Momma Lyrics by Ghostface Killah

Fishscale

2006

[Intro: Ghostface Killah]
Damn, this is for all my women
That been going through the struggle
On welfare, living the rough life
It's gonna be alright
Yes it yes uh
This is how we gonna do it
I want you to explain your story
Then I'ma tell you mines
Tell 'em

[Chorus: Megan Rochell]
Hustling, striving, struggling surviving (momma, momma)
Never realizing that you were a diamond (momma, momma)
Through the sun or the rain, through the pain I'ma hold you down (hold you down)
Through the good or the bad times (I got love for you)
Through the stress and the heartaches (so much love for you)

[Verse 1: Ghostface Killah]
It's not your momma's fault, it's your father's fault
It's your father's fault your mother is an alcoholic
Confusing the brain from the booze and the pain
And plus he cheated on her, beated on her, smack-dab in the rain
She lost her first child in '74
And that lead to nervous breakdowns
Bacardi dark she downing it raw
She can't take it she constantly crying falling down on 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

[Chorus and#: Megan Rochell]
Hustling, striving, struggling surviving (momma, momma)
Never realizing that you were a diamond (momma, momma)
Through the sun or the rain, through the pain I'ma hold you down (hold you down)
Through the good or the bad times (I got love for you)
Through the stress and the heartaches (so much love for you)

[Verse 2: Ghostface Killah]
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 the heart beating, don status in the sheets, I'm keeping 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 quote you know the seeds want their Nickelodeon on
I'm not ashamed to support you, floss you or gloss you out
Fat, skinny out of shape I'll dior you out

[Hook: Megan Rochell]
Hustling, striving, struggling surviving (momma, momma)
Never realizing that you were a diamond (momma, momma)
Through the sun or the rain, through the pain I'ma hold you down (hold you down)
Through the good or the bad times (I got love for you)
Through the stress and the heartaches (so much love for you)

[Verse 3: Ghostface Killah]
In the hood there's a struggle, my girl is in trouble
She's lacking guidance in the mind she's blinded and puzzled
Her pops never showed her the ropes
Her moms raised mad kids on her own
She never had a strong man in her home

[Verse 4: Megan Rochell]
Nothing in this life, sun don't always shine
But it can't rain all the time (everything's gonna be alright)
Somebody sees your pain, you will never hurt again
I see you momma, I see you momma
You can cry yours eyes (cry your eyes)
It will be alright (it will be alright)

[Hook: Megan Rochell]
Hustling, striving, struggling surviving (momma, momma)
Never realizing that you were a diamond (momma, momma)
Through the sun or the rain, through the pain I'ma hold you down (hold you down)
Through the good or the bad times (I got love for you)
Through the stress and the heartaches (so much love for you)
