Momma

To the moms and the mom figures

Grandmommas, cousins, aunties, and all the sisters

To the mommas we all lost we all miss you

The-

The-

Thelonius

See the sunlight open as the moon folds

Tryna find a new way of saying something old

Let a Negro kill his ego, flowers we grow

Blossom a story that most mothers told

You bore life on such a hostile planet

Endure damage yet all the while manage

To raise a human being into being human

The kind of song you mommas sing, it's different music

Gimme a minute to recognize

The woman that gave me life

And blessings to the woman

That gave me a daughter twice

From Gloria to Jeniffer to others in between

Motherhood is a film, I'm learning through every scene

But I'm selfless, I dedicate my sixteen

To those who lost moms they only see in their dreams

Fighting court battles and custody through expenses

Closing open wounds or mending some broken fences

Let me reach for my hip, I'm extending my clip

Three more bars to go, two anchors, one ship

I'm losing my sense of purpose

They both give me a grip

Take a bow, thanking you now for sticking to the script

And I love you momma

And I love you momma

Sing along (Ohhh)

One time for the mothers of the world

Two times for the mothers of the world

And I love you momma

And I love you momma

Sing along (Ohhh)

One time for the mothers of the world

Two times for the mothers of the world

There's no one quite like you

There's no better than now

To tell you we love you

There's no one quite like you

There's no better than now

To tell you we love you
