Mama Lyrics by Hurricane G

All Woman

1997

[Intro: Child]
A 1, and-a 2, and-a 3
[Verse 1: Hurricane G]
Mama you’re the world’s greatest teacher
Please forgive me I didn’t mean to deceit ya
And everything you said was gonna happen
Happened exactly how you said they would
Growing up in the hood was hard
But you showed me to how to believe in God
And in myself, self-knowledge
I just couldn’t fucks with college (college, college)
The streets gave me a new heartbeat
The devil made me sell myself cheap
Tricking, just like the rest of the family
Not even daddy could handle me
For a long time, I was convinced, jinxed
That you didn’t give a shit
I didn’t understand your righteousness, harshness
But you still blessed me
Raised me and loved me ‘til the end
My one and only best friend
[?]
I love you
Word up mommy
You know I love you (I love you, I love you)
[Chorus]
Women and man: Day by day, and night by night
I gotta thank you for giving me life
Man: You’s a positive and a negative
You always showed me the way to live
Women and man: Day by day, and night by night
I gotta thank you for giving me life
Man: You’s a positive and a negative
You always showed me the way to live
[Verse 2: Hurricane G]
The one woman in the whole family
Who showed us how to be classy
Even if we had to be trashy
On the low
And you let me know when a nigga had to go
You nursed me back to good health
When I was sick from too much shit
And supported me every time shit go too thick
For me to cope
You was my inspiration and hope
That life could be better
Forcing me to work for legal cheddar
While you work 24 hours
I felt your spiritual power
But I was too sour
And [?]
I’m sorry for bringing you so many tears
Stressing you out with fears
But you always knew I would make it
You never faked it
Glory be to the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit
Check it out mommy I did it
Ha ha, yeah yeah yeah I did it
[Chorus]
Women and man: Day by day, and night by night
I gotta thank you for giving me life
Man: You’s a positive and a negative
You always showed me the way to live
Women and man: Day by day, and night by night
I gotta thank you for giving me life
Man: You’s a positive and a negative
You always showed me the way to live
[Verse 3: Hurricane G]
You had a plan to protect the fam from destruction
But there was already too much corruption
Always had something to say about the way I was living
Always giving
And caring for others
Everybody’s mother
And when I go pregnant you didn’t sweat it
You took care of me and your granddaughter
Giving up your last quarter (quarter)
For milk and pampers
And we’d like to thank ya
For showing us how beautiful a real
Woman lives for the real woman that digs
Deep into her soul (soul)
[Chorus]
Women and man: Day by day, and night by night
I gotta thank you for giving me life
Man: You’s a positive and a negative
You always showed me the way to live
Women and man: Day by day, and night by night
I gotta thank you for giving me life
Man: You’s a positive and a negative
You always showed me the way to live
Women and man: Day by day, and night by night
I gotta thank you for giving me life
Man: You’s a positive and a negative
You always showed me the way to live
Women and man: Day by day, and night by night
I gotta thank you for giving me life
Man: You’s a positive and a negative
You always showed me the way to live
[Outro: Children]
Love you momma!
