had no idea the lord would take my mom away from me
cold part about it i was only 6 when she died
aunt Sandie and grandma Dorothy wiped the tears from my eye
ever since i could remember they been guardian angels
whenever life started choking me they would loosen up the strangle
wish i had a million dollars, i would hand it over
so i can see my auntie in a Bentley and my grams in a range rover

Verse 2
Daddy was around but he stayed gone
even when he was at home he never stayed long
he was in the street, so i raised myself
without his guidance i fell off and almost played myself
i got put out the house and started livin like a hobo
contemplated suicide but grandma said that was a no-no
then auntie came and picked me up and gave me some bread
they gave me life when everybody else had left me for dead
i was in jail sometimes, but they know im not a crook
so they kept letters comin daily and kept money on my books
i thank the lord for 'em, can't nobody take they places
i just wanna make 'em happy, keep a smile on they faces
they deserve the world, the universe and the galaxy
for stayin by my side throughout my hard times and tragedies
can't nobody ever take the place of my momma
but raisin me was hard, so i thank god for my ...
Chorus
