listen you might learn sumthin
uh uh come on come on uh yeah yea yeah yeah
come on come on uh huh come on look look
ma i understand why you used to be so hard
kept me inside from catchin a charge
from day one you always said i aint had no boyz
told me to go to church and learn about the law
ya never... told me wrong but you told me right
said the streets wasnt fo me and i'll lose my life
look here i luv u 4 dat datz why im here today
and i luv u 4 dat look i mean wat i say
i dont know wat i woulda done with out u
i woulda run wid a gun probally with out u
you my girl u my doll u my best friend
i can depend on you mama again and again
you never let me down no matter wat it is
dont got no where to go you would give me a place to live
and its like that thats why i luv you girl
i would never put no one above ya girl
(chorus x2)
you used to make me punch da clock (i luv u 4 dat)
i couldnt hit da block (i luv u 4 dat)
stayed in when it was hot (look here i luv u 4 dat look ma i luv u 4 dat i luv you for dat)
i can never pay u back for all the things u done
but i do appriciate all the things u done
takin care of 3 sons all by urself
u was da daddy and da mama u aint have no help
when times was ruff fo us u got us through da sturggle
u taught us how to luv one an other and be brothaz
jus a single parent livin in da bricks
livin off welfare food stamps and wicks
it was hard back then look i aint gon lie
go to skoo then be back in before 89
ma how u did i dont think i coulda done it

look i luv dat women and i mean everythang
when i say she mean everythang i mean everythang
and imma respect her till she dead n gone
i luv u for dat dats why i wrote this song
(chorus)
see when u go to jail mom still be there
she might trip a lil while but believe she care
always by ya side dawg when u got no one else
even if u hurt mom she'll still be there
