[Verse 1]
Mama, first I gotta let you know
You're the reason flowers grow in a world so cold
Mistakes, nah, fuck 'em all
I say this from my soul, you're wonderful
Don't you ever think you let me down
Straight up, at any time, anyhow
You've always been around
Couldn't have had a better mom, trust me
Never been on my mind, cause you're lovely
My brother would have said the same thing
Look at us, thinking back, it's been wack
But so glad, you in fact, decided that, you wanted to
Have another baby, now that little man, my brother, is almost 18
Maybe, it is a meaning in all this
But I still hope you gon' close this chapter
And make sure there's a brighter after
And get ready for a life full of laughter
[Hook]
Mama
Please don't leave me, in the middle of night
Mama
Please don't leave me, you gotta stay and fight
Mamma
We gon' make it, I 'ma be right by your side
Mamma
Don't you ever think that life ain't gonna end up bright
[Verse 2]
Mama, after all the things we been through
I just want you to know, that I forgive you
All the hard times, all the wet tears
Stay clean and that's all we need to repair
I know it ain't easy, but
I need you, like you need me, so let's be tough
And show the whole world who's steering this ship
Cause none of ya really know who ya' fucking with
I've watched her knock motherfuckers out
If they touched me, they gon' die so hard with no doubt
And when I wrote my first rap, wow
You could never imagine, shit, she was so proud
Even though she couldn't understand a thing
Rap's not her favorite, but she was so in
I guess she lays in a bed at rehab right now
Listening to this song, I hope she's feeling proud
[Hook]
Mama
Please don't leave me, in the middle of night
Mama
Please don't leave me, you gotta stay and fight
Mamma
We gone make it, I 'ma be right by your side
Mamma
Don't you ever think that life ain't gonna end up bright
[Verse 3]
You gotta stay and fight
You gotta do what's right
You gotta prove there's Light
So we can move to the bright
It'll be alright
Any day or night
I might
Visit you sometimes, a'ight
Mama
You're the reason why my heart pump
You're the reason I'm alive and can write songs
You're the reason I didn't die in '91
Cause we run away from my father, that evil punk
(Mama, I want you to know that I'm proud of you, and that I wouldn't trade you for anything... I love you!)
[Hook]
Mama
Please don't leave me, in the middle of night
Mama
Please don't leave me, you gotta stay and fight
Mamma
We gone make it, I 'ma be right by your side
Mamma
Don't you ever think that life ain't gonna end up bright
