It's been a long road I took the I-20 back home I wanna thank you now 'fore the time runs out 'Cause we'll never know I know that sometimes we don't see eye to eye There ain't no love stronger than the one from my mama And I put that on God, mama (Yeah)
For all them times you made a way so we could have our way Yeah, you could ask the bank I don't play 'bout Misti Jane (At all) Went AP on your wrist Put a big ribbon on that Range (Skrrt) Get whatever you want 'cause you was there When I ain't have a thing (Yeah) You stayed at work so late Now I'm beggin' you to quit that job (That job) My face so pretty, let it hang You the reason, it's all your fault Gave me all your perfect features But ain't passed me down no trauma I wouldn't be the woman that I am today Without my mama, yeah (On God) Say a prayer, you know I thank Him for you (I thank Him for you) When I'm on the road, missing home I be thinking of you (I be thinking of you) Truck got no miles But you know how far I'll take it for you (Skrrt) And if I can't give you the world Then I'ma make one for you, mama
It's been a long road (On God) I took the I-20 back home I wanna thank you now 'fore the time runs out 'Cause we'll never know I know that sometimes we don't see eye to eye There ain't no love stronger than the one from my mama And I put that on God, mama
I'm the type of mom To pass you down a Chanaynay purse (On God) Now you look just like your daddy, but you got my curls Can't believe my life right now, I feel on top of the world Should've seen my face when they told me it's a baby girl Ms in your account 'fore my baby even breathe Put that shit on my mama, now you can put it on me How you got your first Birkin 'Fore you got your first teeth? Show you how to be a boss just like my mama raised me
'Cause she always held it down through All the downs and the ups I remember we was broke, but we was rich with the love Now my pockets got thick, but nothing thicker than blood Oh, mama, mama (Yeah)
It's been a long road (Skrrt) I took the I-20 back home (On God) I wanna thank you now 'fore the time runs out 'Cause we'll never know (We'll never know) I know that sometimes we don't see eye to eye (Uh-huh) There ain't no love stronger than the one from my mama And I put that on God, mama
Where would I be? Tell me, where would I be? What would I do? Tell me, what would I do? Ain't nobody ever, ever loved me like you Oh, mama, mama Where would I be? Tell me, where would I be? What would I do? Tell me, what would I do? Ain't nobody ever, ever loved me like you Oh, mama, mama (On my mama)
