I know it bothers you to hear of my accomplishments from the streets I know u much rather it coming from me But I promised myself, I'd only talk about my so called career When I tell u to pack ya bags, we moving up outta here Until then... I kinda feel like a failure I know you're proud, but I still feel like I failed ya Cuz I done seen plenty men bout plenty dogs Walked outta plenty offices slamming on plenty doors They want me to be something I'm not mama And my self respect is all that I got mama And I won't compromise it for no profit mama They tried selling those dreams, I never bought em mama And for that I gotta work twice as hard On top of that, I'm still working my day job Some time ago in one of them rhymes I wrote I told you that it wouldn't be long before I would blow It wasn't easy as I thought mama. Didn't think it be so hard mama Seemed so simple from afar mama But the closer I get, the pressure's more mama And you know since I was young All I wanted was to try and buy you everything you want All I wanted was to do for you what you had done for us Three kids, single parenting. I know the road was rough But you kept your shoulders up and you never folded up Even if you did, you made sure it was never shown to us And my sister always tell me how I seem so strong to her It's cuz I had the best example growing up. Thank you mama Saying that sounds weird to me For 30 sum years I've called you Ruby Never ever no disrespect to ya... guess I always knew you were a precious jewel And I'll forever treasure you Always feel like I'm in debt to you Giving up is sum I'll never do That's why I'll try til my death for you I love you mama From your oldest, your favorite Gary and Keisha, what up
