Roses 4 Rose Lyrics

Dear Momma

Dear Mom

Thank you momma for all of the things that you've done for me

If not for you, I don't know what would have become of me

I don't think you understand what your love does for me

It warms me up, brightens my day you like the sun to me

I had my times, I was out of line, it was kinda dumb of me

You've been so kind, and so sublime momma, that I appreciate ya

Always by my side, all of my life momma, there ain't no one greater

You literally shed yo sweat, tears and blood for me

Thank you momma for all of the things that you've done for me

If not for you, I don't know what would have become of me

I don't think you understand what your love does for me

It warms me up, brightens my day you like the sun to me

I had my times, I was out of line, it was kinda dumb of me

You've been so kind, and so sublime momma, that I appreciate ya

Always by my side, all of my life momma, there ain't no one greater

You literally shed yo sweat, tears and blood for me

Sweat, tears and blood for me

Sweat, tears and blood

I'm happy when you happy ya smile is what I love to see

You've always been a Queen, and ya style is like a honey bee

Inspired me to music now I use it as our money tree

You've always been a hustla chick, you Rose from Ayiti

That's where I got the fight in me, you instilled a light in me

You said I was fine to be true to who I'd like to be

You knew who was right for me, knew who'd try to lie to me

You always cooked the best food, legume with rice and beans

I grew right inside of you, birthed me back in Ninety-One

Had Jeff in Ninety-Three and Rogina back in Ninety-Nine

Raised us with tender, love and care and you did mighty fine

Working nine to fives making sure we were all alright

It's only right that I write this tribute for ya contributions

Never had an issue where you ain't had the right solution

Even before I was institutionalized, judged and

Scrutinized, you stayed by my side, with you I survived

Biggest supporter in my life, with no surprise

Commissary was looking like it was super sized

You knew I would rise, high above the skies

You spoke it to existence, I seen it with my eyes

Momma so wise, sorry I made you cry

By bringing all that drama in our lives

Sorry you took the time just to drive all the way to West

Bumbafuq just to see ya son alive

Momma, y'know you helped me climb up out of them trenches

You graced me with way too many second chances

Granted there ain't nothing in the world like a mother's love

Mom you gave when you had nothing, you is Number One

Remember when that stupid cop gave me four tickets

You placed a band in my hand so I can go fix it

Remember school bullies tried to jump me and hurt me

You took off of work just to pay them kids a visit

Remember when my elbow dislocated playing ball

You healed me, nursed me back to health with the quickness

It's ya beautiful spirit and as God is my witness

Imma do all that I can, to make sure I see you prosper

You deserve the honor, since I was a toddler

You were there to sponsor even when I got locked up

I thought I was a goner, but you gave me power

To conquer all of these demons plotting, scheming trying stop us

Can't nobody block us, thankful that you stayed with me

Grateful that you prayed for me, against those that would prey on me

Against those that would hate on me and try to disrespect me

Gave me bible verses that were perfect to protect me

And I won't rest 'til the day you living debt free

Put you in a space where you can live in rent free, kingdom

You ain't never gotta reach when the bill come

You the realist Mom and you raised a real one, (Right)

Thank you momma for all of the things that you've done for me

If not for you, I don't know what would have become of me

I don't think you understand what your love does for me

It warms me up, brightens my day you like the sun to me

I had my times, I was out of line, it was kinda dumb of me

You've been so kind, and so sublime momma, that I appreciate ya

Always by my side, all of my life momma, there ain't no one greater

You literally shed yo sweat, tears and blood for me

Thank you momma for all of the things that you've done for me

If not for you, I don't know what would have become of me

I don't think you understand what your love does for me

It warms me up, brightens my day you like the sun to me

I had my times, I was out of line, it was kinda dumb of me

You've been so kind, and so sublime momma, that I appreciate ya

Always by my side, all of my life momma, there ain't no one greater

You literally shed yo sweat, tears and blood for me

Momma I love you, I hope that it shows
