Life Ain't Cool

Sharin liquor with the homies, reminiscin bout the old days

Cookin dinner in your kitchen listenin to the bar-kays

When i was sick, you came got me from school

When i got suspended momma, you taught me the rules

And even though, i never had a daddy

Momma took me where i need to go in a old school caddy

A single parent on welfare

And even though times were hard momma made sure the rent was there

And we couldn't fold name brands

But momma kept her kids neat, that's why we understand

And momma even rode the greyhound

To see her little man, when he was locked down

And even though i life the street life

Momma prayin for her baby, hope he get his mind right

It feel good to see momma on top

I told you if i make it momma you won't be forgot

Chorus: repeat 2x

[singers] momma life ain't cool

[master p] ain't no woman like my momma

[singers] tell me what would i do without you

[master p] ain't no woman like my momma

[mystikal]

I thank god, for keeping you strong, but you keep me strong

Things'd be different if, momma wasn't home

Who gon' fix the grits and eggs and smoked sausage

Teach me and love me and raise me and watch me

Who gon' lift my spirits when i get sad?

Discipline me when i need a stain whip on my ass

I was seven years old when i lost dad

Trying to accept the fact but i was too young to understand

Who gon' take the slack and carry the load?

Make ends meet while in the grocery stores?

Who's the single parent to me and my big sister

That had me happy on my birthday and merry at christmas?

Who took care of us, did everything for us?

Stood by and didn't leave, just because

We was yours, she was ours

Who was still sweet when everything went sour?

You mom!

Chorus

[silkk the shocker]

I couldn't imagine gettin this far, without you

Even when the bills was due, you found a way to come through

Even though we didn't have money, we seemed rich

We had each other me and my sisters and brothers, forget the other shit

You was side by side when i was sick

Early in the morning, cooking eggs and grits

You was the first one up, but you was the last one sleepin

Made sure we had somethin to eat, last one to eatin

Couldn't live our life for us so, let us know

Wanted to tell us, but you had to just, let us grow

Gettin older now, soon have to, let us go

We was goin through some things momma but you never, let it show

And i only get one of you so i, cherish the times

Didn't know how to tell you how much you meant to me

So i wrote that line

So wherever you at, i hope you doin fine

You did so much for me then, i'll do the same for you in time

Chorus
