Mama Nem - Tech N9ne

Let’s go, yeah

I feel this one mane

And this one is long overdue

It’s 'bout my Mama Nem

My mama, her sisters, her brothers, grandma too man

I just wanna take this time to speak about mama nem

Yeah, check it

She carried me when she was fifteen

Had me when she was sixteen

Reminiscing on how well she did things

Got one popped on 11/8/71, she had this king

She was baring that on that day

I was just a staring upon that face

With her, just declaring, my mom said «Wait»

Then her and her sisters named me Aaron Dontez Yates

She tried to give me everything I seen

KCP&L Gas Service was her means for green

Took me to the movies one day for Halloween to scream

Got me a big wheel couldn’t afford a green machine

But I loved it

When I got it, all my friends swarming

Cause in the projects big wheels wasn’t the norm

And I’m pouring this out to the woman I’m adoring

She knew I like Sugar Smacks and a fried baloney sandwich in the morning

Mama

I take you everywhere I go

I thank you’re mine, that’s my momma nem

I only know what I know 'cause of my mama nem

You gave me life and made me me

I don’t know who I’d be without

My auntie nem, my sisters and, my uncle nem

Mama nem

When I got bad grades I was in the heat seat

Got a whoppin when I used another kids cheat sheet

But when I got a good grade card she bought me Beat street

The single, ayo I had that mug on repeat

Mama nem taught me rythm that I use yep

My uncle nem say’s stay on your P’s and Q’s neph'

Mama talking catch you, if you actin' like you deaf

God-fearing still taught me how to two-step

Took me to church, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

Saturday

Than Sunday thinking why me?

That was mama nem placin' the love inside me

Our house was lively

My granny house, 8 girls and 4 boys beside me

Thanking Mama nem, for the weight that you carry

Pulling my teeth with thread sayin «boy you scary»

I ‘memba mama laughin sayin' «Is it loose?»

«Very»

Pull it then, put cash in my pillow sayin' its the tooth fairy

Mama

I take you everywhere I go

I thank you’re mine, that’s my momma nem

I only know what I know 'cause of my mama nem

You gave me life and made me me

I don’t know who I’d be without

My auntie nem, my sisters and, my uncle nem

Mama nem

Epilepsy at 18, the lupus hit her

Pancreatitus was taking her but God was with her

I asked to show me something 'cause I was all bitter

Right after that the pancreatitus had all withered

Mama?

«Yeah»

Mama!

«What?»

MAMA!!!

«WHAT Boy?»

I’m a big timer

I’m always away from you 'cause of this music biz drama

But I really miss you and I’m always thinking 'bout big mama

She used to make that Thanks Giving and Christmas dinner

Grandma’s home cooking easily show up Mrs Winners

Mama nem would take you in even if you’re vicious sinner

Nobody would ever take that humungous love that’s within her

If your mama gone, heavens where mum belongs

But if your momma home, call ya momma phone

And say I love you momma and you are not alone

I just wanted to thank you and that’s why I made this momma song

Mama

I take you everywhere I go

I thank you’re mine

I only know what I know cause of my mama nem

You gave me life and made me me

I don’t know who I’d be without

My auntie nem, my sisters and, my uncle nem
