U Da Truth ft. 2Three Vybz Lyrics

Yeah, 1992, a new 69, was born

Mama, she was movin', she was workin' up a storm

She had to go and get it, had to get it, how she live

Mama had to do it, sacrificing for the kids

Had to take advantage of the system we was in

No one else was there, she had to play the woman and the man

Workin' all day, mama used to had to give me tips

Out her pocket, told me never end up like the man she with

I just gotta take this moment, didn't know that we was poor

I thought section 8 and stamps, was the way we pay for food

Mama sweat, blood and tears and never showed us once she cried

Then she went to school and showed us how the black woman survive

Cause mama you the truth

Cause you got us out the hood, we was livin' in the zoo, yeah

Mama, you the truth

Cause you did it by yourself, you don't need nobody else

Cause mama, you the truth

Cause you got us out the hood, we was livin' in the zoo, yeah

Mama, you the truth

Cause you did it by yourself, you don't need nobody else

Baby sister, daddy, he was trappin' in the house

Baby brother, daddy, he was always in the clouds

Middle brother, daddy, we don't know where he is

Yeah, fuck my daddy, I don't know where he live

Shout out to the dukes, yeah

Said one of the many things you ever said was true, yeah

I seen so many break your heart over these years, baby

I promise we gon' break the bank before it's through, yeah

I see you work so fuckin' hard, it make me sick, I didn't appreciate it then

when I think about what we went through, got no choices but to win

You sacrifice your everything, just to see your youngest grin

And we act like we ain't get it, couldn't never learn to listen

See you wear a thousand hats, don't understand it, how you learn to manage

Have a woman like you in my corner, my greatest advantage

We ain't have it easy, but I promise it was perfect

I'ma make sure that lil' knucklehead, you raisin', make it worth it

Cause mama you the truth

Cause you got us out the hood, we was livin' in the zoo, yeah

Mama, you the truth

Cause you did it by yourself, you don't need nobody else

Cause mama, you the truth

Cause you got us out the hood, we was livin' in the zoo, yeah

Mama, you the truth

Cause you did it by yourself, you don't need nobody else

Baby sister, daddy, he was trappin' in the house

Baby brother, daddy, he was always in the clouds

Middle brother, daddy, we don't know where he is

Yeah, fuck my daddy, I don't know where he live

Yeah, but i'm thankful for a woman like you

Not many women can endure the struggles end up like you

I know some friends who mama tear them down and wish they had a mama like you

I love you, mama, wish I had the guts to stand up like you

He had his hands around your neck, I had my hand on his gat

In my mind, but even then, I was scared to pull it back

The faith to find someone to love you was just tryna preserve it

Now you finally happily married and you know that you deserve it

You deserve it, mama

Cause mama, you the truth

Cause you got us out the hood, we was livin' in the zoo, yeah

Mama, you the truth

Cause you did it by yourself, you don't need nobody else

Cause mama, you the truth

Cause you got us out the hood, we was livin' in the zoo, yeah

Mama, you the truth

Cause you did it by yourself, you don't need nobody else
