When I was young me and my mama had beef   15 years old kicked out on the streets   Though back at the time i'm young and wreckless of course   How could I steal from my mom and not show a bit of remore   Somewhat ashamged to speak about it   Lost all my mama's trust over what   A pair of sneakers and an outfit   I got caught, this Ruff Ryder got weak   When I saw the tears running down the side of cheeks   Catching flashbacks of when I was a baby in her arms   Doctor said I had a fever and her baby was in harm   106 degrees, I was close to my death   But you kept me at ease, held me close to your brest   This woman raised me, bathed me, the fact is it hurts   Cause soon as she forgave me I went right back in her purse   Just fights and more lies, nights with more cries   So when I see your smile now it's a sight for sore eyes   You know your baby boy is blowing up   But it wasn't all good growing up   I shed tears with my baby sister   Over the years we were tighter than the other little kids   Thank God we had the same daddy   But came drama when things go wrong don't blame mama   There's no way that I can pay you back   But as a man I think I finally understand   I love you ma   I love you mama   Ain't nobody ever taking your place   I love you mama   And I love to see the smile on your face   I love you mama   You know I wanna give you the world   I love you mama   You'll always be my number one girl   I love you mama   I'm so proud to be your son   I love you mama
