Yo
I wanna take this time out to dedicate this song
To one of the most beautiful ladies in the world
Could never imagine
Yeah
Ole Mae
that's my momma
y'know
To one of the most beautifulest ladies in the world
I love ya
momma
keep it strong for ya
My momma used to tell me quit smoking weed
My momma gave me everything that I need
My momma said
"Keep faith in God"
My momma
momma
momma

My momma used to tell me quit smoking weed
My momma gave me everything that I need
My momma said
"Keep faith in God"
My momma

momma
From the beginning
soon as my feet touched the earth
For what it's worth
she loved the boy from birth
Kept me fed
combed my head
And tapped that tail when I didn't do what she said
Through the years comin' up
momma always provided
And when the times got rough
momma always tried to hide it
Divide it among us but pardon the youngsters
Told us never to lie
smoke dope and cuss
She stood tall and proud like a supermodel on a catwalk
And momma didn't take no back talk
She's the main reason why I roll today
That's why I dedicate this to Ole Mae
that's my momma
My momma used to tell me quit smoking weed
My momma gave me everything that I need
My momma said
"Keep faith in God"
My momma
momma
momma
momma
momma
My momma used to tell me quit smoking weed
My momma gave me everything that I need
My momma said
"Keep faith in God"
My momma
momma
momma

As a young teenager I started to clown
My momma did all she could to try to slow me down
Tired of her son bein' brought home by the cops
Sent to go stay with my pops
He taught me to be my own man and when I disrespected
He put me out on the streets to find my own land
Now I'm servin' on the urban street corner
Smokin' bud
sippin' Coronas in Long Beach
California
But I promised my momma
I would make it to the top
And use this rap to put her in the drop
She's the main reason why I roll today
That's why I dedicate this here to my Ole Mae
My momma used to tell me quit smoking weed
My momma gave me everything that I need
My momma said
"Keep faith in God"
My momma
momma
momma
momma
momma
My momma used to tell me quit smoking weed
My momma gave me everything that I need
My momma said
"Keep faith in God"
My momma
momma
momma
momma
momma
As I grew up
blew up in the G-Funk Era
I see my momma every time I take a look in the mirror
I'm thankful
she gotta chance to see me shine
My momma's in my heart and my soul and mind
Controllin' mine
so I can stand strong
For ya grandkids to let 'em know that ya spirit lives on
I really miss you but I know ya looking over
Lead me on the right track
the angel on my shoulder
My momma used to tell me quit smoking weed
My momma gave me everything that I need
My momma said
"Keep faith in God"
My momma
momma
momma
momma
momma
My momma used to tell me quit smoking weed
My momma gave me everything that I need
My momma said
"Keep faith in God"
My momma
momma
momma
momma
momma
So I want y'all to treasure ya mom
Ya know
so if y'all got a bad relationship
Or y'all on bad terms
patch it up
Ain't nothing wrong with that
That's a precious jewel
Remember that
we all gotta go through it
So stay strong
down dis
dis road
ya know
But I cant forget about all the people
Out there that I love and got my back
So I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna shoot a shout out
My daddy
my sistas
my brothers
my girl
my kids
My cousins
my aunties
my uncles
my grand momma
My granddaddy
all my homeboys
all my home girls
And everybody out there that got love
know what I'm saying?
We gotta keep it like that
we gotta keep it groovin'
