Tell Mama Lyrics

Mom, I know that I'm the oldest

You've seen that I've been growing

Thank you for teaching me to be the man that you know of

I been going through the worst just to see you in a better place

Put our faith in God hands, so we see the better days

Thank you for raising my little brother in this cold, cold world

We put burden on your shoulders, but don't ever see you cry

I know I'm leaving off to college

Yeah, I moved on with my life

But I promise I'ma miss you like every single night

Ain't nobody that's quite like you

All I gotta say is thank you for what you've done

Coming home from a long shift

Still make sure that we ate

Even if you didn't eat, you make sure that we had a plate

You still young and you filled with curiosity

Punching in the clock, I know you hate it

With all honesty, I call on you, you call on me

I know what you're going through

I just hope you know that I got nothing but the love for you

Dear Grandma, I know we've been apart

Detroit to Maryland, we don't ever get a heart to heart

I know you've been tired

You've been servicing this family for longer than I've been around

Never see you cry or complain

Even if you feeling pain, you make sure your grandson's straight

I appreciate it

Been that role model in my life

I know I filled up with pride, but I'm proud of you

Been in and out of hospitals

Can't show how much that I acknowledge you

You a warrior

I know it's hard way back home with no support

You out here, proving

You can do it all on your own

You make sure that your home a happy home

Four kids, one not even yours

Proof how much you love

Strong black queen, you deserve the world

I give it to you

Every time you call, I pick up

Even when I'm in a rush, we'll always be in touch

Just consider me a son

Grandma, you appreciate it

Appreciate your work, Mama

You was so young when you gave me life

It feel like it's a robbery

Promise to repay my whole life

I know we had to up and downs in and out of fights

I can't get it right, but I knew that you understood though

Understood how to love

From your care, you even changed the sheets

When I used to go and pee in the bed, kept me fed

Teenage years came and you got me by a thread

By a thread

And even if the weight breaking your back, I'll be here for you

All you gotta do is hit my line and I'll be there for you

Care for you

Pick you up and nobody is there for you

Put a smile on your face

You done taught me everything I do

Put a smile on your face

You ain't perfect, but you make it look all effortless

That's why I love you

Mama ain't no one above you

I love you mommy

My dearest mommy

You make me happy when I am sad

I want to tell you I really love you

When I am with you, I'm so glad
