Fast life

[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]
