Lyrics Mama - Trina

Mama I wanna thank you
For sharing your blessings upon me
Taking time to understand the lady I wanna be
(Yes mama)

Mama I wanna thank you
For sharing your blessings upon me (oh mama)
Taking time to understand the lady I wanna be

This cold world had me numb the pain like novacaine
'Til mama sat me down unfold the gate
Showed me the straight path through the narrow lane
Sunshine after rain the joy of pain
Mama, you raised a good girl don't worry
You used to say take it slow Trina don't hurry
Use to tuck me in with the bedtime story
Now I'm grown up and you still there for me
My shoulder to lean on
You kept my dreams goin'

I owe it all to you me now I got the green flowing
And I'm gon' always be your baby
And I could never repay you
For all the things that you gave me
You raised me to be a lady
And you schooled me to the game
So them n- couldn't play me

You was more than a mother, you was my friend
The greatest love of all comes from within
I know I'll never know love like this again
And beneath my wings you was the wind
I love you like none other
'Cause you could live your whole life
But you only get one mother (yes mama)

Being there for me through the thick and thin
More than just a mother you're my best friend (oh mama)
No one can come and take your place

Sometimes I wanna run to ya
Through the ups and downs I know I can still come to ya
I think about the things I done to ya
But through all the drama I know I'm still number one to ya
Uh, look at how far you brought me
All the things that you taught me
Money couldn't bought me

You never wanted us to make the same mistakes
When the game got high and they raised the stakes
You was still in my corner to press the brace
'Til I'm ready in your arms you kept me safe
Through the thick and thin I'm gon' be there for ya
I say a prayer for ya, Lord knows I care for ya

Through hard times we got stronger, mother to daughter
When I was weak you was my bridge over trouble water
Can't nobody replace you
I'm forever faithful, and for you mama I'm grateful
Your baby girl is a reflection of you
I thank the Lord up above 'cause he blessed me with you, uh
I love you like none other
'Cause you could live your whole life
But you only get one mother (yes mama)

Mama I wanna thank you
For sharing your blessings upon me (oh mama)
Taking time to understand
The lady I wanna be (yes mama)

Mama I wanna thank you
For sharing your blessings upon me (oh mama)
Taking time to understand
The lady I wanna be (yes mama)

Mama I wanna thank you
For sharing your blessings upon me (oh mama)
Taking time to understand
The lady I wanna be (yes mama)

Mama I wanna thank you
For sharing your blessings upon me (oh mama)
Taking time to understand
The lady I wanna be
