Baby, take your time
Time is on your side
Young and full of life
Some things won't go right
Don't you know you're a butterfly?
Show me truth and lies
Taught me how to teach
Taught me how to rise
I love watching you learn new things
Remember when your head was the size of my palm?
Remember when I heard your heartbeat for once?
It was the sweetest BPM I've ever known
How could I even love something I've never known?
I held you for the first time and I knew we'd rock and roll
You turned to my best friend 'fore you even spoke a word
To you, I'm the best rapper, I don't need no awards
To you, I'm a superhero, that just means more to me
Wasn't able to afford these things
Now I see why my mama yelled at me
I can see how she was obsessed with me
This little baby got a hold of me (this little baby got a hold of me)
Controllin' me, I wanna be your everything
I know that you look up to me
I hope that I don't let you down
'Cause everything looks bigger where you are right now
And everyone looks cooler when they're lookin' down
18 years old when I had you
So they had so much to say
But we turned out good anyway
We turned out okay
I thank my mama for making me strong
I thank my mama for making me strong
I thank my mama for making me strong
I thank my mama for making me strong
Mommy, I love you, and you're- I miss you a lot
I can't wait to see you and I love you, love you
You're coming too, too late
I really want you to come, please, hurry up
Or I'll cough venom on you, please, come up
I love you, mommy
