Dear Mama Lyrics

Mama I made this song for you Mama I made this song just for you

Mama I made this song for you come on

Mama I made this song for you Mama I made this song just for you

Mama I made this song for you

When I was you young me and my mama had beef

Seventeen why she try to put me on the streets

Problem after problem tears flowing down her face

Ain't a woman here alive that can take my mamas place

Not perfect but you still worth it

Raise a child up see I'm still churching

Raising knuckle heads and you still working

Retired from the city baby know you earned it

Swear to never ever let you see me in that cell

Through hell or high water we been through enough hell

Working to the bone to prideful for welfare

All that sacrifice that shit made me Shed tears

Putting up with me it gave you all them gray hairs

Damn crazy them was all my great years

Never coddle me that's why I never could fear

Moved out then back in tryna get up on my feet baby you can stay here

Diamonds and the pearls I want to be the son you bragging bout

Making all that noise this the music you would nag about

I ain't stopping till I get that check that have you passing out

And all my shortcomings are the things that we could laugh about

Pops passed and them other dudes never made the cut

All we had growing up I knew you didn't make enough

Every hour of my waking day I try to make it up

I could do a thirty minute verse and couldn't say enough for real

Mama I made this song for you yeah

Mama I made this song for you Mama I made this song made this song

Mama I made this song for you Mama I made this song just for you

Mama I made this song for you Mama I made this song just for you

I vow to be a man that's upstanding understanding

Grow old and have a family that can't stand me

Shit talker Gun toter like his Granny

Cigar smoking out the pack money in the fanny

Bread maker caretaker

Somebody to fan flies when they sitting up at deaths table

Send flowers love showers

Never be the first to let go we don't know a hugs power

I get it now trips to the convalescent I can feel it now

I see why you stayed so long

Life's short and we can't stay so long

I understand now how you stay so strong

So I made this song while you can still hear it

Besides still water you always a still spirit

And through it all you my ride or die

Okie dokie smoke bye huh

Mama I made this song for you Mama I made this song just for you

Mama I made this song for you Mama I made this song made this song

Mama I made this song for you Mama I made this song just for you

Mama I made this song for you Mama I made this song just for you

Just for you

Mama I made this song just for you

Mama I made this song made this song

Mama I made this song just for you
