[Intro]
Happy mother's day, happy mother's day
[Hook]
Happy mother's day, happy mother's day
Never go against what my mother say
My mother said nothing's gonna happen like the other day
Check
Happy mother's day, happy mother's day
I never go against what my mother say
Mother said nothing's gonna happen like the other day
Without mother, know I couldn't see another way
[Verse 1]
I done ran away from home like a few times
Mama done listened to a few rhymes
Done warned me about trouble with a few dimes
Mama the reason I don't do crimes
Never let 'em hurt you, used to politic about curfews
2 jobs to work, you come home, I irk you
All the minor arguing you sit through
The queen and the king, this sh**'s true
The villain in the circle, pissing people off for my safety
Stop at [?] when the label tried to make me
A pop star stayed independent and got far
The reason why shooting for the stars was not hard
Look back to the show today, using a hot plate
Making sure I ate, if you had to, you pot scrape
And I was always tryna be a man to you
No books in my bedroom, sketching up a plan for you
And I think about now, man I like who I'm becoming
This sure compensated for my father running
I got nothing but respect for your intellect
Black woman operating like the opposite s**
I'm vexed, I see the youth, they need the truth
Not knowing that their mothers guard, you be the proof
Got blood, sweat and tears, that's why I never need a roof
Only person they aloofed before they loop
And I'm grinding, God's timing
Life's a clash, you got me prepared for my a**ignments
Anything concerning your child, you chime in
Told me I would get up in the game and now I'm in
To all the young'ns out there, listen up
The gems from the women, we can't get enough
9 times outta 10, daddy be liking up
No kid and if he near love him, be rare
Yeah and if she birth you, she wouldn't try to hurt you
Homie you the seed, let it grow you like the earth do
9 months of kicking, 18 years of stress
As a man looking back, I'm impressed
That nothing can compare to the one that brought me here on this earth
Seen my potential since birth
A true guru, my first mil will move you
Far from the blocks where we heard gunshots
My old neighbour got 100 years in the box
A childhood homie got popped
Never selling rocks
Running round thinking it's cool
But look at me mama ain't raise no fool
[Hook]
Happy mother's day, happy mother's day
Never go against what my mother say
My mother said nothing's gonna happen like the other day
Check
Happy mother's day, happy mother's day
I never go against what my mother say
Mother said nothing's gonna happen like the other day
Without mother, know I couldn't see another way
