"Oooh..."
|
I just hear mom praying, I just hear gran sayin...
|
"Somebody oughta just, reach out and, help me..."
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
Eight decades and four years and gran still kickin
|
Look at ma, still whippin
|
Still keep a strap, won't hesitate to give the kids whippins
|
Tryin to make it to heaven, still livin
|
Make a visit, stop by the weed spot grab a dub
|
I know grams gon' have me a grub
|
I hit the front door, smell aroma of her food cookin
|
My favorite, a pot of rice and her stewed chicken
|
Hit the basement, holla at Uncle Doc
|
Nephew, wit Snu kickin
|
Where dudes, what's your new mission
|
We bust it up he cold frontin
|
I know this nigga wanna hold somethin
|
I know grams upstairs preppin for church
|
Matchin up her hat, shoes, pocketbooks and skirts
|
I break her off some dubs, so she can go see the preacher man
|
Even though I know he false teachin, damn
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
"Ooooh..."
|
All I hear is grams prayin, I keep hearin moms sayin, shit
|
"Somebody oughta just, reach out and, help me..."
|
That's all I hear is moms prayin, I keep hearin grams sayin...
|
"Somebody oughta just reach out and, help me..."

|
Don't cry mama, your baby boy done weathered the storm
|
And I found peace right here in your arms
|
By the way, how you gettin along, huh?
|
I know it's been tough bearing the pain since daddy's been gone
|
But, all in all, you still stood tall and never shedded a tear
|
I'm thankin God you still here
|
Cause, only heaven knows all my heartaches and setbacks
|
Goin from a high school dropout to shovelin wet wax
|
I'm never gon' forget that, look in your eyes, (look in your eyes)
|
When you told me that my grandfather died
|
It was like nothing had happened, (naw) and I'm knowin that you miss him
|
But to accept death, is just the side of a good Christian
|
And I miss him, just words, and I lived it in life (lived it in life)
|
and I take it step by step, but I take it in Christ (take it in Christ)
|
Cuz I'm knowin I can't make it alone (uh, uh)
|
You told me not to buy you a new house because in heaven's your home
|
and as hurt as I was, I had to smile witcha
|
and thank God that we crossed paths cuz you one strong sister
|
and I'm never gon' forget ya
|
Heaven sent us an angel and the world gon' miss ya... mama
|
|
[CHORUS]

|
[Verse 3]
|
I'm in love with two women
|
The one that birth me
|
and the one that birth her
|
Know that you gotta hurt me
|
Before you hurt her or hurt her
|
Or hurt them or hurt we
|
I cursed see the worsest death
|
Beat you niggas to a thirsest breath
|
Off wit ya head niggas, fuck that all purpose vest
|
I'm ridin all out for Umi
|
Christian Caffer, though I follow the path of the sumi
|
What can I do but bow down and give offerings
|
For the lady with the softest skin
|
Keep picturin grams tuckin me in
|
Breakin me out of her change purse
|
Slash teacher, slash preacher, slash changed nurse
|
One woman, ten boys, seven daughters
|
Three story house wit no supporter
|
Damn, you wanna get your life in order
|
Words from the oldest boy of your youngest daughter
|
|
[CHORUS]
