I gotta watch my little brother
cause I lost my loving mother
Wipe the tears from his eyes
Explain to a six year old
Growing up in Brooklyn isn't easy
as a waitress just to feed me
She used to tease me as I wrote graffiti
The cops are gonna catch a
and then you're gonna need me
Times were hard, had no home or cars
I paid a train car, dedicated to my moms
My little sister, how much do I miss her?
and it calls me like an angel in the distance
My stepfather laying drunk at the bar
All she ever wanted was for my success
was to take away her stress
Faced all my love and ran away
Mama's boy, don't be afraid
I'll always be there by your side
We'll meet again someday, sometime
Hey yo, as I sit back and I turn another page
Of this crime stories out in New York
Man, it's getting dark as it starts
Another day, another dollar
cops ready for the collar
Kids running wild in this land of the lost
Tough guys whacking one another
Hoping one day to be the boss
Only thing I had is God up in heaven
Maybe this time, I might roll a seven
let my daughters have a livin'
but his still body's unfound
Mama's boy, don't be afraid
I'll always be there by your side
We'll meet again someday, sometime
Hey yo, let the sun shine, it's a new day
Reminiscing what I had so far gone
But I'm bringing the names
back to life in this song
You're the one, you're a miss,
If the only good see the little faces
know you gotta love money
What is real is when they die,
Is move on and love your mom
They stole my love and ran away
Mama told me don't be afraid
I'll always be there by your side
We'll meet again someday,
There's so much love that ran away
My mama's boy don't be afraid
Based on my love that ran away
I'm out of my own little thing
I'll always be there by your side
They stole my love and ran away
Mama's boy, don't be afraid
I'll always be there by your side
We'll meet again someday, sometime
They stole my love and ran away
I'll always be there by your side
