[Chorus]

Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me

And I'm still mommas baby

Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me

And I'm still mommas baby



Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me

And I'm still mommas baby

Daddy, daddy wasn't home, so momma raised me

And I'm still mommas baby



[Verse 1]

March 11, 1981

my momma gave birth to a hell raising heavenly son

And my daddy was a fool addicted to brown

So he wasn't ever around, but my momma held me down



When me and big sister had nothing to eat

My momma gave up her last trying to make ends meet

She was a school teacher, working to provide for her fam

Struggling in AA, to submit to gods plan



Them long twelve's steps of hardway are all on your own

No family, few friends, my momma was all alone

She did it for her children, struggling to make a living

And some how we still had food on thanksgiving



When I can barely talk momma taught me to pray

And right then I knew that we'd have a better life some day

She still give up her last just to see me smile

That's the definition of love for you child, I love my momma



[Chorus]



[Verse 2]

My momma was my role model, I had no father figure

Just a bunch of pipe dreams of being richer

But as times got tougher my life just got rougher

It hurts so bad to see me watch my momma suffer



Its so hard to cope when you so dead broke

So momma used to make me memorize the song quotes

In the middle of a session momma gave god praise

I knew what it meant to struggle at such an early age



Remember them days she barely earned minimum wage

But made sure I had new cloths to start the seventh grade

She met my step father, and walked down the aisle

I praised he sent somebody that would make my momma smile



He raised me as his own, he taught me to be a man

Adopted me and anne, and gave momma a hand

I just love to see that beautiful smile on momma face

My momma could never be replaced, I love my momma



[Chorus]



[Verse 3]

20 years of struggling, done came to a close

no more old, torn up, and hand me down cloths

she derserve the best, and never nothing less

no stress, give my momma that Gucci dress



the times were hard but we done made it out the rain

the storm was severe but we overcame the hurricane

them rainy days seem to last so long

when them times got hard my momma told me be strong



my number 1 supporter ever since day one

and still till this day momma would die for her son

no more slumz, all them rainy days are done

no a days we taking trips to Disney world just for fun



I put you in a benz take you out that nova

Its been a long rough road, but that bumpy rides over

You raise me from a baby, my number 1 lady

And until the day I'm in my grave, ima stay mommas baby



[Chorus]
