This Is Dedicated

8Ball

[Verse 1]
So happy, you filled me with joy
Thinking about what you did for your baby
Catching the bus in the snow on your way to work
Sometimes I’d walk with you to make sure you didn’t get hurt
Old dues flirt, but none really turned your head
If they was broke and walking, conversation turned dead
Breaking your back for them white folks every day
Making sure you and I had somewhere to stay
I remember when my great-grandmama was living
Senile and had to get a lot of your attention
You was young then but you still made time
She was going blind and losing her mind
It wasn’t nobody there but you to help her up
When she fell out of bed always reaching for stuff
You’re an angel, put on earth to watch over me
Thanks for watching over me, and this is dedicated…

[Chorus]
I got much love for sure
Mama, I wish I could do more
You gave me life from yours
And I appreciate my mama
So I dedicate

[Verse 2]
I always into something—weed and women
14-years-old, hustlin’ and street living
Giving all my time trying to be a key figure
In the cut getting blowed with them yam selling niggas
You always knew I had my hands in some stickiness
But I respected you by keeping you out of my business
But all things done in the dark come to the light
And God would never ever let me forget the night
Tears rolled down your cheek and your voice trembled
Telling me the police just left here looking for you
I know you don’t want me to be a thug
Always asking about my friends, hearing we sell drugs
Rapping wasn’t paying a cent then but you understood
Putting up with all my mess and doing what you could
Not to have a nervous breakdown, worrying
But for all your worry, this is dedicated

[Chorus]
I got much love for sure
Mama, I wish I could do more
You gave me life from yours
And I appreciate my mama
So I dedicate

[Verse 3]
Way back before you, and long before me
Long before CD’s and big-screen TV’s
Before Run-DMC, before the Bee Gees
Before Star Wars, and movies turned 3-D
Before hip-hop turned into cosmic slop
Way before cocaine boiled into a crack rock
Long before the first victim of a gun got shot
Before any superstar ever reached the top
Everybody has had or now has
Someone that they can call “momma”
I say, everybody has had or now has
Someone that they can call “momma”
Can you dig that?

[Chorus]
I got much love for sure
Mama, I wish I could do more
You gave me life from yours
And I appreciate my mama
So I dedicate
Much love for sure
Mama, I wish I could do more
You gave me life from yours
And I appreciate my mama
So I dedicate

[Outro]
This is dedicated, this is dedicated to you
Yeah yeah, yeah, this is dedicated to you
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Can you dig that?
