Chief Vez - '61

-What's up Momma
This one for you Momma
You raised me on loyalty and honor
Respect and for that I love you Momma
Been through it all but we made it through Momma
You the reason I know blood thicker than water
So this one for you Momma
I said I did this one for you Momma

-May 6 83 KU Medical Center
Entered your first son I know that was the best feeling
My Daddy was illing he lost a woman like you
It changed his world he threatened to take his life too
Kinda feel him though what would life be without you
Loyal strong educated and beautiful
Gamed up this game ain’t nothing new to you
Really enjoyed my childhood give thanks to you
When it was good it was all good
When it was bad it was all bad but we still had each other
Remember walking in while you were cooking up
Bricks on the table just really seemed normal to us
Split my lip on accident when you & Debbie was fighting
Said I took my stitches like champ & didn’t cry about it
But when my Grandma passed man I cried about it
But all I wanted to do was be there for you
Calumet PD put hands on you it changed me
Admired Malcolm X he spoke on the same thing
Lil Bro Pops act like he ain’t get you pregnant
You simply dismissed him I gotta respect it
Even though later on left my Bro neglected
DCFS came through but you intercepted
Saw you break down about it like that really messed me up
But how you supposed to feel when they come and take your son
Sent me to KC with the family for awhile
My first time on the run but I was only 9
But there was no was gone leave my Brother behind
Went to court that day I knew was my time
So thankful that I met Mrs. Hobson
First foster lady used to lock me in a basement hostage
Really hate that lady and I’m just being honest
Even though you say don’t say don’t be that way choose another option
When you went to jail felt like I had no options
14 got a sack & I hit the streets grinding
Led to complications in school just didn’t work out
But how could I focus on school when the lights is off
Coat for cover had to open the oven
Before I went to sleep I said a prayer for my Mother
Homicide investigation stuck to our word
I was at home with you when the murder occurred
Damn we been through it all Momma
When my Pops passed I couldn’t even call Momma
You was incarcerated that’s doubled the pain
But since a kid I learned to deal with the pain
Thought out all of the turmoil our love stayed the same
So much to say I can’t fit it in a 16
I can’t fit it in a 16


-Strong black and independent yeah that was you
No matter how hard life got you always stuck through
The good times the bad times the sunshine & rain
Seeing my Momma through them glass walls you couldn't feel my pain
The pain deep damn near shed a tear as I'm writing this
Locked in the system she just wanted to provide for her kids
Daddy wasn't there that shit really changed me
My kids will never know the feeling of having a dead beat
My Big Bro laced me up with game and I'm forever thankful
Showed me how to be a man don't know how I could ever thank him
But back to you Momma
You raised us on loyalty and honor
Raised 5 kids without no Father
Being in and out of system just made ya job harder
Even though times was hard you still did your best
Irreplaceable for you I'll give my last breath

-What's up Momma
This one for you Momma
You raised me on loyalty and honor
Respect and for that I love you Momma
Been through it all but we made it through Momma
You the reason I know blood thicker than water
So this one for you Momma
I said I did this one for you Momma
