Am I livin' the way that my momma want for me
Goin' through a rough time is what she really hates to see
But when I do me, she's as proud as any mother would be
In disbelief that she saw her son on her TV
Now
I love to call her, tell her that I made it
Been there since the day one before my fans said I'm underrated
But now what I really hate it slacken of in school
Tell me I'm a fool, finally get it now, time that I repay it
You know I got a dream
Now you gotta trust me
Let me be free
Let me go and chase the money
You know it's all for you, you inspire me
I know you think it's gon' work, never ever lied to me
Never ever lied to me, never no
Ma I need some help I don't know which way I should go
Knockin' late at night, waitin' for you right at the door
It was cold, but you still walked us to the store
Tryna make a way for your only baby
I owe it all to you, cause you the one who saved me
I need you by my side, cause I been losing lately
I love you, momma, even when you actin' crazy
I gotta fix my way, cause I'm the oldest child
I know there's days you mad, cause I be actin' wild
You say I'm actin' different, I ain't been home in a while
Just keep on trustin' me, I promise to make you proud
365 days, tryna make you proud
Consistently failing, I feel so abandoned, but not when you around
Me and you can run this town
Jay-Z can't stop us now
I know my mom will cry when I'm in the cap and gown
Because I cannot let you down
I'm shootin' for the stars,
I love to see you smile every time you hear these bars
We in it to go far
Buy you a couple cars
Maybe I'll get rich and we can take a trip to Mars
Through the light or through the dark, I got you by my side
When we havin' conversations, you never waste my time
If we fall, then we gon' climb, or we can even fly
I guess my verse is over, so I love you and goodbye
Never ever lied to me, never no
Ma I need some help I don't know which way I should go
Knockin' late at night, waitin' for you right at the door
It was cold, but you still walked us to the store
Tryna make a way for your only baby
I owe it all to you, cause you the one who saved me
I need you by my side, cause I been losing lately
I love you, momma, even when you actin' crazy
I gotta fix my way, cause I'm the oldest child
I know there's days you mad, cause I be actin' wild
You say I'm actin' different, I ain't been home in a while
Just keep on trustin' me, I promise to make you proud
