U Let Me Grow - EMC[00:00:00]

Last year we did a record that was dedicated to all our mothers[00:00:00]

Shortly yeah you can give it up for that[00:00:06]

Shortly after doin' the record uh my mom my mom passed away[00:00:10]

So my mom never got to hear this record[00:00:18]

And this song means a lot to me[00:00:21]

And my big brother masta ace is gon' gon' help tie the story together[00:00:24]

We might get a Lil a Lil emotional[00:00:27]

But y'all have to bear with us it's the first time we doing this record[00:00:29]

One month later unexpectedly my mother passes away[00:00:33]

And I didn't get a she didn't get a chance to hear the song either[00:00:38]

So this song is extra special to both of us[00:00:40]

We've never performed this song before[00:00:43]

We wanna share this with y'all is that cool[00:00:45]

Thank you momma for everything that you've done[00:01:11]

Living in the slums single mom and you raised a son[00:01:13]

I wanna thank you for the sacrifice[00:01:16]

For a lot of kids in the hood life wasn't half as nice[00:01:18]

Used to take me out to Coney island[00:01:21]

I don't recall many tears I remember only smiling[00:01:23]

I wanna thank you for the education[00:01:26]

The college tuition and all of life's preparation[00:01:29]

I used to think it was the worst day[00:01:32]

When you said I had to leave by my 21st birthday[00:01:33]

I didn't get it then I understand now[00:01:37]

All is good your boys are grown men now[00:01:39]

I got a plan now and I'm fine look[00:01:42]

And all my thanks couldn't fit into this rhyme book[00:01:44]

I ain't gon' wait until you can't say it back[00:01:47]

To tell you that I love you on a track I love you[00:01:49]

Made me strong like you wipe these tears when I cry[00:01:52]

Let your fingers wipe the cold from my eyes[00:01:55]

I'm ya baby taught me to stand on my own[00:01:57]

But couldn't show me some of the things I ain't know[00:01:59]

You let me grow[00:02:02]

Days like this momma said there would be[00:02:13]

Ten centimeters dilated then you pushed me[00:02:15]

Ain't psychic but been down the paths I traveled[00:02:18]

Decisions are the roads in life that has no arrows[00:02:20]

Became a compass I always had home as an option[00:02:22]

You accomplished on your own after you were adopted[00:02:25]

Knew that only you made me a stronger person[00:02:28]

Not those R rated movies or those songs with curses[00:02:30]

Was worth it and it shows but each day I'm annoyed[00:02:33]

Working to avoid being tyrese in baby boy[00:02:35]

Dated women that you didn't like friends I defended[00:02:38]

You knew that girl wasn't the one and those friendships ended[00:02:41]

Said your peace then let me grow[00:02:43]

Head to toe let me know lessons though[00:02:45]

What's best that kept me from dead below[00:02:47]

Places I begged to go[00:02:49]

Let me when bread was low[00:02:50]

Extra dough could've said no now I'm set to go[00:02:51]

You the best momma[00:03:05]

You definitely better than the rest momma[00:03:07]

Always did your thing to keep me freshly dressed momma[00:03:09]

And not once did I ever see you stress momma[00:03:11]

I'm so impressed momma[00:03:14]

You was the sun on my cloudy day[00:03:15]

And if you couldn't be that you would take them clouds away[00:03:17]

Wow I hope you smile to what I'm bout to say[00:03:20]

I love you moms and I hope I make you proud today[00:03:22]

Lunches for school you would always pack the nicest[00:03:25]

They was great now I appreciate them sacrifices[00:03:27]

When I was wrong you would let me know[00:03:30]

But at times you would let it go just so you could let me grow[00:03:32]

Basketball I don't think you ever missed a game[00:03:35]

If we lost you would say it's okay it's just a game[00:03:38]

I owe you so much and I can never pay you back[00:03:40]

But I give you music now just lay back and play the track[00:03:43]

Made me strong like you wipe these tears when I cry[00:03:46]

Let your fingers wipe the cold from my eyes[00:03:49]

I'm ya baby taught me to stand on my own[00:03:50]

But couldn't show me some of the things I ain't know[00:03:53]

You let me grow[00:03:55]

Send this out to all the mothers[00:04:10]

Yo my version of a mother's day card a blessing from God[00:04:16]

Our relationship left me permanent scarred[00:04:19]

Struggled with jobs straight crazy my main lady[00:04:21]

Your pockets was as broke as the promises you gave me[00:04:24]

Late eighties dated men that were straight shady[00:04:27]

You partied I was at the babysitters daily[00:04:29]

Seen rarely stayed missing stayed riffing[00:04:32]

I seen you fight the world your pops and a drug addiction[00:04:34]

Contradicting on my mother I was calling[00:04:37]

Ignoring grams raised your son like morning[00:04:39]

Tears falling you missed the growth and progression[00:04:42]

I'm at the graduation without a cheering section[00:04:45]

Harsh lessons I would live it again[00:04:47]

Cause all of this still made me the man that I am[00:04:49]

Mother and friend forgive you for all your mistakes[00:04:52]

I'm forgetting the past so let's start with a clean slate love[00:04:55]
