Mom's Heart Lyrics

I used to think I came from nothing

Until I saw what nothing was

All the things I took for granted

Clean clothes

Food and

Love

Me and my brothers always fighting

Mom always at Uni or her job

But I never felt neglected

I didn't know what lonely was

I thought I came from poverty

Cause I had holes in my socks

Thought I'd have some money

If mommy let me role with the rocks

But she kept us off the street

With our bellies full up

The real reason I ain't rich

I wasn't hungry enough

Thought we'd never be Kings Until we had silver spoons

We will always be Kings

Cause mamas blood runs blue

Now we're raising

Young Princes and

Princesses too

And we can not go wrong if we raise them like you

Everything you had

An you dain't have much

Still everything you had, Mom

You gave to us

I ain't tryna brag

But you went right with us

So I'll raise all mine

With my mother's touch

Everything you had

An you dain't have much

Still everything you had, Mom

You gave to us

I ain't tryna brag

But you went right with us

So I'll raise all mine

With my mother's touch

You were selfless from the start

Taught us how to walk with God

So much of who we are

Comes from who first taught us love

Prayed to keep us from the dark

All the kindness you showed us

I know the father I've become

Is cause I've got my mothers heart

Sometimes I wonder why I can never be alone

And why I confide myself in this broken home

And why I promise my son all these things when he's old

And why I'm buying these peops all these things when I'm broke

I buy all these umbrellas

But still when it rains

I'm walkin outside with these clouds in my face

With my eyes set on home

My son's hand in my hand

Saying all the right things to try raise a good man

But

I never had a father

OK I have a father

But he ain't raise

He just made me

He ain't teach me nothin

OK he taught me something

That my son needs a father

Not to go out there making babies If I can't be a father

Don't twist it I ain't mad

In fact I love my dad

As I got older he got better

Guess that's why I'm sad

He found God

And now my dad's the man I wish I had

I guess that's why I'm glad

My son he loves his grandad

I speak ‘bout him with pride

I guess I'm more like my dad than I first realised

I'm far from perfect

I ain't bad

No, I'm the perfect guide

To teach kids that they ain't bad

Something just ain't gone right

We can't tell em

Unless we show them how to do things better

Somebody must believe

That they can be much better

We're the ones who find Gold in the hearts of others

But we can't take the credit

We get it from our mothers

See they were selfless from the start

Taught us how to walk with God

So much of who we are

Comes from who first taught us love

Prayed to keep us from the dark

All the kindness they showed us

I know the fathers we've become

Is cause we've got our mothers hearts

Everything you had

An you dain't have much

Still everything you had, Mom

You gave to us

I ain't tryna brag

But you went right with us

So I'll raise all mine

With my mother's touch

Everything you had

An you dain't have much

Still everything you had, Mom

You gave to us

I ain't tryna brag

But you went right with us

So I'll raise all mine

With my mother's touch

You were selfless from the start

Taught us how to walk with God

So much of who we are

Comes from who first taught us love

Prayed to keep us from the dark

All the kindness you showed us

I know the father I've become

Is cause I've got my mothers heart

You were selfless from the start

Taught us how to walk with God

So much of who we are

Comes from who first taught us love

Prayed to keep us from the dark

All the kindness you showed us

I know the father I've become

Is cause I've got my mothers heart
