mama (stripped down version)
empire cast
so many words to describe you
strong would be an understatement
warrior would suit you so much better
'cause you've been fighting
daddy left her out in the cold streets
he found all her sins underneath her mattress
then suddenly her daddy up and died
but still she sees her father there in lucious eyes
for everything you've been through
there's nothing that i won't do for you
see you deserve the best of what this world can offer to you
in love with the thought of becoming queen
she gave it all so unselfishly
and she did it all just for loyalty
i never knew someone to sacrifice
even gave up their whole lives
for everything you've been through
nothing that i won't do for you
see you deserve the best of what this world can offer
you're the reason for my being here
i'm gon' be the one to guide your heart
although luscious raised us
you still made us from the sun
for everything you've been through
there's nothing that i wouldn't do for you
see you deserve the best of what this world can offer to you
