[Intro]
Knew that she was there
(Yow, Sam)
[Verse 1]
Now my mum, she played both roles, she made me who I am
And if I could, I wouldn't change it cah it turnt me to a man
She wouldn't miss a game
And any time I played, I knew that she was there
No matter what the weather was, she wouldn't care
I'm sorry for the times I had you upset
Knew you never thought I'd be this way when me and Mali had the bunk beds
I'm sorry for the dumb stress
And every tear you've shedded, it's embedded in my head
It really broke me when you told me you don't wanna see me dead
And every wrong I make, I know that you're the one to understand
Before I used to leave your hugs, they were as tight as rubber bands
I know you're proud of who I am, my loyalty, you told me that
You told me, "Watch out for your friends" and all the ones that hold me back
You don't support it, but you hear it
Why? I love you, mother, dearest
Taught me morals and the rest to have a clean heart and respect
Remember times you wouldn't rest and I would come in late from steppin'
But you always had a clue, even searched me for a weapon
Mum, I'm sorry, I can't say it enough
For all the times they had your boy up in cuffs
And you weren't changin' the love
And I can't say it enough
I'll do anythin' to make you smile
You'll ask me for a little, but you know I'll go the extra mile
[Chorus]
Now when it comes to you, there ain't a thing I wouldn't do, there ain't a thing that I would change
Mum, you're perfect how it is
And I'm sorry for them nights when I was out there shootin' pipes
And not once did you deny, you always said, "That's my kid"
Never once did your love done
I'II say it proud, I'm my mum's son
She never likes when I give lump sums
When it gets hard, blud, I can't run
And all the effort, know it can't done
What can I say? Cah I'm my mum's son
[Verse 2]
I know you'll never change up cah you taught me that
And even when you wouldn't have it, found a way and brought me that
I'm sorry for the times when I would say I'm at a friend's
When I was really with a phone and I was trappin' out the ends
And you would phone bro like, "Where's T? I can't sleep"
"I'm sorry, aunty, but I don't know, he ain't with me
He ain't answerin' me neither, but I'm sure that he's all good"
Bro's lyin' for me, he was with me there up out the hood
All the stress and all the pain and yet you still love me the same, this shit's fucked up
So many times I broke my mum's trust
Gun tucked, still give her a hug before I hop out
Taught me put my all in, why'd you think I ain't a cop-out?
I remember when I first got nicked, and every time after that
To stop me seein' the tears, you put your head in your hands
And nothin' beats it cah it's pure, you know it's mum's love
And you know that it's different when you're mad and get your mum's hugs
[Chorus]
Now when it comes to you, there ain't a thing I wouldn't do, there ain't a thing that I would change
Mum, you're perfect how it is
And I'm sorry for them nights when I was out there shootin' pipes
And not once did you deny, you always said, "That's my kid"
Never once did your love done
I'II say it proud, I'm my mum's son
She never likes when I give lump sums
When it gets hard, blud, I can't run
And all the effort, know it can't done
What can I say? Cah I'm my mum's son
