Yeah,

Whoa, whoa.

I love you.
Mama.
Whoa, whoa.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yo, yo.
Mama, I love you.
Yeah,
yeah.
Whoa, whoa.
I love you.
You know what I mean?
Yo, yo.
All right.
This one comes straight from my heart.
I gotta give you thanks and praises.
Straight from my heart.
For every time that you've been there.
Straight from the start.
You pull me up from I was a baby.
Straight from my heart.
Mama, I love you.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh,
Mama,
I've been searching for the right word to say to you for so long.
To display to you the strong bond,
the emotional connection we got.
For the love that you give year to year.
Before I was born up to the time now we're there.
Through the struggle, Mama, don't despair.
When Papa never did there, maybe he was scared.
But you never fared.
Always prepared.
Nurtured two young sons.
Now just look at our bed.
Give thanks for all your blood,
sweat,
and tears.
Oh, Mama, I will always be there.
Appreciate the wisdom you share.
Oh, Mama, don't worry.
You heard.
You got the truth.
This Mama never left us.
No time.
That's the truth.
All the truth.
Feel the truth.
That's the truth.
All those times the Ratch never left us behind.
That's the truth.
Feel the truth.
Check the truth.
The real truth.
So anyway, just take way down life avenues.
That's the truth.
All the truth.
This is the truth.
Feel the truth.
I'll never leave you, Mama.
I'll always be your youth.
The truth.
The truth.
And this one comes straight from my heart.
I gotta give you thanks and praises.
Straight from my heart.
For every time that you've been there.
Straight from the start.
You grew me up from I was a baby.
Straight from my heart.
Oh, Mama, I love you dear.
So, Mama, don't you worry.
I'm proud about the way that I've been living.
I'm checking Thanksgiving because you have been a blessing.
The lesson you taught, we cannot forget.
There in our minds, Mama, you know it said.
It's harder to maintain than obtain.
These material things,
they cannot conquer my brain.
My soul is intact, Mama.
Hear what I'm saying.
Don't cry no more.
I feel your pain.
Every day, Mama, I keep on praying.
You know you'll never lose me to fame.
I'm sorry for the times I complained.
Mama, let me tell you clear and plain.
Yo, the truth is, Mama, you never let us down.
That's the truth.
Feel the truth.
Check the truth.
The real truth.
And though times are hard,
you still did wear the crown.
That's the truth.
Feel the truth.
Check the truth.
The real truth.
So anyway, just take way down life avenues.
That's the truth.
This is the truth.
Mama, take this as the truth.
I'll never leave you, Mama.
I'll always be your youth.
The truth, the truth.
And this one comes straight from my heart.
I gotta give you thanks and praises.
Straight from my heart.
For every time that you've been there.
Straight from the start.
You grew me up from I was a baby.
Straight from my heart.
Mama, I love you dear.
This one comes straight from my heart.
I gotta give you thanks and praises.
Straight from my heart.
For every time that you've been there.
Straight from my heart.
You grew me up from I was a baby.
Straight from my heart.
Mama, I love you dear.
