Moise Morancy - Mama's Secret lyrics

[Verse 1] All I could remember was tears up in my eyes Hard times, struggling with GM in '95 January 13th mama birthed me Hurts me listening to Pac's "Dear Mama" Cause I was always 'bout the drama, beefing in school Evil and cruel, even to you Never controlling my temper Suspended in September, November and December Detention was whatever Caused you so much stress, nevertheless never depressed Given the circumstances, always at your best Even when the coward left Talking 'bout my father didn't bother to ponder on the woman he left Toward her, wonder how he feels now Like a real clown Left you homeless with a baby, Shady couldn't even raise me Coulda done like Brenda, and never ever kept a baby, maybe [Chorus] Mama's got a secret, you wouldn't believe it For 16 years she concealed it Why you gotta shield it? Hearts need healin' Mama, it's time to reveal it [Verse 2] Sometimes, I hated God Mama did all these great things, still had some degrading jobs Went to other countries feeding the poor But I was born in someone's basement, you were keepin' me warm My perception of perfection is you My confession, no connection, no affection is true At a point in time, didn't know who you were Seen so many different faces, so many different places Life cheated you Don't care how people be perceiving you Destined for greatness, facing discrimination Even when you were laid in hospital beds Still with obstacles ahead I'm glad you're alive, 'cause you were near d**h And I'm real blessed to have you around Can't continue mediocre lifestyles Deserve to be on Oprah right now or Ellen DeGeneres 'Cause you were so generous even if you didn't benefit People was so treacherous I can't believe they deceived when you conceived We're barely surviving, I'm tired of seeing you crying Through all the pain and suffering, you were still inspiring [Chorus] Mama's got a secret, you wouldn't believe it For 16 years she concealed it Why you gotta shield it? Hearts need healin' Mama, it's time to reveal it [Verse 3] Mama had a really tough life Skipped grades, graduated top of her cla** is dodging the caskets Gettin' a scholarship and getting flown to the states Make no mistakes, Mama did it She made the great escape Books in her brains, at the top of her game 'Till she met this fellow, though she fell in love Jealous women had their vendettas Then she had a baby comin' so he started frontin' Left her with nothing but Moise Morancy in her stomach People had belittling tendencies She got robbed through pregnancies And it was so cold she had the baby solo And during, so much pain So strong 'cause she never complained No pay but pave the way Let the world know before she hits the grave It finally is the day where I have the guts to say That my mama, my mama has AIDS
