Saigon - If... (My Mommy) Lyrics
[Chorus]If this world were mineI would place at your feetAll that I ownYou've been so good to me[Verse 1]I wrote about stickin' the mami'sWrote about lickin' the tommyIt's time for me to write some shit for my mommyMy mother, and not only to tell her I love herBut to show her how the pen can cause her kid to grow upI don't even be lying no more, mah, I'm honestI'm not playing with guns no more neither, I promiseI'm not hanging with the donnasHe my dog and I love him but *****in' with son is just too much dramaI wonder how it woulda be if you had the chance to raise meWould I still not know how to romance a lady?Is it cause you made me a cancer babyThat I stay on some crab shit so nobody get the chance to portray meWhatever it is yo I ain't tryin' to let it goI'm focused mah, I know what I'm headed forOh, before I let you goYou might not knew it before so I'm telling you now to let you know[Chorus][Verse 2]I remember the everyday argumentsPart of it was *****in' with my common senseThe other part of it gave me the confidenceTo do what I was doingOnly if I knew what I was doingWhen, what, and who was I pursuingBeing twelve years old guzzlin' goldComing home drunk; you crying while I stumble and foldRemember you had your son like a bum in the coldCuz you was movin' my kicks and found jums in the sole?But man I was a young man just runnin' the roadTrying to make a little crumbs cuz wasn't none in my bowlI hated to see you struggle for goldWhen you really deserved ice double the coldThat glow like your colorful soulMom, my love for you has wanted to growLast ten times stronger than any couple that's oldOh, before I let you goYou might not knew it before so I'm telling you now to let you know[Chorus x2][Verse 3]Yo I said they could never give enough cheddar to meTo talk about the lady that made me negativelyEven though eye to eye something we never could seeMy mother's the one woman no other one ever could beSee she gon' be proud when I blow like NagasakiDon't ever regret lettin' them cell blocks adopt meJail was a blessin' mommy; my nation stood by meThey got me in places regular faces can't find meAs Omega my crimey, told me I'm so ahead of my timeEven when they fast forward niggaz rewind meI learned about Malcom, Marcus, and KwameAbout the white man why he feed us spiced hamSpam, and salamiLyrically they can't deny meAll I need is your love, your trust and just for you to stand by meOh, yo before I let you goYou might not knew it before so I'm telling you now to let you know
