[00:34.286]My momma, momma, momma, momma, momma
[00:47.138][Warren G]
[00:47.295]From the beginning, soon as my feet touched the earth
[00:49.750]For what it's worth, she loved the boy from birth
[00:51.840]Kept me fed, combed my head and tapped that tail when
[00:55.445]I didn't do what she said
[00:56.829]Through the years comin up momma always provided
[00:59.311]And when the times got rough momma always tried to hide it
[01:02.211]Divide it among us, but pardon the youngsters
[01:04.614]Told us never to lie, smoke ****, and cuss
[01:07.122]She stood tall and proud like a supermodel on a catwalk
[01:10.361]And momma didn't take no back talk
[01:12.320]She's the main reason why I roll today
[01:14.723]That's why I dedicate this to
[01:16.160]Ole Mae That's my momma
[01:18.929][Chorus]
[01:26.165][Warren G]
[01:38.286]As a young teenager
[01:39.540]I started to clown
[01:40.454]My momma did all she could to try to slow me down
[01:42.962]Tired of her son be brought by the cops
[01:45.887]Sent to go stay with my pops
[01:47.742]He taught me to be my own man, and when
[01:49.727]I disrespected he put me out on the streets to find my own land
[01:53.123]Now I'm servin on the urban street corner
[01:55.135]Smokin bud, sippin Coronas in Long Beach,
[01:57.616]California But I promised my momma
[01:59.288]I would make it to the top
[02:00.673]And use this rap to put her in the drop
[02:03.233]She the main reason why I roll today
[02:06.002]That's why I dedicate this here to my Ole Mae
[02:08.718][Chorus]
[02:28.780][Warren G]
[02:28.911]As I grew up, blew up in the
[02:30.635]G-Funk Era
[02:31.419]I see my momma everytime
[02:32.437]I take a look in the mirror
[02:33.535]I'm thankful she gotta chance to see me shine
[02:35.938]My momma's in my heart and my soul and mind
[02:39.020]Controllin mine, so
[02:39.908]I can stand strong
[02:40.823]For ya grandkids to let em know that ya spirit lives on
