Ayyo, I jus wrote this while listening to Kanye West's "Hey Mama" 2pac's "Dear Momma" and LL Cool J's "Big Mama" I hope you like it coz it came straight from the heart...

To My Momma Written By J-o-e.

When I was a kid, I never done what I was told

Some say I was a little shít, some say I was cold

But deep down, one women who granted me life

Through hours of labour, that was her sacrifice

It’s to my momma, the one who stuck straight thru

Made me happy whenever I felt down and blue

And even though at times I thought u didn’t understand

But u knew that my dad could only tell me how to be a man

I just want to say Ur appreciated for all that you’ve done

And take this as a thank u letter from Ur only son

I know I disappointed u at times, I didn’t have work

And I’m sorry that it hurt, I felt like I was a jerk

When pops was out of a job, when times were hard

But we lived thru that, even though we’re scared

I try and reminisce about the times u made me better

Whatever the weather u was always wit me forever

And even though I don’t show my love a lot

I just want to give u the piece of love that I have got

I hope that my memories of u will never fade away

And no matter what people do, it don’t care what they say

U taught me more than listen to other peoples hearts

Told me to keep it real, stay in school and stay smart

And even though I felt that I failed u, I’m sorry

But I’m fully grown now, there’s no need for u to worry…

This Is To My Momma

Stuck Wit Me Thru The Drama

This Is To My Family

Kept Me Away From Insanity

I know I seemed a bit crazy to u, so I dedicate this song

Kept my mind on my ambitions and had to right my wrongs

I know I wasn’t the best child, in late and being wild

Even when I done something bad, she cried and smiled

She knows I can’t be accounted for all my actions

U took me to places I would of never seen, saw so many attractions

I need u in my life, I’m Ur only son and with that in mind

I tried to keep it real and write a rhyme all in time

Even though u thought I was wasting time in doing this

U still prayed for me every night and gave me a kiss

And I’m thankful, there’s no words that can describe how I feel

U kept me from the streets because u knew they were real

U were there to wipe my tears, shared Ur views on my fears

And told me about this life full of pressure and years

And when my grandma died, u were the first to come to me

Anytime I was in any trouble, u would come and run to me

I know I felt I could of better, so with this love letter

I’m telling you now that no one else could do it better…

She’s the woman that raised me during this life of drama

So without further ado, This is to my momma…
