Текст Joell Ortiz – Momma

Momma’s eyes seen some things that made her proud now
Fans cheer her baby name, they say it loud now
Her baby boy on tv she be bugging when she see me
She be crying when she call me, when I’m touring she can’t see me

Momma miss me, makes her sad, but she be happy when I’m leaving
Always tells me go with God, I keep Jesus right here wit me
Momma’s eyes used to tear up for a different set of reasons
We won’t talk about those nights, let’s just focus on these evenings

We be watching flicks together on her OLED tv
Order food from anywhere, or she chef up some baked ziti
That’s my grandma recipe, we both miss her yes indeed
We agreed, momma gon’ live it up while granny Rest In Peace

Momma Momma I’m emotional cause God keep blessing me…
I stopped by, you wasn’t there, Pat said you had therapy…
I forgot you and chat with Ms Gonzalez every Tuesday
Helps you cope with all your losses and remind you it’s a new day

Anyway, on ya dresser left a quarter of that pure’
That you like from up in Dyckman… Since the last one wasn’t true Hayes…
I’m ’bout to step in this meeting with MTV
Call me when you back at the crib on the fridge I left a G.

Took a while to reach this type of peace we own
But we’re here… Moving forward, loving strong
All that’s worth having is worth struggling for…
We didn’t have it all but we’re here to win

Momma I’m so proud of you in case you didn’t know
Not the verbal type of son and plus I’m always on the go
But see I do talk to these beats and so I figured I would show…
How much I love you through this flow… Perform this at my show

Have every light up in the air until the venue starts to glow
Almost as much as ya smile does when I walk through ya do’

Please don’t hit me for just screaming out ya age in to the public
But you still look 40 something you should love it…
I remember I would wake you up with raps while you was sleeping
Loose leaf paper in my hand, half awoke you’d say keep reading

Momma I just got the chills, we ain’t worried ’bout the bills
All the cereals is real, we ain’t munching on no frills
I ain’t doing drug deals you ain’t using drugs still
No more mice across the floors, you like how them rugs feel?

Momma momma look at us member things was looking rough?
Daddy looked the other way, they looked at us with such disgust
But now things is looking up
So here’s a song for the only face I saw when I was looking off that bus

Took a while to reach this type of peace we own
But we’re here… Moving forward, loving strong
All that’s worth having is worth struggling for…
We didn’t have it all but we’re here to win
