| [01:52.36] | Made me strong like you wipe these tears when I cry |
| [01:55.52] | Let your fingers wipe the cold from my eyes |
| [01:57.45] | I'm ya baby taught me to stand on my own |
| [01:59.66] | But couldn't show me some of the things I ain't know |
| [02:02.12] | You let me grow |
| [02:13.11] | Days like this momma said there would be |
| [02:15.42] | Ten centimeters dilated then you pushed me |
| [02:18.03] | Ain't psychic but been down the paths I traveled |
| [02:20.25] | Decisions are the roads in life that has no arrows |
| [02:22.89] | Became a compass I always had home as an option |
| [02:25.56] | You accomplished on your own after you were adopted |
| [02:28.25] | Knew that only you made me a stronger person |
| [02:30.82] | Not those R rated movies or those songs with curses |
| [02:33.38] | Was worth it and it shows but each day I'm annoyed |
| [02:35.98] | Working to avoid being tyrese in baby boy |
| [02:38.64] | Dated women that you didn't like friends I defended |
| [02:41.01] | You knew that girl wasn't the one and those friendships ended |
| [02:43.68] | Said your peace then let me grow |
| [02:45.28] | Head to toe let me know lessons though |
| [02:47.20] | What's best that kept me from dead below |
| [02:49.09] | Places I begged to go |
| [02:50.48] | Let me when bread was low |
| [02:51.73] | Extra dough could've said no now I'm set to go |
| [03:05.69] | You the best momma |
| [03:07.04] | You definitely better than the rest momma |
| [03:09.52] | Always did your thing to keep me freshly dressed momma |
| [03:11.82] | And not once did I ever see you stress momma |
| [03:14.49] | I'm so impressed momma |
| [03:15.79] | You was the sun on my cloudy day |
| [03:17.46] | And if you couldn't be that you would take them clouds away |
| [03:20.27] | Wow I hope you smile to what I'm bout to say |
| [03:22.76] | I love you moms and I hope I make you proud today |
| [03:25.45] | Lunches for school you would always pack the nicest |
| [03:27.84] | They was great now I appreciate them sacrifices |
| [03:30.38] | When I was wrong you would let me know |
| [03:32.47] | But at times you would let it go just so you could let me grow |
| [03:35.73] | Basketball I don't think you ever missed a game |
| [03:38.21] | If we lost you would say it's okay it's just a game |
| [03:40.89] | I owe you so much and I can never pay you back |
| [03:43.24] | But I give you music now just lay back and play the track |
| [03:46.12] | Made me strong like you wipe these tears when I cry |
| [03:49.03] | Let your fingers wipe the cold from my eyes |
| [03:50.87] | I'm ya baby taught me to stand on my own |
| [03:53.27] | But couldn't show me some of the things I ain't know |
| [03:55.71] | You let me grow |
| [04:10.32] | Send this out to all the mothers |
| [04:16.04] | Yo my version of a mother's day card a blessing from God |
| [04:19.24] | Our relationship left me permanent scarred |
| [04:21.80] | Struggled with jobs straight crazy my main lady |
| [04:24.38] | Your pockets was as broke as the promises you gave me |
| [04:27.04] | Late eighties dated men that were straight shady |
| [04:29.67] | You partied I was at the babysitters daily |
| [04:32.27] | Seen rarely stayed missing stayed riffing |
| [04:34.76] | I seen you fight the world your pops and a ** addiction |
| [04:37.41] | Contradicting on my mother I was calling |
| [04:39.86] | Ignoring grams raised your son like morning |
| [04:42.51] | Tears falling you missed the growth and progression |
| [04:45.08] | I'm at the graduation without a cheering section |
| [04:47.71] | Harsh lessons I would live it again |
| [04:49.97] | Cause all of this still made me the man that I am |
| [04:52.61] | Mother and friend forgive you for all your mistakes |
| [04:55.31] | I'm forgetting the past so let's start with a clean slate love |
