The Yangsta - That Stayed With Me lyrics

When you feel like there's nowhere else to go When you're exhausted from trying to overcome the struggles of life You can always come home; there will always be a place for you here That's what my mama said to me, this is for my mama. Hey mama [Hook] Your graceful style, that stayed with me Your beautiful smile, that stayed with me The way you taught, that stayed with me Love can't be bought, that stayed with me The way you cook dinner, that stayed with me The way you call me winner, that stayed with me Your intricate care, that stayed with me Those times we shared, will always stay with me [Verse 1] Hey mama here's a song for you These past twenty years you've helped me through From boy to a man, I learned to understand How much I grew when I held your hands Though times were tough I always had enough You worked everyday to buy my favourite stuff Never knew at the time pay came with grind Ungrateful kid thought everything was mine When dad got mad, and whooped my a** You calmed em down, always had my back In my younger years we didn't have many things And yet you gave plenty, I felt like a king You always knew whenever something was wrong Mama can't be fooled always knew what's going on The love you gave I can never repay So here's a song with what I have to say [Hook] Your graceful style, that stayed with me Your beautiful smile, that stayed with me The way you taught, that stayed with me Love can't be bought, that stayed with me The way you cook dinner, that stayed with me The way you call me winner, that stayed with me Your intricate care, that stayed with me Those times we shared, will always stay with me [Verse 2] Hey mama I'm all grown up now Learned life ain't easy you gotta work to smile You taught me right so have faith in me I will be happy, I will succeed I know you got a dislike for my rap life You can't understand why I love to grab mics My dream is not to hold a scalpel or test tube I wanna be a rich rap Asian dude Not rich as in money or material possessions But rich as in love, love for my pa**ion Now I'm not clownin' money, money's good too I'm gonna start a business by rapping old skool I've been given a blessing, by the grace of God I've been given the chance to become a rap star I'll waste no time, I'll gain my buzz I'll do just fine mama, because… [Hook] Your graceful style, that stayed with me Your beautiful smile, that stayed with me The way you taught, that stayed with me Love can't be bought, that stayed with me The way you cook dinner, that stayed with me The way you call me winner, that stayed with me Your intricate care, that stayed with me Those times we shared, will always stay with me [Verse 3] Hey mama, you did quite well In raising a child mama can't you tell I will pa** all of life's tests mama I promise I will be the best mama Moving to Canada did a number on you Turned you from a bold teacher to a timid mute But all your kind actions spoke so loud Won't let it go to waste, I'll make ya proud I'm a real stubborn kid so I learn real slow When you ask me to change, I always say no You're the first to protest when I make rap music But when I drop a song, you listen to it So thank you mama for believing in me I'll win at life be patient and see I know you'll miss me when I'm out workin' hard But you're always with me, a part of my heart [Hook] Your graceful style, that stayed with me Your beautiful smile, that stayed with me The way you taught, that stayed with me Love can't be bought, that stayed with me The way you cook dinner, that stayed with me The way you call me winner, that stayed with me Your intricate care, that stayed with me Those times we shared, will always stay with me [Bridge – *Singing* In Mandarin, Chinese] In this world, mom is the best A child with his mom is like a treasure Diving into a mother's embrace Unimaginable happiness awaits Hey mama, I know you older Chinese folks love to get together and brag about each other's kids and stuff And when somebody brags about the achievements of your kid you're supposed to act real humble about it and stuff? I'll give you something to be humble about mama, make you real humble. I promise [Hook] Your graceful style, that stayed with me Your beautiful smile, that stayed with me The way you taught, that stayed with me Love can't be bought, that stayed with me The way you cook dinner, that stayed with me The way you call me winner, that stayed with me Your intricate care, that stayed with me Those times we shared, will always stay with me
