This is for mom

Miss Linda Harwood

Miss Cathy Hill

This is for you.



I respect my mother

With every step I take

She was there for my first step

In the first place

Everybody wants out on their own

Now that I'm grown

I wanna be back home

In a world full of vipers

Only my mother's love was righteous

I feel I've been to hell and back three times

I could never sum it up with these rhymes

Looking for a story to share

With somebody, but they never seem to care

While I'm looking for this person everywhere

I'm slippin', cause my mom is right here

Life moves along so fast

When I see real love at last it's past

That ain't gonna happen to me

I can hear my conscience rapping to me

It's like “Hey, you've only got one real friend

From the cradle, to the grave, and back again.”

With unconditional love

That's my mother I'm speakin' of.



That's just the way it is (That's just the way it is)

My love will never change (My love will never change)

That's just the way it is (That's just the way it is)

(Mamma)



And I know it's true

Even in my darkest time

In my darkest hour

When my heart is blind

And I'm giving nobody respect

My mother's there to put my ass in check

And she don't play that mister famous trash

She was putting them diapers on my ass

She's seen every side of me

It don't matter how thuggish I'd try to be

NAW every week in the back yard

Now I'm in the big time, trying to act hard

What mattered when I looked a years back

Was mamma, bringing the chairs back

Supportin' every dream I got

You best believe, man, I dreamed a lot

Me and Rude Boy, I'm trying to tell ya,

Not a day goes by in life, we don't feel ya

We ain't taking nothing for granted

Mom's lasagna is so good I can't stand it!

Mrs. Hill always greets me with a hug

Now I see where Rudy got all his love



That's just the way it is (That's just the way it is)

My love will never change (My love will never change)

That's just the way it is (That's just the way it is)

(Mamma)

That's just the way it is (That's just the way it is)

My love will never change (My love will never change)

That's just the way it is (That's just the way it is)

(Mamma)



Everybody around me, they use me, and go for self

They want cash, equity, bank and wealth

Mom puts that on the shelf

All she cares about is my health

It all seems too good to be

As I'm battling life, mamma's backin' me

And she only really wants one thing of mine

Just a little time

Mother, in this world of scars

Money and snakes and labeled wars

Whatever else life puts me through

It's all #2

When it comes to you.

And your love is all I treasure

My real father just didn't measure

He was gone, without a thing to say!

I know he would have failed in comparison anyway.

You gave me 3 times the love

Enough for you, him, and the God above

Rude Boy, his daddy was strong,

Stayed holding on when the ease was gone.

Now a days, everything's all right

Millionaire rocking these microphones all night.

Makin' all of our dreams come true,

And we're full of love, mamma, thanks to you.!

I'm still sorry about the china cabinet

Wish I could bring it all back now, dammit!

Linda, Ron, Cathy and Ryo

We want you to know that we love you.



That's just the way it is (That's just the way it is)

My love will never change (My love will never change)

That's just the way it is (That's just the way it is)

(Mamma)

That's just the way it is (That's just the way it is)

My love will never change (My love will never change)

That's just the way it is (That's just the way it is)

(Mamma)
