[Verse One]: Hey ma, I know you happy that your kids are gone At the same time, a little sad cause it's been so long Since you didn't have one of us in the next room I often worry sometimes because it's just you But you got so much livin' to do So much on your plate, I got a schedule to visit with you Damn, I need to stop by and kick it with you Just sit down and talk and listen to you Eyes on the house I painted a picture for June Told him to stop by and check when I couldn't get through I love you For raising us the way that you did mom I only hope I do the same for my kids mom No matter where I is or where I live I will be there in a minute if you in some sh** Or just need to talk or borrow some cash Cause there was times you let me borrow your last I'm so grateful So thankful, hot meals on that oak table Kept my plate full, I'm amazed you Raised two kids, damn near alone I praise you, so no matter where, I'm on my way to I'll always be close to home from the cradle to the grave I'd give my life away if it could save you I just wanna say thank you Thank you I just wanna say thank you Thank you [Hook]: And even though I'm off on my own ma I'm never ever too far from home ma If you need me you get on that phone ma And I'll be on my way Home, home And even though I'm off on my own ma I'm never ever too far from home ma If you need me you get on that phone ma And I'll be on my way Home, home [Verse Two]: Baby sis you in college now, that's some crazy sh** I can hear you now like, "Brother when you gon' make it rich?" You might get there first Only God and mommy might beat me if I don't get there first Just keep goin' for yours and don't stop at all I'm so proud of you, at the same time, not shocked at all You work hard, even if you dropped from ball You got a family that loves you and will stop it all To stop your fall, but I doubt you need it You've been through so much girl I don't believe you can be defeated So, live your life but don't do what they do The world is yours, I can't wait to see where it takes you Some people will hate you, let them hate They want you to fall off, I say let them wait Look, to thy own self, be true, you know what that means If you need anything just get at me [Hook]: And even though I'm off on my own love I'm never ever too far from home love If you need me you get on that phone love And I'll be on my way to take you Home, home And even though I'm off on my own love I'm never ever too far from home love If you need me you get on that phone love And I'll be on my way to take you Home, home
