[1] - If it wasn't for yo' momma
|
Never thinkin' I was good enough
|
If it wasn't for yo' brotha
|
Always checkin' every move I gave up
|
If it wasn't for that bitch
|
Down the block always in yo' ear
|
Be no room for messin' up
|
But baby love, you'd be right here
|
|
Tell me why must I, since they bought us things
|
Suffer indefinitely for loving you
|
Sugar why must I prove to anybody but you
|
Feel I been chosen to loose
|
I paid my dues, oh
|
|
[Repeat 1]
|
|
I'd been lying too, if I said to you
|
That they're pressuring me away from you
|
It's that she's run this
|
Got us fighting over dumbness
|
Got my heart on some numbness
|
That's your momma and I can't take it (no more)
|
I gets no joy but when I hurt
|
So when it hurts, it really hurts
|
|
[Repeat 1]
|
|
Gotta learn to keep your family out the game
|
When you're trying to do your thing
|
They got more that's due
|
Just cuz momma fed you right all your life
|
Don't mean she walk on a perfect line
|
Watch your step, or pay the price, sacrifice
|
|
Mothers sisters fathers brothers
|
cousin's aunts and uncles too
|
You know them be the main cause
|
Just because we know them
|
Doesn't mean that they ain't workin' you
|
Always it's something something something goin' on
|
|
[Repeat 1]
