Guess Who?

[Verse 1: Khujo]

You 'bout to make me slam yo' back clean out

But I luv her till death do us part

Though she divorced my pop the hard way

Back in nineteen "yassey" for the past sixteen years

I took on the responsibility of daddy...

My ol' burd... puttin a real buzz in my ear, makin sho' it marinate

And not go out the other ear

Guess who? stood beside me when y'all wouldn't force fed when I

Couldn't lift a spoon to my skull

God is good, God is kind mimmicin' her taught me how to say mine ...

Grace improvised wit bakin' soda when it wasn't no toothpaste

Now what that went with?? my ol' burd cried tears of joy

When she heard I wasn't gon' serve time for possession

Of the "sawed off" runnin' out of spurs

When I came home blowed and couldn't find the key hole, guess who

Unlocked the doors, my Ol' burd puttin' my hairs out

I better eat before you bug me to death

Shut-up you old ungrateful ass nigga, she trying to help yo' ass...

I wasn't ready to eat yet but I enjoyed the dinner she said, "I'm glad"

Slid down my esophagus wit ease, even though she have this skin disease

That won't allow me to gain weight do my own eyes deceive me

Guess who tuck me in before I started drivin this Benz

Again & again, told me not to and when I did...

Guess who beat the dog shit outta me kid

My Moma didn't play, shiiit, I had to pick the switches...

You guess who!!!

[Verse 2: CeeLo Green]

My Moma, destination unknown, went out on her own

She was barely even grown and became my Moma

I never knew my dad, so even when the times got bad

I was glad cause I had my Moma

For so long she had to be strong

I know at certain times she was wrong

But she still my Moma, it still amazes me

The Lord had to help her raise me judging from the way I used to be

My Moma, the biggest player that I know I love her so

Hell everything I got I owe to my Moma

Thank you for caring, thank you for sharing yo' luv

I guess that was yo' way of preparing

Yo' son to be the one and not the two

To make you and my daddy's dream come true

But what a surprise a car wreck left you paralyzed

The sheet was pulled over yo' eyes when the doctor advised

The family that you might not ever talk again

But you talkin' so I know that you gon' walk again

But take yo time, guess who's the inspiration for the rhyme... My Moma

[Verse 3: Big Gipp]

Who was tha first to hold you in some arms

Tha first to change your diaper when your stomach wasn't calm

Your Moma, wit that drama brought you into this world

From a world of down under

I wonder how she knew when I was lying, when I was telling the truth

With the proof she would explain how I've been skipping school

With the boys putting welts on my back with the same belt

Around my waist that held my pants up

Talkin' back only got you closer to Southern Bell

Got your forehead swell

I swear she knew when it was real or when it was fake like Clampetts

With dreads and if I couldn't handle a situation then I fled

Behind closed doors I froze, in Garnett holes I rose

Who that hell got my bond

Standing in front of that two-inch glass

A woman ready to hand the cash over for her son...

My Mama!!

[Verse 4: T-Mo]

Sometimes we get it on, I know at times I'm wrong

Lookin' into my eyes just to let me know she tried is enough for me

I'm callin' a truce it seems we more like brother and sister

Even though she pay the bills wit the mister

Brought me home in '72 and gave me all she had

Cause I was left at birth she knew it could work

Since she gave me the first chance my song and dance

Pearl, my world, what would I do without her spark

Probably be on the street wit nothin' to eat but I got a happy home

Ever since my first day it's heaven sent now I know

What it's meant when I say

I appreciate what you've done and what you do your only son...

Guess who???

[Outro: CeeLo Green]

The only one that cares for real and really understands how I feel

Help me over come my fears and never left me through the years

So I dedicate this song to you, for all that you brought me through

I know there will never be another that will love me like my Mother
