Mama Was a Legend

I'm here to tell you son your mama was a legend

She gave her life for yours so you could learn a lesson

She fought hard and mama said you were a blessing

I never questioned it she said that you were destined

Poppa sat me down said son it's time

I know there's gotta be a lot of questions on your mind

I'm your father and your mama knew one day you'd ask

So I'm here to tell you about it anyway I can

But what would she like was she beautiful and nice

Was she funny did she love me or what color were eyes

I've been thinking for a while I used to ask you as a child

Every time you turn me down why we talking bout it now

Your mama had the beauty make the whole room notice

The first time I met her it was hard for me to focus

She was genuinely kind to everybody she would meet

Buck her switch and be a trip anytime that she had to be

She was sweet like an orange eyes just like yours

Love making people laugh but love you way more

For years I shed tears I know you pray for an answer

You were a baby when she died from stage four cancer

I'm here to tell you son your mama was a legend

She gave her life for yours so you could learn a lesson

She fought hard and mama said you were a blessing

I never questioned it she said that you were destined

Mama tried to show me everything she knew

Told me never give up at anything you do

It was known that mama didn't raise no fool

And she would drop me every morning and I walk to school

And there were times when I didn't hear a word she said

And then she worked late but she always kept me fed

And if I step out of line that go upside my head

And I learned fast never would I do it again

But the lake gets grimy and the moms is always tripping

Getting on me every minute that I go missing

Just a kid too proud I didn't ever wanna listen

But I understand now she refuse to see me slipping

And I'm never gonna forget from where I came

When I was a little sprout she would drive me to the game

Never gonna be another quite like you the same

All my love from a mother maybe who I am today

I'm here to tell you son your mama was a legend

Son your mama was a legend

She gave her life for yours so you could learn a lesson

Learn a lesson

She fought hard and mama said you were a blessing

Were a blessing

I never questioned it she said that you were destined

Destined hmm
