This is for mom
Mrs Linda Harwood
Mrs Cathy Hill
This is for you
(Violent J)
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 slipping, cause my mom is right here
Life moves along so fast
When I see real love at last its 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 speaking of.
(Chorus)
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)
(Momma)
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 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 momma, bringing the chairs back
Supporting 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
Moms 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
(Chorus 2x)
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)
(Momma)
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, momma's backing 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
Its all number two
When it comes to you
And your love is all I treasure
My real father just didnt measure
He was gone, without a thing to say!
I know he would have failed in comparison anyway
You gave me three 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
Making all of our dreams come true
And we 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 Raul
We want you to know that we love you
(Chorus 2x)
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)
(Momma)
