letra de one for mom - otitis
[verse 1]
my mother always said she wanted a son
and on september 12th, 1990 she got one
i was born at 1:20 pm, up in manhattan
ma said that was the greatest event that ever happened, but
to her dismay, her husband ain’t feel the same
he’d wanna be out the picture, she kept him inside the frame
ma was takin’ trains with a baby in her arms
loved me through her pain, she would take me from the harm
couple weeks in the world, young me got sick
doc said i was allergic to something that’s toxic
inside the apartment, mom’s beggin’ to move
dad’s not alarmed then, yellin’ “too much to lose”
mom took her baby boy, packed up as she cried
brought us to a hotel with hope that he’d change his mind
but he didn’t, and mom had to change the situation
now we’re livin’, in florida, yet she remained patient
we were given, by my grandparents room where we stayed
helped my mom to her feet, cuz the groom didn’t change
soon enough, we’re movin’ in a little apartment
mom workin’ hard, so we’re never starving or parched, and
it’s a beautiful thing, how my mom had beat the odds
got the biggest of hearts, every problem she could solve
dad never came through and mom pushed for me
so i’m thankin’ you for doin’ all you could for me, mom
[hook]
this is, this is
this is one for mom
[verse 2]
growin’ up, mom was playin’ both roles
of a mother and father, taught me things most won’t, like
hold doors, say thanks, you’re welcome
hang around the right crowd, friends need, then help them
now i’m seein’ selfish people, their manners are so-so
later realized i could have ended up like those folks, cuz
they weren’t raised with the love i had
ma told me if they’re mad, show ’em love right back
she was always workin’ hard at whatever she did
hairdressing, or a waitress at the catering gig
never rich, but my mama was striving for this kid
she worked to get me all i’ve been writing on wish lists
playin’ basketball with me, she’d attempt to keep the score
she’d play goldeneye with me on nintendo 64
she’d accommodate my good friends and keep away the bad
anytime i had a fever, she’d be cleanin’ up the bath
mom sold her wedding ring just to buy me an ipod
everyday she hustled just to keep all our lights on
i’m d-mn blessed to have the mother that i have
and i’m d-mn blessed having her instead of any dad, cuz
who can tell if i would be this man?
the universe had set it up, and now i see its plan
great parent, great person, and a friend enough
mom i thank you… this is how i’ll send my love
