This for you, there ain't one day that go by
 Where I don't think about you, yeah
 This for my mother, rest in peace
 To you and yours, yeah, ride with [bad word] on

 I know you watching me, guiding me
 I know from up there it's like you watching 'Menace to Society'
 Listen you was thirty-two I was only nine
 But I've learned so much with so little time

 Now I'm surrounded by the best of my kind, we pulled it all together
 Couldn't waste your pearls on swine ma, you taught me better
 You can't protect me or expect me to not [bad word] an' fight
 'Cause see death is a part of life

 What I wouldn't give for one more day wit you
 One last embrace and face to face wit you
 Explain everything that made me what I am a grown man
 From the ground up with my own hands

 Will I forget you? Never
 Down right angry sometimes that we ain't here together
 You can feel your roots and see how strong we are
 Who would've thought we could get this far? [bad word] I miss you

 Even though I know it's been tough
 I can't stress enough no matter what, mama I love you
 You've always been there by my side
 You've taught me the wrong from the right, mama I love you

 Yesterday was your fifty-ninth birthday
 Time flew missing you in the worst way
 I still feel the same pain since the first day
 You left to death on God's request

 I [bad word] through the years mama I've been stressed
 Through the bullets and the bad times I've been blessed
 For the times that I fail but I tried my best
 Able to do for my loved ones is real success

 Your the source of my strength I was blessed with your gifts
 Your insights, your wisdom, your penmanship
 Fun an' games, I'm doing thangs, I know you wouldn't agree with
 What I drink, what I smoke, who I be with

 You made sure I got some love when there wasn't none
 Opened up my heart showed the world where [bad word] from
 Your little grandson is just like your little boy
 Mama what you built here no man can ever destroy, your bundle of joy

 I've been through so much
 I lose touch and sometimes I feel that life sucks
 My woman try to get close I push her away
 She wanna talk I just sit there with nothing to say

 Feel me, it's all the pain I contain on the inside
 You in the right place but left me at the wrong time
 Used to cook, clean, and sing me to sleep
 Now I only go to bed with my heat, [bad word] I miss you

 Even though I know it's been tough
 I can't stress enough no matter what, mama I love you
 You've always been there by my side
 You've taught me the wrong from the right, mama I love you

 The school of hard knocks where I learned life's lessons
 With not enough answers and too many questions
 When you had me you gave birth to a soldier
 Now I'm much older, now the world much colder

 Our lives in the hands of politicians that don't care
 We ponds in the game biological warfare
 The family's so spread out an' disconnected
 Trying to hold things together put my soul on records

 It's hard, you know your daughter had a baby too
 beautiful baby girl just another little piece of you
 Another branch we can add to the family tree
 Responsibility bringing out the man in me

 You ain't a man if you're not taking care of home
 Raise and protect my own, until they full-grown
 No matter how much these streets try to change me
 I'm never gon' forget how you raised me, I love you, forever

 Even though I know it's been tough
 I can't stress enough no matter what, mama I love you
 You've always been there by my side
 You've taught me the wrong from the right, mama I love you

 Yeah, all the mothers, all the daughters, [bad word] on
 Sun, moon, earth, yeah, this for y
