When Will I See You

[Intro: Lil Meca]
Ooh mama yeah
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1: Bukshot]
Thinking back as a kid, remember that drama (aw yeah)
Not my buddy and me it was me and my mama that's right
My mama was my very best friend
Standing next to me thick and thin to the end
Always had a smile when she woke me up for school
Never heard a fuss all them times I missed the bus
Never got mad when my grades was bad
Signed my report cards and didn't even show dad
If I got in trouble and daddy would make me cry I'd always look at my mama see a tear in her eye
Why? Probably cause she saw my tears dripping
And knew the pain I felt when I got a butt-whipping
And a trip to Toys R Us would always make me smile
Trying to make me happy she'd go the extra mile
I know she loves me, I love her too
But please tell me mama, when will I see you?

[Chorus: Lil Meca]
Mama, yeah, yeah
When will I see you?, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh mama yeah, yeah, yeah
When will I see you?
Woo-oh yeah

[Verse 2: Bukshot]
As I grew up times was pretty rough
I thought my hard knocks as a kid was enough
Until one night I was guilty of a crime
And I got locked up for the very first time
Spent the night out in the county jail
The very next day mama came and paid bail
She was looking at my face, straight mean-mugging
A teardrop fell, and then we started hugging
I told her I was sorry, I know I done bad
The worst was to come cause I had to face dad
On the way home something happened strange
Mama held her stomach and said she had a pain
Didn't think nothing of it, it never crossed my mind
Mom'll be alright cause she's one of a kind
Gave me a wink and a smile that's true
Please tell me mama, when will I see?

[Chorus: Lil Meca]
Mama, yeah, yeah, yeah
When will I see you?, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh mama yeah, yeah, yeah
When will I see you?
Woo-oh

[Verse 3: Bukshot]
One rainy morning mama woke up sick
I put her in my car, took her to the doctor quick
Sitting on a couch, waiting for an answer
That's when I found out mama's got cancer
I couldn't say a word (aw man)
How could I react to what I just heard?
I was looking at my mom, water in her eye
My tears let loose, please mama don't die
The next thing I know, I'm sitting by her bed
Crying like a baby with my arms around her head
She whispered in my ear "it wouldn't be long"
The last thing she told me was "Tim be strong"
With one last smile mama gave a wink as she closed both her eyes it made myself think
As the angels took her up in the sky so full of it
A question and finally answered, I know when I'll see you

[Chorus: Lil Meca]
Mama, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll see you in heaven
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh mama, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll see you in heaven

[Bridge: Lil Meca]
There be no more pain
No more fears
I know that the Lord is gonna wipe away my tears
You told me not to worry, I'd be alright
After the rain I'm gonna see the light

[Chorus: Lil Meca]
Mama, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll see you in heaven
Yeah, yeah
Oh mama, yeah, yeah
I'll see you in heaven
Yeah yeah yeah

[Outro: Lil Meca]
The next thing I know, I'm sitting by your bed
Crying like a baby with my arms around your head
You whispered in my ear "it won't be long"
The last thing you told me "child be strong"
Mama yeah, oh
