[00:26.68]When the day breaks, I display grace
[00:29.32]Through infinite takes, and heartbreaks
[00:32.61]The ground shakes, talks around race
[00:35.40]Through birth quakes, I keep my crown straight
[00:38.54]And bow face to you, it's salutations
[00:41.53]I hold you high, you brought me in creation
[00:44.78]You were patient with me dribblin' in the basement
[00:47.77]And said, "Where's your common sense, boo? Don't waste it"
[00:50.55]The pain that you had, it was hard to place it
[00:53.83]For my dad, I couldn't be a replacement
[00:57.00]I yearn for plates with catfish and collard greens
[01:00.21]You got me into school, off of Mama schemes
[01:03.60]I know I can lean, on you for anything
[01:06.35]Ain't have to want for nothing, you my everything
[01:09.51]They say we don't get to choose our mothers
[01:12.72]Somehow I know our souls chose each other
[01:15.83]Saint something, please protect this family
[01:21.58]Give cover, from the world's insanities
[01:28.48]I know you got a lot on your plate
[01:31.75]The stress is on a lot of your faith
[01:35.25]And no matter what's coming
[01:37.27]I will be there, I will be there
[01:39.59]Jesus walked across my lawn
[01:43.83]And told me you the mom I'm supposed to have
[01:46.76]Nobody in my life is as close as that
[01:49.72]If I'ma write you a song ain't no holdin' back
[01:52.62]Now, I wasn't raised in no cul-de-sac
[01:56.02]You said, "Stay in school," 'cause you ain't know I rap
[01:59.21]Teachin' me in moments I ain't know was class
[02:01.97]That's why every girl I go home with be showin' class
[02:05.47]When I show my ass, you gave me a whippin'
[02:08.50]The paradigm shifted and parentin' is different
[02:11.77]Black woman strength in search of vulnerability
[02:14.77]You did everything you could and did it willingly
[02:18.18]Instilled in me values of what a child do
[02:21.31]To say you my Ma, I'm ever so proud to
[02:24.26]You wrote me letters to get myself better
[02:27.26]I still cherish when we pray together
[02:30.44]That's a time I really feel the Lord
[02:33.67]I thank you for the your declarations and your vision board
[02:36.77]It hit a chord, when they rolled you into surgery
[02:40.02]Mama, you the sky and earth to me
[02:43.41]Saint something, please protect this family
[02:50.38]Give cover, from the world's insanities
[02:55.77]I know you got a lot on your plate
[02:59.05]The stress is on a lot of your faith
[03:01.78]And no matter what's coming
[03:04.39]I will be there, I will be there
[03:07.73]Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah (Oh-oh)
[03:13.84]Ah, ah, oh, oh, ah, ah (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:20.75]Ah, ah, ah, ah
[03:30.20]Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
