lyrics

You took care of me when I couldn't care for myself

Gave encouragement

when my life was on the shelf

Gave me nourishment

A mother to her child

Unconditional

Love

Is what I'm talking bout

Mom I love you

from the bottom of my heart

Raised me to a man

now I'm reaching for the top

There's no words really to desribe the love we got

And everybody loves you as well

Mardell!!!!!


seq 2: You are the coolest mom
so funny and energetic
get along with everyone
and you had an only son
and that's me you passed down good genetics
the ability to love and not be caught up on the pathetic

seq: 6Class act and I'll never back track
Never backed down from tough cats with they puffed chest act
Respect that
Plus she always stands her ground
understand how to forigve nowadays that's profound

I was a little dude rising and you worked hard for us
always handled business didn't make life porous
Whether the plymouth van or that one Ford Taurus
we were always rolling somewhere
with no cares

that's called eternal life because time stands still
My mom Mardell
could help me climb every hill
and hurdle over any obstacle
and of course I did
and you gave the foundation
to pass to my kids
you're my heart mom!
I'll love you always and forever true indeed

You took care of me when I couldn't care for myself

Gave encouragement

when my life was on the shelf

Gave me nourishment

A mother to her child

Unconditional

Love

Is what I'm talking bout

Mom I love you

from the bottom of my heart

Raised me to a man

now I'm reaching for the top

There's no words really to desribe the love we got

And everybody loves you as well

Mardell!!!!!

I gotta say sorry for the times I got a smart mouth
thought I knew it all but didn't know what I was talking bout
You sacrificed a heap for me
Lost a lot of sleep for me
kept us off the streets surely you knew I wasn't walking out

Great early childhood
sports and going to work with ya
if I could think of a perfect mom
you'd be the perfect picture
had so much patience once i grew to a teenager
caught up in the social scene
act now and think later

probably caused some hurt hanging out too late at night
didn't emphathize your worry
but you'd still say goodnight
I love you
see ya in the morning
emotional rollercoast teenager with no warning

you're so patient and always kept it honest
opened our home to my best friends in the process
more than a few called our home home once or twice
and everyone should aspire to be like you in life

You took care of me when I couldn't care for myself

Gave encouragement

when my life was on the shelf

Gave me nourishment

A mother to her child

Unconditional

Love

Is what I'm talking bout

Mom I love you

from the bottom of my heart

Raised me to a man

now I'm reaching for the top

There's no words really to desribe the love we got

And everybody loves you as well

Mardell!!!!!



This isn't even a song it's more of a confession
You've been my best friend since the day of my conception
9 months in the womb established the connection
and we're here for eternity
this love equals purity

down to scratch my savings if we need a new roof
Laid the torch down and melted soles on my boots
Let me make a booth in the garage
plus put up a wall
a full studio
wouldn't happen without Moms

put up with our racket even rapping on a work night
always come and swoop if I was stranded at a work site
always have my back and I always got your back too
Anytime I had a problem all I had to do was ask you

we talk about anything, the vibe flowed flawless
that's why it tore me up
moving out that one August
finally left the nest now I'm 50 miles away
we don't spend the time we used to
I yearn for those days

But now I'm grown on my own two kids and a wife
Gotta handle biz like you did once upon a time
hard work and sacrifice you taught me so calm
no matter how far I live
I got your back mom!!!!

You took care of me when I couldn't care for myself

Gave encouragement

when my life was on the shelf

Gave me nourishment

A mother to her child

Unconditional

Love

Is what I'm talking bout

Mom I love you

from the bottom of my heart

Raised me to a man

now I'm reaching for the top

There's no words really to desribe the love we got

And everybody loves you as well

Mardell!!!!!
