'61 ft. Charvon Lyrics

Ayy, what's up, Momma

This one's for you, Momma

You raised me on loyalty and honor

Respect and for that I love you, Momma

Been through it all but we made it through, Momma

You the reason I know blood is thicker than water

So, this one's for you, Momma

I said, I did this one for you, Momma

May 6, 83. KU Medical Center

Entered your first son I know that was the best feeling

My daddy was illing he lost a woman like you

It changed his world

He threatened to take his life too

Kinda feeling though, what would life be without you

Loyal, strong, educated, and beautiful

Gamed up this game ain't nothing new to you

Really enjoyed my childhood, give thanks to you

When it was good, it was all good

When it was bad, it was all bad

But we still had each other

Remember walking in while you was cooking up

Bricks on the table just really seemed normal to us

Split my lip on accident

You and Debbie was fighting

Said I took the stitches like a champ and didn't cry about it

But when my Grandma passed, man, I cried about it

But all I wanted to do was be there for you

Calumet PD put hands on you it changed me

Admire Malcolm X, he spoke on his own thing

Little bro pops act like he ain't get you pregnant

You simply dismissed him, I gotta respect it

Even though later on it left my bro neglected

DCFS came through, but you intercepted

Saw you break down like that, really messed me up

But how you pose to feel when they come and take the son

Sent me to KC with the family for a while

My first time on the run, but I was only 9

But there was no way I was gonna leave my brother behind

Went to court that day, I knew it was my time

So thankful that I met Ms. Hobson

First foster lady used to lock me in the basement hostage

Really hate that lady, and I'm just being honest

Even though you say don't be that way, choose another option

When you went to jail, felt like I had no options

14 got a sack, and I hit the streets grinding

Led to complications in school just didn't work out

But how can I focus on school when the lights is out

Coat for a cover, opened the oven

Before I went to sleep, I said a prayer for my mother

Homicide investigation stuck to our word

I was home with you when the murder occurred

Damn, we been through it all, Momma

When my pops passed, couldn't even call on Momma

You was incarcerated, that's double the pain

But since a kid, I learned to just deal with the pain

Through all the turmoil, our love stayed the same

So much to say I can't fit it in the 16

I can't fit it in the 16

Strong, black, and independent, yeah, that was you

No matter how hard life got, you always stuck through

The good times, the bad times, the sun and rain

Seeing my Momma through them glass walls, y'all couldn't feel my pain

The pain deep, damn near shed a tear as I'm writing this

Locked in the system, she just wanted to provide for her kids

Daddy wasn't there, that shit really changed me

My kids would never know the feeling of having a dead beat

My big bro laced me up with game, and I'm forever thankful

Showed me how to be a man, don't know how I could ever thank him

But back to you, Momma

You raised us on loyalty and honor

Raised five kids without no father

Being in and out the system just made your job harder

Even when times was hard, you still did your best

Irreplaceable for you, I give my last breath

Ayy, what's up, Momma

This one for you, Momma

You raised me on loyalty and honor

Respect and for that I love you, Momma

Been through it all but we made it through, Momma

You the reason I know blood is thicker than water

So, this one for you, Momma

I said, I did this one for you, Momma
