Chris Brown

Hey, momma
Are you proud of me?
Did I grow up to be everything you thought I d be?
And, hey, momma
I know it was hard
But you gave me more than I could ever repay you for
I love you, momma
Momma, momma, momma
Momma, momma, momma (uh)
Momma (look)
Momma

When I was young, me and my momma had smoke (uh-huh)
Young and misunderstood, them times
I hated the most (for real)
Hard to put on a smile when my generation was broke
And the babies raisin
a child in Section 8 the result (oh, yeah)
Slavin workin all day for
that minimum wage and it small (uh-huh)
Daddy ain t had no money, no occupation at all
ADHD all in me, I m bouncin off of the walls
My momma ain t had no patience
so my frustration evolved (oh, yeah)
Actin up in the class, my teachers think I m psychotic
I just wanted attention for times that I never got it
Addin to all the stress and I learned some lessons about it
But I just needed affection
cause I was reckless without it (facts)
Faithful for what you gave to me
even if you ain t got it (yeah)
Sacrifices you made for me, I knew nothin about it (uh-huh)
Told you one day I d make it and then I made you a promise
If I made you anything, then I hope I made you the proudest
For real

Momma, momma, momma (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Sittin in my bedroom plottin how to get us rich (yeah)
And I was only nine, them cockroaches were some bitch (damn)
Shit, we gon be fine, step-pops was makin flips (facts)
Workin fulltime, he taught me how to raise some kids (yeah)
Even if they wasn t mine, livin
with my sisters and we stuck together (oh)
So the times I felt alone
they helped make my depression better (yeah)
Some days my momma almost broke down
but I couldn t let her (no)
The older that I got, the more
I understood her better (yeah)
And she the realest one around, I got a real homie (yeah)
Momma always held me down
when papa done bailed on me (facts)
We ain t always see eye to eye, but she a kill for me (kill)
Send a nigga to the sky
then go to jail for me (go to jail for me)
Love what you gave to me even when you ain t got it (yeah)
Sacrifices you made for me, I knew nothin about it (uh)
Told you one day I d make it and then I made you a promise
If I made you anything, then I hope I made you the proudest
