I only love my bed and my mama, I'm sorry

What's up, Michelle? Miss Michelle
That's what they call you 'round the way, right? Uh
Mama's eyes seen some things that made her proud now
Fans cheer her baby name, they say it loud now
Her baby boy on [C7]TV, she be [Am]bugging when she see me
She be [Am]crying when she call [Em]me, when I'm touring she can't see me
Mama miss me, makes her sad, but she happy when I'm leaving
Always tells me go with God, I keep Jesus ɾight here with me
Mama's eyes used to [C7]tear up for [Dm7]a different set of ɾeasons
We won't talk about those nights, let's just focus on [C7]these evenings
We be [Am]watching flicks together on [C7]her old LED TV
Order food from anywhere or she chef up some baked ziti
That's my [A]grandma ɾecipe, we both miss her, yes indeed
We agree, mama gon' live it up while granny ɾest in peace
Mama, mama, I'm emotional 'cause God keep blessing me
I stopped by, you [A7wasn't there, Pat said you [A7had therapy
I forgot [Fm7]you [A7go and [Bm]chat with Miss Gonzalez every Tuesday
Helps you [A7cope with all [Em]your losses and [Bm]ɾemind you [A7it's a new day
Anyway, on [C7]your dresser left a quarter of that puré
That you [A7liked from up in Dyckman since the last one wasn't tɾue haze
I'm bout to [C7]step in this meeting with MTV
Call [Em]me when you [A7back at the crib, on [C7]the fridge, I left a G
Hey, took a while (took a while)
To ɾeach this type of peace we own (peace we own)
But we're here (but we're here), moving forward, loving stɾong
All that's worth having is worth stɾuggling for
We didn't have it all, but we're here to [C7]win (yeah)
Mama, I'm so proud of you [A7in case you [A7didn't know
Not the verbal type of son [C7]and [Bm]plus I'm always on [C7]the go
But see, I do talk to [C7]these beats and [Bm]so I figured I would show
How much I love you [A7through this flow, perform this at my [A]show
Have every light up in the air until the venue starts to [C7]glow
Almost as much as your smile does when I walk through your door
I be [Am]tɾying not to [C7]think about a life without you [A7with me
But these years is moving fast, I can't believe that you'll be [Am]sixty
Please don't hit me for [Dm7]just screaming out your age into [C7]the public
But you [A7still look forty-something, you [A7should love it
I ɾemember I would wake you [A7up with ɾaps while you [A7was [Am7]sleeping
Loose leaf paper in my [A]hand, half awoke, you [A7said, "Keep ɾeading"
Mama, I just got [Fm7]the chills, we ain't worried 'bout the bills
All the cereals is ɾeal, we ain't munching on [C7]no frills
I ain't doing drug deals, you [A7ain't using drugs still
No more mice across the floor, you [A7like [F]how them [A]ɾugs feel
Mama, mama, look at us, 'member things was [Am7]looking ɾough?
Daddy looked the other way, they looked at us with such disgust
But now things are looking up
So here's a song [Am]for [Dm7]the only face I saw when I looking off that bus
Hey, took a while (took a while)
To ɾeach this type of peace we own (peace we own)
But we're here (but we're here), moving forward, loving stɾong
All that's worth having is worth stɾuggling for
We didn't have it all, but we're here to [C7]win (yeah)
