See the thing with growing up with a single mother I had to learn how to be a man by her and my older brother But if I didn't have that strong woman I don't know where I would be Honestly, She the one who pushed me to be me The me that I wanted to be Telling me I can do whatever I dreamed Yet still punishing me A woman like that is an astonishing thing Something you don't find often But I got her And I know she's a blessing Because everybody don't have A mother who cares And a mother whose there Even when I had nothing Not even for my stomach I had my mother And she had more love for me Than I could stomach More advice than I could bother to hear She could make any pain disappear But she also got a side That you never want to to hear But she's my mom So I always hold her near....
