if... (my mommy)

if this world were mine

i would place at your feet

all that i own

you've been so good to me

i wrote about stickin' the mami's

wrote about lickin' the tommy

it's time for me to write some shit for my mommy

my mother

and not only to tell her i love her

but to show her how the pen can cause her kid to grow up

i don't even be lying no more

mah

i'm honest

i'm not playing with guns no more neither

i promise

i'm not hanging with the donnas

he my dog and i love him but fuckin' with son is just too much drama

i wonder how it woulda be if you had the chance to raise me

would i still not know how to romance a lady?

is it cause you made me a cancer baby

that i stay on some crab shit so nobody get the chance to portray me

whatever it is yo i ain't tryin' to let it go

i'm focused mah

i know what i'm headed for

oh

before i let you go

you might not knew it before so i'm telling you now to let you know

i remember the everyday arguments

part of it was fuckin' with my common sense

the other part of it gave me the confidence

to do what i was doing

only if i knew what i was doing

when

what

and who was i pursuing

being twelve years old guzzlin' gold

coming home drunk; you crying while i stumble and fold

remember you had your son like a bum in the cold

cuz you was movin' my kicks and found jums in the sole?

but man i was a young man just runnin' the road

trying to make a little crumbs cuz wasn't none in my bowl

i hated to see you struggle for gold

when you really deserved ice double the cold

that glow like your colorful soul

mom

my love for you has wanted to grow

last ten times stronger than any couple that's old

oh

before i let you go

you might not knew it before so i'm telling you now to let you know

yo i said they could never give enough cheddar to me

to talk about the lady that made me negatively

even though eye to eye something we never could see

my mother's the one woman no other one ever could be

see she gon' be proud when i blow like nagasaki

don't ever regret lettin' them cell blocks adopt me

jail was a blessin' mommy; my nation stood by me

they got me in places regular faces can't find me

as omega my crimey

told me i'm so ahead of my time

even when they fast forward niggaz rewind me

i learned about malcom

marcus

and kwame

about the white man why he feed us spiced ham

spam

and salami

lyrically they can't deny me

all i need is your love

your trust and just for you to stand by me

oh

yo before i let you go

you might not knew it before so i'm telling you now to let you know
