[Intro]
You brotha's
Ya'll forget you got a mama
Got a lady that stick with you through thick and thin
But you dog her
And you ain't been through half the shit she been
You step in the church
Every morning, six A.M., up from work
Daddy always kept it real
Taught you how a man s'pose to feel
Not afraid to cook and clean
Ain't even into the party scene
But no matter what you do
Every man that you meet
Want his cake and eat it too

The victim of every sad song
Her mother and her father
Definition of the perfect daughter
But she can't find a man
Who done been half the things
She done been
If you out there raise your hand
Raise your hand
Check it out
You like the thought of makin love
Occassional kisses and a few hugs
Want a family, raise some kids
Just like your mamma and your daddy did yeah
But every guy you start to dig
Comes with baggage and no gig, yeah

Got a baby mama, and a lot of bills
You foot the bill, but he come and go at will

Always in a house but never at a home
