Lyrics
HOPE
(You are the one who gave me this life and
I’ll never disappoint you when livin the life that I live, I hope
I never fail you)
Life, love, strength and respect
Honor thy mother, son, and protect that
Heart she gave and soul so alive
Mom’s the angel in every man’s life
She got power to heal and to help when
Knees get scraped, hearts get a break, then
She holds down the fort and defends
When dad ain’t around, there to protect his
Whether at work, play, or away
Mom remains on top of the game, say
What you will when mad at the man
Best believe she does what a mom can
Makin’ sure you’re safe and secure
Momma’s love is love guaranteed pure
There’s a trust between she and I
Momma got my back now to the day I die
(You are the one who gave me this life and
I’ll never disappoint you when livin the life that I live, I hope
I never fail you)
Too many fools gettin’ mad at mom when
She lays down the law to protect them
They get defiant and wannabe grown up
Mom represents the boss, better hold up
She don’t de-serve all of the stress from
You and the drama you bring on your own, son
Honor thy momma, wipe off your feet
Think of her first, she’s a priority
She’s gonna be the one by your side
Makin’ sure you bride is a bonafide
Woman who will take care of her kid
And the kids you have cuz that what your mom did
All that and more to assure you
Will survive when she ain’t around to
Pick you up when you catch a bad one
Mom’s the name of God to a good son
(You are the one who gave me this life and
I’ll never disappoint you when livin the life that I live, I hope
I never fail you)
Check it out, ma, I am who I am
Only because you raised up a good man
Raised a hand when I didn’t think
Calmed me down when I got fulla heat
You and dad made sure I survive
Mom, the warrior, loved, never told lies
I hope these words carry on
Open your ears on up for this one song
Honorin’ mom and all that she am
Why does she get one day when a son can
Add the times when she carried me
Countless days when mom never left me
Feelin’ lost or all outta time
Angels here are moms who protect, I
Think of mine everyday like a man should
Love to you, momma, hope I do good
(You are the one who gave me this life and
I’ll never disappoint you when livin the life that I live, I hope
I never fail you)
