Lyrics

I gotta thank you mommy dearest for keeping my head the clearest
When it seems like times is rough and trouble is round and near us
Even kept a good appearance when money would start to perish
And for that I thank God that he gave me you as a parent
Ain't never met someone as strong or who could take a wrong
Make it right then take short money and stretch it long
Yo I'd trade my life for you that's the least that I could do
Know that when I'm watching you really I just admire you
Not only did you give me life but you turned and raised me right
How I like the way you made your boy stand up and fight
Darkest nights nothings right when your kids is out your sight
Yo I gotta go before my mom puts me out tonight
Best friends even when you had a long day
Still found the time to talk to Kevin in the hallway
Two bedrooms we next door neighbors
But you gave me my room and there's something I gotta say to you

Chorus:Mom I'm so in love with you There's no me without you
Here's something just for you I love you
Mom I know that you've been wronged I know your days been long
But still you're going on You made me strong

Look at us two peas in the pod
Same outlook same strengths and the same God
Things you did for me I can't even tell you all
Know that you gave me a parachute so I'd never fall
Too hard that's the best way to describe it
True love I give to you and no doctor had to prescribe it
Yeah we had some rocky times what relationship doesn't
Showed me how to be a man with the world saying you couldn't
But you went and proved them wrong mom like you always do
And when I didn't step up to the plate I know it bothered you
Times I got mad at you it didn't even matter
Cuz I know for every one there's about ten I made you madder
But you still kept coming back showing love
And you still kept picking up giving hugs
And you still kept coming back all the thugs
And for that I gotta thank you mom just because

Chorus

One song ain't enough time for me to express my thanks
Or my love yo we gonna need some more blank
Cd's now when you think of me pop one in
And bring out that smile oh so heavenly
I don' take it for granted that the earth is where Kevin be
Cuz you was young but strong so you kept me
Every breath I thank you and the lord
I was your first child you had never been a mother before
And if my vote counts for anything though you the best one
I'm in church talking about saints I know the next one
When rap comes through we'll still be next door neighbors
What goes around comes around look at the house I gave you
Step outside look at your boy I'm doing all good now
Thanks to your choices like we getting out the hood now
So our journey completes it's circle
And mom I apologize for everything I did that hurt you

Chorus
