Single Mother

[Intro]
Yeah
This for you mama
You did a hell of a job by yourself
And I could never repay you
Thank you

[Chorus]
See I was made by a woman and raised by a woman
And every time I got jammed I was saved by a woman
I was brought up and taught the game by a woman
Everything I know I learned or it came from a woman
I got fed by a single mother, a single mother
Got supported by a single mother, a single mother
I got raised by a single mother, a single mother
Now I know the pain of a single mother, my single mother

[Verse 1]
I was raised by a single mother
Seen sacrifices made by my single mother
Wish I could've traded places with my single mother
Just to take the pain away from my single mother
And see the face of my single mother
Now I know what she went through
Wish I could go back and do things that I didn't do
Ain't have no clue about the pain when the rent was due
Put this on wax 'cause I got nobody to vent to
Thank god for blessing me with a woman with such strength
All them school clothes added up, it wasn't cheap
Still gave me money even though I had lunch free
All that shit you did and sacrificed was out of love for me
And I just want you to know
That I appreciate it and how much I owe
You the one, you my favorite girl

[Chorus]
See I was made by a woman and raised by a woman
And every time I got jammed I was saved by a woman
I was brought up and taught the game by a woman
Everything I know I learned or it came from a woman
I got fed by a single mother, a single mother
Got supported by a single mother, a single mother
I got raised by a single mother, a single mother
Now I know the pain of a single mother, my single mother

[Verse 2]
I done hurt my single mother, lied to my single mother
Got caught tryna hide shit from my single mother
Wish I could go back and spend time with my single mother
Chills running down my spine thinking 'bout my single mother
And all I wish that I could do is
Pay you back for all the times you kept it too real
Never left me out to dry like my pops did
Always came and got me when they locked me up for hot shit
And I just wanna say thank you
For every single time you held it down and you came through
I'm sorry for the times that your son disobeyed you
Can't think of one thing for your son that you ain't do
And I just want you to know
That ma you're my hero
Ain't no telling where I'd be
If it wasn't for she

[Chorus]
See I was made by a woman and raised by a woman
And every time I got jammed I was saved by a woman
Brought up and taught the game by a woman
Everything I know I learned or it came from a woman
I got fed by a single mother, a single mother
Got supported by a single mother, a single mother
I got raised by a single mother, a single mother
Now I know the pain of a single mother, my single mother
