Momma and Daddy
Produced by: Tim Strickland
Background vocals:

(Chores) Mamma and Daddy, I just want to thank you for putting up with me all through these years. Mamma and Daddy, I just want to thank you now you can wipe away all your tears.
Verse 1: Ain?t no woman like my Mamma. Ain?t no man like my Daddy. I give thanks to you Father, it?s a blessing that they had me. Check it out. Looking back over the years I made you shed some tears, but through it all Mom and Dad you were always there. You sacrificed your needs to fulfill mine and it?s because of your love I couldn?t let you down. So, I made it Ma, on top of the world and it?s because of you Dad I can hold my own. I love you both more than words can say and before I choose between your love, I?d walk away. Why? Because I don?t need the hurt of trying to pick and choose when I love both of you, you stayed together though your life was wild. You had your problems, but you raised you child, that?s why.

Verse 2: Rest in Peace. Mom you know you?re my number girl you pushed me in this world and I thank God. As for those nine months you carried me crawling inside of you no charge. I still feel I owe you and I always told you one day I?m a move you away from the ghetto to a better place. From a boy, to a man Mom understand, there isn?t anything or anyone that I could be, if I didn?t have you by my side, you see you were always there showing me you care. You said with love I can rise above all the petty little things that people would say or do to try and bring me down, it?s you who?s always around with open arms and a open heart. That?s why I love you Mom and we?ll never part. You feel me?
(Chores)
Verse 3: Today Dad, your love brings me joy, but looking back on when I was a little boy, I didn?t understand. I couldn?t see your love through all your discipline and I remember thinking, my Dad must hate me. But, you were just teaching me hence you?ve made me the man that I am today and I must say. I?m sorry it took so many years before I knew. Oh, those tidbits you told me turn out to be true. You said, ?You can?t trust everybody.? So, when I wanted to run down the streets to my friends and play you would often say, ?If there?re your friends they?ll come to your house sometimes.? Now, I realize and it?s all so clear. Whenever, I needed you dad you were there. So, thanks for everything and Oh yeah, I love you Man.
