I love you, momIt’s DannyDear mom, dear momI hope you know that this is your songYeahDear mom, everything you did was worth itAll the sacrifices taken when the picture wasn’t perfectI could see it in your face when I was young and all your burdensAre reminders to keep pushing when I’m working on this circuitI remember in the Canada coldDelivering papers out the trunk when I was sick, going door to doorYou used to say God got me, I was meant for moreAnd that we was broke cause he was fixing what we had in storeI remember that momma used to beat my assThen I would be mad and crying while she worked a back to backThen she’d wake me up and tell me that I’d better get to classAnd then I graduated and she stood up and I saw her clapMom, we used argue now I know you were rightIma tell my kids the same to be in before street lightsNot to steal, do right, live, laugh, play, fightAnd everynight pray to God on both knees with closed eyesEverybody’s got a mom, everyone relates to thisThere’s no way we can repay them for the things they all didThis a message to the queens around the world who go to warAnd sacrifice to make a better life for all of their kidsTuesday night you would drive me to practiceChurch on Sunday, midnight massesPushed me hard, I couldn’t be stagnantKept me calm despite the madnessYou cooked and kept me fedThen knelt and prayed beside my bedYou’d whisper in my earAnd I still hear those words inside my headMom knows bestCan’t talk back, can’t disrespectCan’t forgetYou held me in your stomach despite all the pain, all the stressCan’t neglect
Laid the bricks to my successAnd dedicated all your time to make sure that I did my bestMom, I hope you know this is your songI hope memorize and always sing alongI hope you know I know you did your bestAnd every single step you ever took was to assure I never did no wrongCan’t nobody break this bondIt’s infinite and then beyondAnd when they ask my reason I just say your name as my responseMy love for you could stretch acrossA 100 seas and light a galaxyI’m trying to say that can’t nobody ever turn it offMom, thank you is not enoughYou’re the reason that I’m here and why I can’t give upAnd every single time I fallAnd every time I’m stuckYou call me knowing something’s wrong innately and you pick me upAnd even when we miles away I promise we’re not out of touchCause nothing can connect the world the way a loving mother doesFor all those double shifts, I saw you work, I never saw you fussAnd that’s why when I’m tired I keep going cause I know mustWork to ensure you get the life you deserveDear mom, you’re an angelSo again I’m saying, thank you for the memoriesAnd time I feels like heaven on earthAnd while I know I can’t repay you, I’m just tryna say I’m gratefulFor your sacrifice and love and always putting me firstMom, I hope that you take these wordsAnd never ever have think about or question your worthFor all your pain and your hurtFor all your struggle and workMom, for giving me birthI want to sayDear mom, this a letter from your sonThose 3 jobs you were working, yeah, they probably wasn’t funAll the weight that you were carrying, it probably weighed a tonSo I made this song today to finally tell you that you doneI love you, momDear mom, dear momI hope you know that this is your song
