"Mother Like You"
-Verse 1
They say Paradise lies at the foot of my mother
So if Heavens a mile away then let me tell you I love ya
And that true then the distance tween you and my brother
That's above us is below you so you should never suffer
Yo.. Props up to father but I gotta recognize and honor
The pot of gold that I came outta, yo.. Who would I be without yo
Nothing, my momma made something up out of nothing
You the reason I limit the cussing when I be flowing over percussions
I hope the verse I spitting keep you blushing
... I hope you see that I learned something from all the whippings and the cussing
She taught me how to cut them, and told me who to trust in
And showed me the definition between the loving and that lusting
Tougher than the strongest man, but there is nothing stronger than
The bond between a boy and his momma
I'm probably a mommas boy but I avoided the drama
And learned how to spot a snake from a mile away
You so great, I gotta say if..
-Verse 2
Standing in the same spot that Pac wrote dear mama quote
No way that I can pay it back in fact all I can do is hope
That I can finish spitting with these tears filling in my throat
I wrote it hoping that you would hear it before the spirit in you floats
.... And when that day approaches, I pray that I am focused so I ain't standing there looking hopeless
Hold it... I know that I can't control it
So with every moment I'm able
Let me show you that I am grateful
For everything that GOD gave you
You put it on the table
And gave it to your kids since we was hooked up to your navel
No way that we could pay you for that labor
And the mint couldn't print enough paper for me to repay you
Lady your major
And ain't nobody close to ya
So Imma honor my momma the way the GOD told me I'm pose to
I could've hit the social, and wrote a little post to you
But I'm a rap addict so Imma spit this dope to you
And let the flow go thru, your eyes cuz you gonna cry
When you hear these folks quoting ya baby boy Rise
And may my wife get the same from my baby boy Taj
Cuz he's a Mommahs boy and Yo that boy wise
Everything will be alright if you hold on...
It's a struggle everyday gotta roll on..
I know miss my daddy.. And we miss him too
But everything's cool, cuz we still got you
-Verse 3
And when I was low you was there for me
And never left me alone because you care for me
It's weird and funny how with no money yo we was never bummy
And even when it was raining pain, yo, you made it sunny
Honey, when I make it, you won't want for nothing
Cuz if you need it I will bring it if mean suffering
I'll take these punches from these pundits, punishments And all
I'll take it all till I fall to protect doll
And everything I do is to impress you MA
I hit my knees and start pleading GOD bless you MA
It's nothing less than the respect when I address you MA
I'll risk my freedom if they disrespect you MA
I mess and try... To lie with you in yo grave on the day you die
From EVE to Mother Mary, and Aaminah Bint Wahb
Lidia Marie, you like one them and if...
