(crack music)
my mama loved me
[verse 1: joell ortiz]
i used to hold my mother’s hand walkin’ out the lobby in the winter
bundled up like we stuck in a blizzard
we’d make that left by the community center
that’s where i’d see the faces i would always remember
same faces used to scare me as i lay in my bed
i used to pray i’d wake up and they would all be dead
i’d wish we’d walk right past ’em, but instead
my moms looked at them and they would nod they head
and she’d tell me to walk ahead
it was only a few seconds apart
but it felt like the last time we would go to the park
last time she waved goodbye as my bus departs
i acted like i ain’t see nothin’
smiled when she came back, me frontin’, lil’ heart mean thumpin’
back in the elevator, press the three b-tton
that was our thing, she always let me press
now we back in the crib, she in her room with her door closed
think she hidin’ it from me, but we all know
i’d put the tv on and watch somethin’ funny
soon as she done, she’d come hug me, my mama love me
[chorus: jeremy torres]
no more worries, mama
you raised me to be a soldier
so dry those tears from your eyes
somehow, some way, we will survive
i get by on just your smile
it’s crazy
’cause through h-ll, you raised me
through the flames, you always loved me
[verse 2: joell ortiz]
uh, i used to move a couple grams right outside my lobby in the summer
tank top, it was hot as a mother
i served sons and daughters, fathers and mothers
and anybody else who might’ve wanted work from us
you see, the dope was ten a bag, i did eighty for the bundle
crack was five a capsule, took four in a struggle
just make sure them dollars is crispy, not a crumble
you try to give me change, i’m takin’ all that from you
now you walkin’ off with nothin’
i wasn’t always like this, y’all, i wasn’t
so hear me out before y’all pass judgement
tried to be a rapper, but i couldn’t get a deal
they told me that i’m too heavy, i ain’t have that s-x appeal
my manager, he got five in the feds in otisville
and i just had a baby, sh-t is real in the field
i got bills and another mouth to feed
i bought krills and put another ounce of d on the scale
before i knew it, i was him
the face i used to hate, that community-center grin
knowin’ it was wrong, i sold again and again
became numb, washin’ it down with a cup of gin
that boy strugglin’
knowin’ that life of sin really wasn’t him
sh-t troublin’, thinkin’ what could’ve been
if moms never grabbed me by the chin
looked me in my eyes and said, “get back to your pen”
mama love me
[chorus: jeremy torres]
no more worries, mama (no, no, no)
you raised me to be a soldier (soldier)
so dry those tears from your eyes (yeah)
somehow, some way, we will survive (we will survive)
i get by on just your smile (oh)
it’s crazy
’cause through h-ll, you raised me (yeah)
through the flames, you always loved me
[bridge: jeremy torres]
my mama loved me
my mama loved me
[verse 3: joell ortiz]
we made it through the fire
fall down, god picks you up and lifts you higher
the devil is a liar
mama clean, no more drugs in her system
no more projects and public assistance
her spirit ’bout as rich as it gets
bible open, she quotin’ from a living-room set
with the only smile
i catch myself standing there as her only child
looking around like, “holy cow”
ma, if you never heard this before
what i give is not enough, you deserve this and more
my number-one supporter, number-one fan
i’m forever your lil’ man that was holding your hand
mama love me
[chorus: jeremy torres]
no more worries, mama (no, no, no)
you raised me to be a soldier (soldier)
so dry those tears from your eyes (yeah)
somehow, some way, we will survive (we will survive)
i get by on just your smile (oh)
it’s crazy
’cause through h-ll, you raised me (yeah)
through the flames, you always loved me
