Dear momma, I love you so
I wrote this song, just so you would know
How much I miss you, every time you go
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for helping me grow

Now I ain’t gon lie bout our family portrait and claim it’s perfect
But you were the one to wipe away my tears and make it worth it
You taught me bout respect, and all the ways to earn it
And how to stay away from haters cuz anger’s allergic
You told me only God can judge and say if they deserve it
Cuz they can trick a man, but in the end, can’t change the verdict
I know this life’s been a test, ever since the ancient serpent
So when I say I’m hurting, I mean the pain is working
I know you pray I follow you, and all of my brothers bring ‘em
Cuz we so lost without our faith amidst a world of demons
Sex, drugs and gangsta rap, temptation so deceiving
Dreaming up on stage I’m singing, signing a record agreement
But if I sell my soul will I gain achievement or bereavement
All I know I’m so tired from working barley breaking even
Even when I saw my faith in Jesus, getting up and leaving
You always stayed and gave me something to believe in

Dear momma, I love you so
I wrote this song, just so you would know
How much I miss you, every time you go
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for helping me grow

Not just my momma but my friend you’re Sarah Kae to me
You showed me DEF when all the rest taught ABC’s
You told me sin it costs dearly, but faith is free
And living for a higher purpose, only way to be
Leading by example not just told us, you showed us
Remaining optimistic, when it all seemed so hopeless
Rapping was my passion, no hate, you helped me focus
And made me feel like every song it was my magnum opus
Though you were still learning yourself, you laced me with your wisdom
Gave me the tools, to not be a victim of Satan’s wicked system
Cuz this the world we gotta live in, until Christ has risen
You taught me life with sin, is no better than life in prison
I really tried to listen, even when I had my doubt
Cuz I knew it killed you everytime my brothers acted out
Sometimes I felt neglected, taking the passive route
Funny, how a woman’s the one that, showed me what being a man’s about

Dear momma, I love you so
I wrote this song, just so you would know
How much I miss you, every time you go
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for helping me grow

When it’s your time to go, momma I swear I won’t be grieving
Cuz I know Jehovah holds a place for you up in his kingdom x4

Dear momma, I love you so
I wrote this song, just so you would know
How much I miss you, every time you go
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for helping me grow
