To My Mama - Amerie

Yeah, this song right here is dedicated to that one special woman in my life, right

(Thank you for loving me) My Mother

(And thank you for holding me down) Theresa

(I know that you care for me) Rene

('cause you've always been around) Sing it

Ma (Thank you for loving me) This song right here is for you

(I wanna thank you for holding me down) All the love you showed me

(I know that you care for me) I'ma give it right back to you

Let's go

[Chorus]

All of the things you do (yeah)

I can never repay you (uh huh)

I can't imagine life without you

My mama, my road dog

All of the things you do (yeah

I can never repay you (ah uh)

I can't imagine life without you

My mama, my road dog

[Verse 1:]

Anything you need from me, Ma, you know that it's yours

You're the only woman in my life that I adore

I remember back in the days when we couldn't get much

TV's wasn't covered and the floor was tore up

How you juggle three jobs just to take care of me

Yo baby boy, Bow Weezy

Late night shifts, daytime to the AM

Comin' home late, there was my best friend

My soulmate, yes, my big brother

The one who tucked me in, put me under the covers

When I had nightmares, you came right away

Read me bedtime stories and chased them away

My beautiful black queen, my everything

The one that keeps this heart pumpin' everyday

I'm a young man now

But my plan is to show you that I really understand

Mom, I love you

[Chorus 2x:]

All of the things you do

I can never repay you

I can't imagine life without you

My mama, my road dog

[Verse 2:]

Look at you now

You sittin' up on top of the world

Got a X5 and a Benz just to swerve

Gotcha dream house now

Sittin' on big land, big money, big jewels, big game plan

You told me one day I'ma make it this far

Have God in my life and I'm gon' be the star

I did it, well, look where we at

Don't have to worry 'bout past due bills and all that

Don't have to worry 'bout them bill collectors all on yo back

Don't worry

If you ain't got it, I gotcho back

Don't even worry 'bout you workin 3 jobs real late

Don't even have to worry when you have no food to put on the plate

Back then, I didn't understand but I do now

I look back and I reminisce on how it all went down

Went from bad to good, from frowns to smiles

Mom, I really love you, understand now

I love you

[Chorus 2x]

[Hook:]

Thank you for loving me

Say what now

Thank you for holding me down

Say what now

I know that you care for me

Sing that

'cause you've always been around

Kick it back and

Thank you for loving me

Say what now

Thank you for holding me down

Say what now

I know that you care for me

Say what

'cause you've always been around

Drop the beat back
