D-Mac - Whole World Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Friends come and go we've all seen that before
But it's one person always there we all know
Some of us ain't grow up with our daddies in our life
So mama played the father role twice right
So I wrote this record for my legal guardian
Cause my world is exactly who my mama is
Taught me common sense, kept me in check
Taught me manners taught me standards taught me respect
Your Jr. year of college, could've aborted me
But you dropped out had me and supported me
I owe you for that I'm rooting you get your degree
I'm on my grind so every gift you get's given from me
You as real as can be, we had our ups and downs
Less ups then downs, but no more struggling now
I'm hustling now to get us outta this predicament
I told you that I got us so believe in me and witness it
We came along way and got a long way to go
And I'm appreciative of you I gotta let it show
I put this on everything
My mama my whole world she my everything

[Chorus:]
This to my ol girl, you my whole world
This to my ol girl, you my whole world I mean that from the bottom of my heart
And if you love your mama put your hands in the air
I said if you love your mama put your hands in the air
And mean that from the bottom of your heart

[Verse 2:]
You watched all my friends growing up pass away and get locked up
Lucky for me I ain't pass away or get locked up
You isolated me, when you knew you should've
And I can't help but think about the coulda's or woulda's
And I'm grateful for it I don't tell you all the time
Sometimes I act like I don't need you that's just foolish pride
You turned a boy into a man I'm trying to make you proud
Make you smile I know you know I really hate your frown
Hate to see you sad, love to see you glad
So when I can I bring a fridge full of grocery bags
Love to make you laugh, we've shared some good ones don't we
We do and hopefully we gon' get to see a lot more won't we
Man I love you mama, I'm blessed to have your looks
Trying to imagine life without you always has me shook
I put this on everything
Mama you my whole world you my everything

[Chorus:]
This to my ol girl, you my whole world
This to my ol girl, you my whole world I mean that from the bottom of my heart
And if you love your mama put your hands in the air
I said if you love your mama put your hands in the air
And mean that from the bottom of your heart

[Verse 3:]
And I know, you trying to bring out the best in me
Cause I know, you only want what's best for me
You tell me never let them haters get the best of me
And I don't, cause I know what's meant for me
And I hope, you know you raised your first son to be wise
Books and street smart a lot of people surprised
Tell folks I'm doing me, you ain't gotta disguise
That I rap, as long as a judge ain't give me no time
Considering where I'm from and where I hung I'm alive
That says a lot and that's a damn good job in my eyes
And you deserve much more than a pat on the back
Unless it's at a spa, go head kick back and relax
Say goodbye to jobs mama say hello to the mall
No more trying to catch a sale swipe away get it all, yea
I put that on everything
My mama my whole world she my everything, yeah

[Chorus:]
This to my ol girl, you my whole world
This to my ol girl, you my whole world I mean that from the bottom of my heart
And if you love your mama put your hands in the air
I said if you love your mama put your hands in the air
And mean that from the bottom of your heart
