lOOk$ Mother is such a simple word
But 2 me there’s meaning seldom heard
I learned about love from you
Watching your caring ways
I learned about joy from you
In fun-filled yesterdays
For everything I am today
My mothers love showed me the way
From you I learned forgiving
Of faults both big and small
I learned what I know about living
From you, as you gave life your all
The example you set is still with me I'd never want any other
I'm thankful for all that you taught me
And I'm blessed to call you Mother
I’ll love my mother all my days
For enriching my life in so many ways
She set me str8 and den set me free
And that’s what the word mother means 2 me.

Ja EazyDear mamma i wanna say like Tupac, your appreciated
if i could u would have everything on a silver platter an
now i feel wat ya had to go threw trying to raise me
a lil hustla running aorund didn’t have respect for ya completely
running from the cops u took me and gave me sense
getting wat ever i needed and nuttin for u off of welfare expense
kicking me out was for the good and i know it hurt ur loven heart
but that made me write rhymes, mom u gave me a kick start
even if this doesn’t go platinum it doesn’t matter cuz it was for u
wen ya said i didn’t care for ya it hurt me cuz it was all untrue
standing by my side i know now u would never leave it
it was him it was u mamma that got me my first baseball mitt
i disowned ya wen i was a teen for going selling rocks
u told me not to and its surprisingly tru like a lik kid and cracker jack box
till this day aint no one going to take my mommas place
i know it was hard tryin to raise a thug like goin in a rat race
but hey all those years r over and this one is for my mom
one word to her and ill leave yall dead or wit shellshock Vietnam
so this is all to tell ya that mom i love ya
aint never leave me noon will take ya place this is for ya.

U.S.P. Coming once a year, but shown in constant emotion through actions
Mother showing her children love through any situation or distraction
Raising me from birth, and taking me in with a loving heart
Not like some mothers who see there kid then slowly depart
Even if sometimes you weren’t there, your presence was surely felt
I could talk to you about any situation no matter what hand I was dealt
But it hurt when I was around 8, seeing you leave broke my intent
Did you not love me anymore, all of those memories, where had they went
So for days I cried myself to sleep, not knowing what I had done
I didn’t know it wasn’t my fault and my life without both parents just begun
It started off hard, but I learned quickly and I began to grow up fast
Knowing that seeing my family together and happy was just a thing of the past
I knew my from that day, standing in the driveway at the tender age of 8
That my life had changed dramatically and this was my unchangeable fate
Moving on was hard of course, and I hoped I would see you return
Like a child waitin for his parent to return from a war, my heart had concern
But as the days turned to weeks, months turned to years, I finally understood
That this wasn’t my fault, but how could God Punish me if I only did good
Seven years later, I’m still missing you dearly; times to see you aren’t long
But ever since that day I became a man and my heart grew strong
Knowing you’ll never see a High School football game that I play
Looking into the stands to see nothing, but somehow I pray
Somehow I kept my head high, brighter days to come is all I could think
The only way to take the pain away was to write down poems enlaced with ink
Ever since I witnessed you and dad argue and fight I promised myself that day
That I would treat my girl right and never hurt her in any kind of way
I also made another promise, something just as big and as true
That I would stay with my wife and watch our kids develop as they grew
Cause I know that’s what hurt you, not seeing me mature like a piece of life taken
Not knowing what you have right now, cause this material joy has us forsaken
But through the rain and pain, im going to keep my promises in sight
Cause I never want my child to experience the pain I felt when you left that night
I broke down, thought about if I caused it, what I didn’t do to help its process stop
Imma always be there for my kids and wife and never let there heart drop
With my wife, she will never be treated wrong, im always remaining true
She’ll always have a happy home, emotions wont lie back in a corner subdue
What you instilled on me in that day that you left, was something I never knew
I found out that you loved me all along and that my heart was always with you
What I’m trying to say is thank you, even without your presence, I learned a lot
Before you moved away our family had love that in my mind will never be forgot
I’ve known since I was 8, our family wouldn’t be together again no matter if I pray
But even if your not here in person right now, I just wish you a happy Mothers Day
