Yo, it's not ya momma fault, it's ya fathers fault

It's your fathers fault your mother is an alcoholic

Confusin' the brain from the booze and the pain

And plus he cheated on her, beated on her, smack dead in the rain

She lost her first child in 74

And that lead to nervous breakdowns bacardi dark she downin' it raw

She can't take it, she constantly cryin', fallin' down on her knees

Like help me,

Lord, please,

I'm ready to leave

All she needed was somebody to rub her feet

Give her a nice hug and rescue her from off these streets, c'mon

In the hood there's a struggle, my girl is in trouble

She lackin' guidance in the mind, she's blinded and puzzled

Her pops never showed her the ropes

Her moms raised mad kids on her own

She never had a strong man in her home

Nothing in this life, sun don't always shine

But it can't rain all the time(Everything's gonna be alright)

Somebody sees your pain

You will never hurt again

I see you momma, yeah

You can cry yours eyes(Cry your eyes)

It will be alright(It will be alright)

Hustlin', strivin', strugglin' survivin'

Momma, momma

Through the sun or the rain, through the pain

I'ma hold you down, hold you down

Through the good, or the bad times,

I got love for you

The stress and the heart aches, so much love for you, yeah

Through the good or the bad times

Through the stress and the heart ache
