Times were hard and they never got better,
But I was never the one to be a bed-wetter
I am who I am because of one person
Who brought me up and led me to be a good one
We always struggled while I was growing up
But there was always food and drink in my cup
She was the one who taught me to live life
And the reason to not have sex without a wife.
To disgrace her would kill her and I can't have that
That's why I only lie and cuss behind her back
I remember times when I would wait outside
Just to catch a glimpse of her Pontiac's headlight
Sometimes I'd wait for hours while my dad was on the couch
Cuz I knew if I went in there he'd tell me to shut my mouth
I hated him and she knew this
So when she got home I always got a kiss
There was never anything that she would stay mad
If that so happened forever I'd be sad
She loved me no matter and treated me like no other
That's why I will always be there for my mother
