Rae Watts - Motherly Love Lyrics

Yo ma, I want to thank ya
I want to thank ya because you made me with a total stranger
I know sometimes we go too far with all the anger
But, even in those moments, I would never want to trade ya
Yo ma, I want to thank ya
I know your personality is different
But I know that you listen
You're not afraid to speak your mind and bluff out like a chicken
All that glitter's isn't gold and you said they never glisten
A Mercedes and Porsche is what you'll get in the future
I remember those days where I really needed a tutor
I could've grown up to be a gangbanging shooter
But you showed me that my knowledge is for more than a looter
That's my mama, don't mess with her
She's a woman, so don't ever put stress on her
She's a mother, and her kids don't f*ck with that
No matter if their white, red, yellow, green, or black
That's my mama, don't mess with her
She's a woman, so don't ever put stress on her
She's a mother, and her kids don't f*ck with that
No matter if their white, red, yellow, green, or black
You could've given up a million times
But you've taken time
To fix the crime, starting with the kid
Who costed more than dimes
I'd hear the chime
That's the day I won't forget
A thousand times, I love you
That's what you said before my bedtime
You could've given up a million times
But you've taken time
To fix the crime, starting with the kid
Who costed more than dimes
I'd hear the chime
That's the day I won't forget
A thousand times, I love you
That's what you said before my bedtime
Thinking about the days, the mistakes that I made
I let the memories fade, and then I slandered your name
If I had issues, you would never cut off the care
Even at another place, you made sure that you were there
We were indifferent, that's what made us bond
We had different opinions of subjects we were fond of
Time has passed us by, now I'm out of high school
You remember getting calls of me in class acting a fool
Look at me, I'm a different tool in your toolbelt
You were not afraid to always say how you felt
You would always play with the cards that you were dealt
And you had the heart of gold, you would never let it melt
That's my mama, don't mess with her
She's a woman, so don't ever put stress on her
She's a mother, and her kids don't f*ck with that
No matter if their white, red, yellow, green, or black
