VERSE 1:
Okay I came in this thing 1992
Momma looked at me and told me “boy ain't nothing you can't do”
So let's put this thing to use, let's put this thing in motion
My momma sitting in the bleachers while my daddy coaching
Said you got that magic potion, I said I'm okie-doking
I said I'm feeling good enough to show boat on the Atlantic Ocean
See my momma told me I'm her baby
My daddy said the same but get your education
I said poppa please be patient, cause I'm trying to make it
And I know I can't but one day I'm gonna repay you
Oh and I remember when you listened to my first song
Man I hadn't felt that good in so long
And momma took me to my first session
Lord knows she was stressing
Looking up to the heaven's like “Dear Jesus, please protect him”
I'm my parents' only child so I'm trying to put a smile on their face
Ain't nothing better than to hear your momma say “There go my baby!”
HOOK:
There go my baby
There go my baby
There go my baby
There go my baby
And momma saying, “Thank you , Lord”
There go my baby
There go my baby
There go my baby
And momma saying, “Thank you, Jesus”
There go my baby
There go my baby
There go my baby
And my momma saying, “Hallelujah”
There go my baby
There go my baby
There go my baby
VERSE 2:
So many conversations up on that kitchen table
So many years, so many tears but oh Lord I'm thankful
That we finally made it through, ain't nobody quite like you
We just kept on pushing through, and pushing through, and pushing through
And you ain't quite know how but Momma always made it work
And every Sunday morning woke me up and took me straight to church
And Daddy I just want to thank you for never giving up
You kept your head held high, even when the times w
Ere rough
And so I just really want to thank you
For them a** whoopings and spankings
And showing me the other side of life when I should've been a little bit more grateful
Because now, you're looking at boys who've been men from the jump
Cause Momma ain't raise no fool, and Daddy ain't raise no punk
So watch me work, hustle like crazy
My momma told me “You gonna be somebody, baby”
So excuse my momma, I know she's loud
But it's just because I made that woman proud
Running ‘round, that's my baby
HOOK:
There go my baby
There go my baby
There go my baby
There go my baby
And momma saying, “Thank you , Lord”
There go my baby
There go my baby
There go my baby
And momma saying, “Thank you, Jesus”
There go my baby
There go my baby
There go my baby
And my momma saying, “Hallelujah”
There go my baby
There go my baby
There go my baby
VERSE 3:
My momma told me, “Boy you so smart”
My daddy told me, “Always finish what you start”
My momma told me, “Boy you so handsome”
My daddy told me, “Always keep your business handled”
And I remember that broke down Mercedes
It's a blessing that we made it
And that you still love me even when I'm talking crazy
It don't matter if we had money or we didn't
Because we family and it doesn't make a difference
Holler at me
HOOK:
There go my baby
There go my baby
There go my baby
There go my baby
And momma saying, “Thank you , Lord”
There go my baby
There go my baby
There go my baby
And momma saying, “Thank you, Jesus”
There go my baby
There go my baby
There go my baby
And my momma saying, “Hallelujah”
There go my baby
There go my baby
There go my baby
