By yourself


I remember way back when

It was just me you and my siblings

You aint have no man

I don't think you really needed him

I grew up without a dad

I just think that was a blessing

If you don't need him

I don't need him

We was in this thing together

Ma you did your best

You gave a good life for you children

And if i lost you

i don't think there be a meaning

So ima tuff it out

ima make it you gonna see it

Make sure you don’t have to work

We gonna have bank accounts full of millions

Make sure you always happy

No frowning

I want you smiling

You did it by yourself

Raised five healthy children

I consider that an accomplishment

No man you ain’t need him

You know i love ma  

Keep your head up

You all i ever needed
