Lyrics Letter to My Mama - YRF Tony

(Mama taught me how to)
(Yeah, Yeah)
(Yeah, Yeah)

My mama taught me how to make 20 dollas last two weeks
And showed me how to always stand on my two feet
And to be-lieve in myself in when in disbelief
And how to smile even in the face of defeat
I had to man up cuz we were a man down
Father left the picture and you picked up crown
You had five kids and you ain't let none of us down
They threw you in the ocean I'm so glad you didn't drown
I had to make this song cuz you deserve the recognition
You made me who i am why you think I'm so ambitious
Showed me how to be a man when your man went missing
Gonna be a millionaire so you can get what you envision
Working day to day so we had food up on the table
I never truly showed to you how i am so grateful
Made something outta nothing so i know that i am able
You held us all together with a itty bitty staple
Caregiver, you were the glue
My pops left the picture and i blamed it all on you
I never knew what all my father put you through
But even in the struggles you the one that made it through

Mama i thank you
For everything
You played both parts
You are the king and queen
You are the reason why i haven't given up
You the one that held it down from the jump
Mama i thank you
For everything
You played both parts
You are the king and queen
You are the reason why i haven't given up
You the one that held it down from the jump

Still providing for the fam when you was in college
Pops was in the picture but he was never solid
Got caught up in his lies my moms told him to stop it
I might have been young but i knew it was a problem
I done seen my father use way too much force
Moms had me in her stomach and he told her to abort
It's too much going on we in the final resort
I was 8 years old when they decided to divorce
Emotions everywhere they got locked inside the vault
Every time i see my moms i think it's my fault
School got worse i began to feel hopeless
How you expect me to work when i'm so broken
It took some time to heal but i think it's gotten better
I'm a grown man but I'm my mamas boy forever
Mama you made a diamond cuz you applied pressure
I think it's about time that i finally made a letter

Mama i thank you
For everything
You played both parts
You are the king and queen
You are the reason why i haven't given up
You the one that held it down from the jump
Mama i thank you
For everything
You played both parts
You are the king and queen
You are the reason why i haven't given up
You the one that held it down from the jump
