Mama I Made It

(I wait for the day, a sweet gentle sway)

(A sweet gentle sway)

Okay, y'all gettin' on outta here

David, watch out for your lil' brother, and y'all have a good day

Love y'all

Love you too, Mom

Somebody tell my mama I made it

Mama I made it

Tell my mama I made it

Somebody tell my mama I made it

Tell my mama I made it

Copped her a Rollie for the time we never spent

She ain't never gotta worry 'bout no rent

Tell my mama I made it

She used to slap us when we used to try to cuss

I got sick of seein' you drivin' that bus

Tell my mama I made it

She used to have to worry if I'm breathin'

She ain't never gotta worry 'bout us eatin'

Tell my mama I made it

So proud of her first born, I could tell

She the only one sent me money in jail

Tell my mama I made it

She used to hold me when I used to bang my head at night

Ruth's Chris dinners don't taste as good as her eggs and rice

Couldn't be no punk, you told me early, "Son, you better fight"

Handlebars shaky, I was beggin' you for a better bike

Think it was a Mongoose or one of them BMX shits

Innocent baby pictures, never seen me bein' arrested

It was nothin' domestic, I can't hit a woman

A woman raised me, woman fed me, woman bathed me

Ghetto changed me

Mama raised me strong, won't let 'em slave me

Thank you for not smokin' crack back in the 80's

I was born healthy

We ain't have too much at all, I wasn't born wealthy

I thank God for keeping me alive

Until my mom's healthy

Tell my mama I made it

Copped her a Rollie for the time we never spent

She ain't never gotta worry 'bout no rent

Tell my mama I made it

She used to slap us when we used to try to cuss

I got sick of seein' you drivin' that bus

Tell my mama I made it

She used to have to worry if I'm breathin'

She ain't never gotta worry 'bout us eatin'

Tell my mama I made it

So proud of her first born, I could tell

She the only one sent me money in jail

Tell my mama I made it

When Freaky died, you told me, "Dave, stop cryin'"

Used to be scared to tell the truth, you told me, "Dave, stop lyin'"

You put too much inside my heart to hear that Dave stopped tryin'

It gotta be no tires or no gas if Dave not ridin'

You provided, I would ask you for expensive shit, you still would try to buy it

Disrespect my mother, I'ma start a riot

I see you lookin' tired, doin' the laundry

Hope Unc get off that rock, your baby brother been a zombie

I just let this blunt blow, remember wakin' up

The whole crib smell like gumbo

Or rice and beans when I would spend my night with fiends

You'd pray me and my brother just be cool

You just hoped me and my father never argue

Soon as I land, I'ma call you

Tell my mama I made it

Copped her a Rollie for the time we never spent

She ain't never gotta worry 'bout no rent

Tell my mama I made it

She used to slap us when we used to try to cuss

I got sick of seein' you drivin' that bus

Tell my mama I made it

She used to have to worry if I'm breathin'

She ain't never gotta worry 'bout us eatin'

Tell my mama I made it

So proud of her first born, I could tell

She the only one sent me money in jail

Tell my mama I made it

Front on mama, rather get buried instead

Introduced us to eatin' syrup and bread

Just tell my mama I made it

I met a lotta people in life, but my mama my favorite

I think I'm lit but she remind me I'm David

I ain't know what I was gon' do jail, I came home

And took you to Bloomingdale's

Missin' your perfume, thinkin' how you would smell

My mother, my heart, how could you honestly hate it?

Just wanna let her know, "Yo, Ma, you the greatest"

Tell my mama I made it

Copped her a Rollie for the time we never spent

She ain't never gotta worry 'bout no rent

Tell my mama I made it

She used to slap us when we used to try to cuss

I got sick of seein' you drivin' that bus

Tell my mama I made it

She used to have to worry if I'm breathin'

She ain't never gotta worry 'bout us eatin'

Tell my mama I made it

So proud of her first born, I could tell

She the only one sent me money in jail

Tell my mama I made it
