[Chorus] Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me And I'm still mommas baby Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me And I'm still mommas baby
Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me And I'm still mommas baby Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me And I'm still mommas baby
[Verse 1] March 11, 1981 my momma gave birth to a hell raising heavenly son And my daddy was a fool addicted to brown So he wasn't ever around, but my momma held me down
When me and big sister had nothing to eat My momma gave up her last trying to make ends meet She was a school teacher, working to provide for her fam Struggling in AA, to submit to gods plan
Them long twelve's steps of hardway are all on your own No family, few friends, my momma was all alone She did it for her children, struggling to make a living And some how we still had food on thanksgiving
When I can barely talk momma taught me to pray And right then I knew that we'd have a better life some day She still give up her last just to see me smile That's the definition of love for you child, I love my momma
[Chorus]
[Verse 2] My momma was my role model, I had no father figure Just a bunch of pipe dreams of being richer But as times got tougher my life just got rougher It hurts so bad to see me watch my momma suffer
Its so hard to cope when you so dead broke So momma used to make me memorize the song quotes In the middle of a session momma gave god praise I knew what it meant to struggle at such an early age
Remember them days she barely earned minimum wage But made sure I had new cloths to start the seventh grade She met my step father, and walked down the aisle I praised he sent somebody that would make my momma smile
He raised me as his own, he taught me to be a man Adopted me and anne, and gave momma a hand I just love to see that beautiful smile on momma face My momma could never be replaced, I love my momma
[Chorus]
[Verse 3] 20 years of struggling, done came to a close no more old, torn up, and hand me down cloths she derserve the best, and never nothing less no stress, give my momma that Gucci dress
the times were hard but we done made it out the rain the storm was severe but we overcame the hurricane them rainy days seem to last so long when them times got hard my momma told me be strong
my number 1 supporter ever since day one and still till this day momma would die for her son no more slumz, all them rainy days are done no a days we taking trips to Disney world just for fun
I put you in a benz take you out that nova Its been a long rough road, but that bumpy rides over You raise me from a baby, my number 1 lady And until the day I'm in my grave, ima stay mommas baby
