A Song For Mama ("Thankful")
- [Hook] (Singing):
- I'm so thankful for what you've given me
- Couldn't have made it without your blessing
- Gave me reason to shine again
- Told me I could do anything
- Made me look into the mirror &say one day you'll be a star
- Told me to put my best foot forward and believe it with my heart
- And I'm Grateful, I'm Grateful (yeah)
- So Thankful, so Thankful (yea eah)
- [V1]:
- Just a little girl, growing up I lost my father
- No one left to be the the man except my baby brother
- Raising three little kids was kinda tough for my mother
- With her belief in God we always made it one way or another
- Through the struggle, we learned about the hustle
- Nobody want to help you, but everybody want to judge ya
- Like if you're a man put your coat over the puddle
- Never listen to the no's always have rebuttal
- In other words I'm saying don't you ever give in
- No matter what the people say we gone win
- Awaken us everyday told us to stay in school
- Don't ever become a drop out and don't be nobody's fool
- Putting food on the table was hard, she made it work
- Looked us straight in the eyes, and said don't ever give up
- I couldn't asked for a better mom, never no way
- And I'mma keep the fight you raised in us until my last day
- [Repeat Hook]:
- [V2]:
- Trying to make it through school with no names and bo bo shoes
- Kids clowning on me, I clown back, but get the boo's
- Call my hair all nappy, leaving my spirits unhappy
- Got in a lot of fights because my defense was "To Slap Thee"
- But Momma always said I got something they want
- A great level head, and my grades stayed on point
- Let this be a lesson, don't let them ruin what you have
- I raised you to be strong through the good and bad
- And ever since that day I was the first to laugh last
- No weapons formed against me, this shall come to past
- Don't let your enemies make you drop one tear
- Don't let your enemies see no sweat or fear
- Always give the best advice, always stay planning
- Always look at everything like it has a silver lining
- From God's way, to her mouth, into my ears
- Is why I nominate you mom, Mother of the Year
- [Repeat Hook]:
- [Bridge]:
- I'm Grateful, I'm Grateful, I'm Grateful, I'm Grateful
- So Thankful, So Thankful, So Thankful, So Thankful
- I'm Grateful, So Thankful,
- So Grateful, I'm Thankful
- I'm Thankful yeah, yeah eah.
- I'm Thankful,so Thankful yeah
- [Speaking]:
- Everyone give your mother flowers everyday
- Let them know you love them
- Show them that they mean the world to you
- Be Thankful.
