Yeah

Came to talk to you for a minute

You know

I miss you

But I love you

Ain't nobody done for me what you done for me Ma

You know

So I'ma do this one here for you



Rest in peace

Your son



It woulda been the greatest thing in the world to see

All the possibilities you made em real for me

In '73 opened me to life itself

Guard my health and went for delf but needed no one else

Allah himself'll only know the reason you're gone

And forever I'ma feel a little pain and mourn

(Life goes on) Now I'm blessed, so I raise each morn

Still I ask every night you help me face the dawn

Pray alone inside a stone-cold confusion and weep

But only your touch can bring me to peace

I can keep a little something of you with me till I reach the end

Till then, let me ask you again, how you been?



[Chorus]

This is cause I'm thinkin of you

My love for you will always be true

You know I'll never forget you for life

Think of you forever



Sittin recallin how you caught me, how you broke my fall

Heard you scream off in terrors, heard my name you called

All of the lessons you taught me, how this life is war

How to hold till I be sure that I can go for more

Saw me enduring the pain and goin from poor to fame

But livin with more to gain is makin me more insane

It's a strain, I could tell you, you already know

Still I'ma live to tellin you so

And I'm sure you know the way that you was handlin was passed to me

Askin nobody for nothin, so don't ask for me

Look and see how you raised a little nigga to man

It was all just a part of the plan

Daze back as I gaze back lookin at the fact that you left

Funny how I keep hearin footsteps

I keep a little something of you with me till I reach the end

Till then, let me ask you again, how you been?



[Chorus]



If I could leave you off with somethin, it would have to be this

You know I'm gettin through these obstacles, you will be missed

Left a kiss on the forehead, hold through a touch

Now I leave that in the streets from rollin up in a dutch

Ask the Lord to bless the soul of a child if He may

I can only hope that we unite and see you one day

And playback after playback, it wasn't fair

But still and all I never say that, remember here

You got a place inside a nigga, where you end, I begin

Till then, let me tell you again, how you been?



[Chorus]



Do you know I'm thinking of you, Mama

Don't you know I think about you all the time



[Chorus]



I love you, Mommy
