Mama's Interlude Lyrics

Mom working late nights to provide

She said keep the doors locked, don't let nobody inside

No matter how bad the storm on no one else we relied

She knew I'd be ok but I felt the guilt in her eyes

Listen, always made sure there was food in the kitchen

Bills paid chip in the box you know cables expensive

Other than time with you I had everything that I needed

Me and pops were ok seen him once a day on the weekends

Spent many nights alone but understood the vision

We butt heads sometimes but overall I listened

Come straight home after school, call me when you get in

Do your homework, eat and then chores

You see that's how you pitch in

You had goals and you seen them through

Upset that I never asked you how life was treating you

I never asked if them long hours were defeating you

Just seen a superhero your powers were unbelievable

I just wanna take this moment

To say if you ever had a weakness you didn't show it

To say if you ever felt scared I didn't notice

Even with my close calls in these streets, you kept me focused

You played your part in making a man

And when the world knocked you down I'd watch as you stand

And when the world knocked me down, you offered a hand

And even though I've said it all before, I'll say it again

I thank you, for everything ma, I thank you

And for it all I'm so grateful

Yeah, I thank you
