I was born in Detroit home of the muscle
Mama birthed me outta Hutzel
Daddy quit the hustle
Got lock did a dime plus he never told
So baby it was me and you at three weeks old
You did your best to keep us safe in every single way
Went as far to eat the poison off of every plate
Taught me how to clean a home with the oldies on
Help me out in math and still got every answer wrong
Where would I be in this world had it not for Lee
Kept my head in the books and ass of the streets
Gave me discipline respect was the tool to teach
And being humble was word you would always preach
It took some time for me to listen but I get now
Heavy lies the dummy head if he wears the crown
For you to frown
Never allowed
I'll battle anybody from the heavens to the ground just to see you smile
Mama taught a lotta game so I was never weak
On holidays I helped you cook so we can all eat
Did my chores every single week
And you'd be at my neck if I left a single spoon in the kitchen sink
Only once did I forget to take the chicken out
And to this day don't raise my voice when I'm in ya house
It was hard as a child but I see it now
I got it figured out
See you took a step back from your school and dreams
So you could nurture all my passions and get my degree
You could've lived ya best life but you lived through me
And saying thank you ain't enough but it don't cost a thing
Money cars and clothes and diamond rings
See that ain't enough
And I'm thankful for the time you ain't giving up
Even in you darkest moments girl I know it's rough
See you the angel sent to build me up
I'm sensitive but tough I love ma so much
If you ever lost a mother let me share her withchu
Cuz everybody need someone to say they love and miss you
Just hug and kiss you
The small things we take for granted
That if you leave this earth that you taking witchu
They say the child is suppose to lay you down to rest
But even if I'm 82 I ain't ready yet
God I ain't finish yet
And don't you walk around this earth just full of regret
So Imma cherish every millisecond in an hour
And not gon wait to say goodbye to give you your flowers
Being a strong black mother was ya super power
7 billion and you'll never find a bond like ours
So when they ask me who's my hero Imma tell em you
And when they shower me with praise I'll pass it to you
I hope that when I'm lost you'll help me find my way
And if you hear this imma tell you every single day
As bow my head to pray
You were right about a lot things that I would question
Steered me in safe direction all for my protection
Ma I love you and I'm still living by ya lessons
And save me a spot in heaven in our family section
This song is also dedicated to Linda Thompson, Crystal Matthews, and Lovetta Johnson
We miss you
