Wow, You never really were one for long intro's were you ma
Just hear me out

Before I talk to you
Let me just take you more back
Talking like way way back
When we couldn't afford jack
I'm talking like mmm 2000 I'm thinking
Everyone was concered about the Olympics
We were concered about living
Remember ma, that was the year you had to leave us
You got off to a better job in Europe just so you could feed us
And you'd write to us every week from that continent mom
And it's ironic cause' thats exactly where I'm writing this from
And it's so amazing though
I just wish that you would got here
Me and Turner working harder then ever, this is our year
You know that he's been killing every beat that I've stuck in my chest
And while I was making this your face just jumped in my head
And it's all good ma
That day at the airport
When I said goodbye
You knew it was temporary but still you cried
And I'll never forget that moment
My plane is about to take off
So mama I better go

Hey there ma, don't ya cry
Wipe away those tears from your hazel eyes
We'll do it on our own (we'll do it on our) own
I know the pain comes
But then the pain goes
Just know we need storm
To get a rainbow
We'll do it on our own (we'll do it on our) own
So don't cha worry mama

See these critics try to ruin me
Attack me with that scrutiny
But everytime I look into your eyes
I see the you in me
You make me see the truth in me
And honestly and truthfully I'll buy my mom a house
Before you catch me coping nueve
Nahh, and I'm thankfull for the way that you raised me
And for everytime you clamped up my car when the registration wasn't paid
That was crazy
But I'm thankfull for everything ma
Even the ass whoopings that you gave me
And I can't wait till you see my name in flashing lights
Living in paradise
Celebrating every night
And all of it will be because of you
So it's fairly right
That everytime that you aquire the potential bragging rights
And I used to give you attitude
I would get mad at you but all along you were my parachute
And everytime you made me sink or swim when other people said it's wrong
You said it's discipline, I lie you ma

Hey there ma, don't ya cry
Wipe away those tears from your hazel eyes
We'll do it on our own (we'll do it on our) own
I know the pain comes
But then the pain goes
Just know we need storm
To get a rainbow
We'll do it on our own (we'll do it on our) own
So don't cha worry mama

Ma, I love you so much
And there is nothing on this planet
That I wouldn't do to see you smile
And I need you to know that
You did what you needed to do as a parent
So don't feel guilty about nothin'
You made sacrifices so that we could live a life that you couldn't
So happy Mother's Day ma, I love you

Hey there ma, don't ya cry
Wipe away those tears from your hazel eyes
We'll do it on our own (we'll do it on our) own
I know the pain comes
But then the pain goes
Just know we need storm
To get a rainbow
We'll do it on our own (we'll do it on our) own
So don't cha worry mama
