I just want to let you know Ma, that I just wanna thank you for everything I love you so very much I love you too Momma (Chorus #1): David Correy My momma told me not to cry Gotta beam myself up when I'm down Follow my name in the flashy lights Those flashy lights Where I belong (x2) Verse #1: David Corey So is the tale of the struggle A go getter, young hustler A couple bucks in his pocket Both hands on The Bible Praying for revival Seen the ups & the downs from when I come around full circle He Saw enough to find a way Even harder to just fight just to get through every day It's a hard knock life for us (x2) No matter what it takes, please show, show me the way It's a cold world It's a hard knock life for us (x2) I'm going home everyday, but I need you cause… Really wanna go there, but I'm heading fast nowhere Feeling like I'm hanging on What's it gonna take to feel strong Know I need to go there Through the rain & the fire What's it gonna take know that I'm all I need to breathe My momma told me not to cry Gotta beam myself up when I'm down Follow my name in the flashy lights Those flashy lights Where I belong (x2) Verse #2: Locksmith And I can still remember the moments when you would smile at me How could I pretend for a moment that there's a side of me Doesn't wish that I was there with you Lady I miss you You're an angel so you're hanging where you were meant to I'm living and taking my life to new heights, that's the reason it stings Feeling worthless, you gave me purpose You believed in my dreams I'm thinking back to when I rapped with friends You would let us use your garage to get our practice in, see I know life's hard on us, just hold on tight, don't rush Is what you told me as I snickered with my homies Thinking we know it all, there was so much more you would show me If I open up my heart, then my blessins come You fall short, that's the part where you learn your lessons from (I know) You can't expect to win them all, but I know you'll be there to catch me when I fall (Chorus #2): David Correy Really wanna go there, but I'm heading fast nowhere Feeling like I'm hanging on What's it gonna take to feel strong Know I need to go there Through the rain & the fire What's it gonna take know that I'm all I need to breathe Oh somewhere out there There's a star with your name on it You got fight hard if you want the world to see (Chorus #1): David Correy My momma told me not to cry Gotta beam myself up when I'm down Follow my name in the flashy lights Those flashy lights Where I belong (Chorus #2): David Correy Really wanna go there, but I'm heading fast nowhere Feeling like I'm hanging on What's it gonna take to feel strong Know I need to go there Through the rain & the fire What's it gonna take know that I'm all I need to breathe (Chorus #1): David Correy My momma told me not to cry Gotta beam myself up when I'm down Follow my name in the flashy lights Those flashy lights Where I belong (x2)
