LYRICS:

(Verse 1)

Thank you, mommy, i try to say the words calmly /
but im a little too sensitive, you helped make me an anomaly /
i cry on your shoulder, put my head in your lap /
think of all the fun we had, and how we'll never get it back /
the sound of your laugh, feel of your hand on my back /
hiking through the woods, eating the lunch that we packed /
My biggest fan in the crowd, im still watching ya clap /
youre the angel on my shoulder, pushing me back to the track /
i woulda thought that be enough, for you to be saved /
maybe god wants a golf course, on that land that YOU saved /
Most little girls, they dream about guys with porsches /
you stared up at the ceiling imaginin carin for horses /
most popular chick, growing up, just like my sister /
You will always live on, in her voice, i hear your whisper.

(Verse 2)

Thank you, mommy, for all the songs youve sung softly /
You put me to sleep, something now I do hardly /
Plus, also, think about it, you made me an emcee /
kinda awesome actually, you raised me, creatively /
You are my salve, my rock, you never give up /
I was a whole lot a trouble, pissed off, with bad luck /
You never got embarrassed, when I dressed like a punk /
Now you always check my status, hoping that I'm not drunk /
Mom, you created a beast, artists think for themselves /
Now I thank my lucky stars im at home while you're not well /
Id forever hate myself if I turned to music and shrank /
I know its near the end now, i need a billion bars to thank /
You inspired me to act, you taught me how to think /
You showed me the arts, you see beauty in everything.

(Verse 3)

Thank you, mommy, for all the truths you taught me /
In any conflict, I'll always think about my mommy /
But its time to man up now, mom, im scared /
You were the person i fully knew, who'd always be there /
I can picture myself now, rooftop, screaming in the dark /
I cant imagine living a single minute without my heart /
But I promise to go on, for you and my seeds /
I promise to watch my money, and stay away from all that greed /
I promise to support pops, with anything he needs /
And my best friend, your daughter and me, we holdin down the tree /
Plus YOUR sister, together, reminiscing about your grace /
Passing pictures around, like kids, lovingly study ya face /
We suffer now, cuz we all lost like 30 years /
But mom thats 60+ years of greatness better than your peers.
