about

This is "Dear Mama" over Tupac's "Dear Mama"

lyrics

Im nothing without you
Succedding because of you
So im gonna do this for you
Im blessed to put it lightly
she loves me unconditional
her love has made me mighty
these ladies in my life mimic ways of Aphrodite
a gentlemen to the core
I treat a girl politely
and cheatings never like me
yo
yo i was taught to treat a woman how id treat my mom
i was taught to tell the truth because its never wrong
everyday i grind to smile on her face
every night
i hug her tight
she is my saving grace
words cannot describe the way my momma makes me feel
i doubted love
because of her i know true love is real
when I’m down she never fails to turn my mood around
she is my queen
and she deserves to wear her fuckin crown
love is easy when youre taught it at an early age
all is fair in love and war but we still disengage
like we’re committed to never being committed
every word that’s out of love it seems our actions contradict it
with every word i speak will help me find the girl i seek
with every move i make i prey the lord my soul to take
I put my hands in fate my spirit freely navigates
And float to freedom like my conscious didn’t have no weights
because of her i live this life of love and happiness
her light will always shine within my life before and after this
theres no way i can pay you back
but the plan is to show that you that i understand
you are appreciated

(chorus)

And dear mama
don’t ya worry bout me
you raised your boy to a man
and now your kid is a king
and i say fuck a degree cause i flow hotter than diplomas
shining star about to burst like I’m a destined super nova
i know you want whats best for me
but trust the man you’ve made
lyrics from my spirt is whats gonna get our family paid
wishful thinking
more like plans that i can promise you
trust ill work hard
but imma work on what i wanna do
i don’t plan on takin orders till retirement
life inside a cubicle is far from a requirement
life is what you make it
every chance i get I’m takin
i just hope the world can feel me
no i will not be forsaken
you can trust
i trust you
and to love you is a must
this is how it has to be though
and I’m sure u can adjust
fight a never ending battle
constant worry is the enemy
as long as you believe in me
my love can be the remedy
i could
change the world
but i won’t know unless i try
and if i never spread my wings
then how the fuck am i gone fly
if i never take a chance
mediocre never changes
I’m just shooting for the stars like i was makin friends with angels
you’ve had my back even when i didn’t have my own
i think of you and i don’t ever have to feel alone
so mom i thank you from the bottom of my heart
its time to be a man
but I’m your baby from the start
I love you so much
Youre so appreciated
Through the ups and the downs you’ve always been there to steer me in the right direction
You’ve given me unconditional love and support
You showed me how to loved the right way
Im so blessed to have such a strong woman like you in my corner
Through the past 23 years of my life you’ve been everything a boy needs to grow into a man
So for that theres no way I can pay you back, but the plan is to show that I understand
