He was my son
[Verse 1: Mozzy]
Over the years n***a shed many tears
Mama dying from her addiction, that was the biggest fear
Couldn't function for nothin' but she was there
It's evident that she cared, I recognized it in her stare
And I'm aware of the hardship, difficult times
You got a beautiful soul, it's no different from mines
Very appreciative of you giving me life
I hope you like your Mozzy chain, my n***a for life
Time of my life back when you lived in the Heights
It was dope to know that my mama was tight, pushin' white
She told me I'm a n***a, you was right mama
I been runnin' up a bag, catchin' flights mama
Behind you it ain't nothin', willin' to die, mama
I'm finna move you out the struggle, give you time mama
Behind you it ain't nothin', willin' to die, mama
I'm finna move you out the struggle, it's your live mama
[Chorus: Tank]
Mama mama, you're a star
Remember when I used to hide the work in your car
Even when I took the street shit too far
You never gave up, you just loved so hard
Mama mama, you the real
I'm on the corners every night, you know the deal
You let me have it, always showed me how you feel
Still prayed that I wouldn't get killed
You always answered that phone, when I called collect
You always let me come home, no matter how far I get
I love you and I know I haven't told you lately
My mama, my baby
Oh-whoa-oh-oh, my mama, my lady
Oh-whoa-oh-oh, my mama, my baby
Oh-whoa-oh-oh, my mama, my lady
Oh-whoa-oh-oh, my mama
[Verse 2: CellyRu]
Dear mama just like Pac, I used to sing it to her
She taught me how to win and never be a loser
It was verbal, never knew the words would abuse it
Used to say I hate her but would hate to really lose her
Kill and die for her, wouldn't even think twice
Incarcerated, missed her wedding but it'll be alright
At first, I was mad, I ain't even like dude
But as long as she happy I'ma be alright too
He said he got her if she happy then alright, cool
I tried to make it to the wedding, couldn't slide through
My mama know I tried, mama know I tried
Now that I'm older, makin' up for when I made her cry
All the times that I lied didn't help
Selfish only wanted her for myself
I wrote this for my mama to let her know how I feel
Your baby boy love you, I swear to God you the real
For real mama
[Chorus: Tank]
Mama mama, you're a star
Remember when I used to hide the work in your car
Even when I took the street shit too far
You never gave up, you just loved so hard
Mama mama, you the real
I'm on the corners every night, you know the deal
You let me have it, always showed me how you feel
Still prayed that I wouldn't get killed
You always answered that phone, when I called collect
You always let me come home, no matter how far I get
I love you and I know I haven't told you lately
My mama, my baby
Oh-whoa-oh-oh, my mama, my lady
Oh-whoa-oh-oh, my mama, my baby
Oh my baby, my baby
