Momma

To the moms and the mom figures
Grandmommas, cousins, aunties, and all the sisters
To the mommas we all lost we all miss you

The-
The-
Thelonius

See the sunlight open as the moon folds
Tryna find a new way of saying something old
Let a Negro kill his ego, flowers we grow
Blossom a story that most mothers told
You bore life on such a hostile planet
Endure damage yet all the while manage
To raise a human being into being human
The kind of song you mommas sing, it's different music
Gimme a minute to recognize
The woman that gave me life
And blessings to the woman
That gave me a daughter twice
From Gloria to Jeniffer to others in between
Motherhood is a film, I'm learning through every scene
But I'm selfless, I dedicate my sixteen
To those who lost moms they only see in their dreams
Fighting court battles and custody through expenses
Closing open wounds or mending some broken fences
Let me reach for my hip, I'm extending my clip
Three more bars to go, two anchors, one ship
I'm losing my sense of purpose
They both give me a grip
Take a bow, thanking you now for sticking to the script

And I love you momma
And I love you momma
Sing along (Ohhh)
One time for the mothers of the world
Two times for the mothers of the world

And I love you momma
And I love you momma
Sing along (Ohhh)
One time for the mothers of the world
Two times for the mothers of the world

There's no one quite like you
There's no better than now
To tell you we love you

There's no one quite like you
There's no better than now
To tell you we love you
