Rob Ray - A Song for Mama (feat. Shannon Rivera) Lyrics

This ones for you, this ones for you
Yea
Yeahhhhh
Yea
Wanna give you your flowers while you could smell em
Wanna say all my thank you's while I could tell em
It's been times we couldn't see eye to eye mama
But through it all you was always by my side mama
Stood with me when I couldn't stand by myself
Prayed for me when I thought there was nothing left
All the sacrifices made never went unnoticed
And whenever I'm off track you help to keep focused
See I got my name from women
Got the game from women
Even showed me how to appreciate a woman yea
Was always my light through them dark times
You even talked me thorough all my hard times
Looking back don't know how you did it
Worked two jobs just to keep the lights on at the crib
Ran my pen through my scares just to write this verses
It was so many times I thought that we was cursed
Damn
But you showed me different
Showed me though every lost there's always a lesson
Showed me anything I ever dreamed I can make come true
Showed me there's no purest of love than the one coming from you
Yea
Your essence is a real gift to the world
Just know you're appreciated for that
And no matter what you always put me first
And I'm forever thankful for that
This ones for you mama, this ones for you
This ones for you mama, this ones for you
This ones for you mama, this ones for you
This ones for you mama, this ones for you
Was painful watching my dad beat you
Felt the love running down your face
Probably the reason me and him could never get it straight
That night I learned the definition of strong woman
And can't no one ever take from you
I love you
At 13 you found my stash
Just about a whole zip and a gun stuff in the bag
Damn
I couldn't hear the end of it
Kinda hard knowing your son was far from perfect
I know I let you down when I got jammed
I know things ain't go as planned
I know it was hard to raise a black man in the like you did
But I'm here to let you know that you you did it
Your essence is a real gift to my world
And I appreciate you for that
And no matter what I'll always put you first
And You won't have to thank me for that mama
This ones for you mama, this ones for you
This ones for you mama, this ones for you
This ones for you mama, this ones for you
This ones for you mama, this ones for you
