Текст песни Momma (Edited)) - Ghostface Killah , Megan Rochell

Mmm, this is for all my women
That been goin' through the struggle
On welfare, livin' the rough life
It's gonna be alright
Yes, yes
Tell 'em, girl
That's right
This is how we gon' do it
I want you to explain your story
I'ma tell you mines
Tell 'em

Hustlin', strivin', strugglin', survivin', mama (Mama)
Never realizin' that you are a diamond, mama (Mama)
Through the sun or the rain, through the pain
I'ma hold you down (Hold you down, hold you down)
Through the good and the bad times, I got love for you
Through the stress and the heartache, so much love for you

It's not a difference, boo, it's real life, yo

It's not your mama's fault, it's your father's fault
It's your father's fault, your mother is an alcoholic
Confusin' the brain from the booze and the pain
And plus, he cheated on her, beated on her, smacked dead in the rain
She lost her first child in '74
And that led to nervous breakdowns, Bacardi dark, she downin' it raw
She can't take it, she constantly cryin', fallin' down to her knees
Like, "Help me, Lord, please, I'm ready to leave"
All she needed was somebody to rub her feet
Give her a nice hug and rescue her from off these streets, come on

Hustlin', strivin', strugglin', survivin', mama (Mama)
Never realizin' that you are a diamond, mama (Mama, yeah)
Through the sun or the rain, through the pain
I'ma hold you down (Hold you down, hold you down)
Through the good and the bad times, I got love for you
Through the stress and the heartache, so much love for you

It's not a difference, it's only an age difference, boo, hear me out

I been sent by an angel to snatch you up
Take you way above the clouds and back you up
At night, you can lay in my arms
Feel a heart beatin' Don status in the sheets, I'm keepin' you warm
Ain't no nigga gon' do what I do
I'ma take care of you and your kids
Take the Bent' and go handle your biz
The bills is paid, the cable's back on
I cook, you know the C's want they Nickelodeon on
I'm not ashamed to sport you, floss you or gloss you out
Fat, skinny, out of shape, I'll Dior you out

Hustlin', strivin', strugglin', survivin'
, Mama (It's gonna be alright, mama)
Never realizin' that you are a diamond, mama (You ain't gotta worry)
Through the sun or the rain, through the pain, I'ma hold
You down (It's alright, hold you down, hold you down)
Through the good and the bad times, I got love for you (It's alright)
Through the stress and the heartache, so much love for you

Wipe your eyes, wipe your eyes, boo, wipe your eyes

Yo, in the hood, there's a struggle, my girl is in trouble
She's lackin' guidance in her mind, she's blinded and puzzled
Her pops never sold her the ropes
Her moms raised mad kids on her own
She never had a strong man in her home
Nothin' in this life (In this life)
The sun don't always shine (No, no)
But it can't rain all the time (That's right)
Everything's gonna be alright (It's alright)
Somebody sees your pain (That's right)
You will never hurt again (I got you)
I see you, mama (I got you, I got you, girl)
I see you, mama, you can dry your eyes
It's alright, baby, dry your eyes)
It will be alright (It's alright, baby, it will be alright)

Hustlin', strivin', strugglin', survivin', mama (Mama, yeah)
Never realizin' that you are a diamond, mama (You're my diamond)
Through the sun or the rain, through the pain, I'ma
Hold you down (Hold you down, always hold you down)
Through the good and the bad times, I got love for you
Through the stress and the heartache
So much love for you (Yeah, yeah)

Oh-oh-oh, yeah
Oh-oh, mama
Through the good and the bad times
Through the stress and the heartache
