[Chorus: Tony Sunshine]

Hey, mama, sorry for the things that I have done

You will always be my number one, I'm sorry (Oh yeah)

Hey, mama, you will always be my shining star

Held me tight when I was in your arms

I'm sorry (Mami, I'm sorry, oh yeah)


[Post-Chorus: Tony Sunshine]

Madre querida se que te rompi el corazon

Vine a perdirte el perdon (Ay, mami, oh yeah)

Tu eres mi vida porque es que yo canto esta cancion

Vine a pedirte el perdon (Ay, mami; mami perdona me)

Perdon madre mia


[Verse: Cuban Link]

Mami, I'm sorry, I know I probably broke your heart

I'm just like Papi, hope this apology hears your scars like Miyagi

You stood by me right from the start

I love you, mami, from your son, you'll always be my shining star

Made me proud to be part of a family (Thanks, ma)

You never lied to me or tried to be somebody you're not

You told me how to be a proper G just like Grandpa

And always told me to be tough in a problem you can't solve

Never abandoned me, always sang me to sleep with sweet lullabies

Ma, I apologize, I swear it on my father's eyes

Make up for all the lies, overgrow old and wise

Life's too short, as young as I am, I can't afford to die

Is all nice, so I praise God you still alive

Sixty-five, still giving your grandson piggy rides

I wonder why when I was young, I wanted guns and knifes

Puffin' blunts, getting high, just hangin' with the guys

Time flies just like Back to the Future, watchin' my son

Now's another reason why I salute you a trooper

A Superwoman from Cuba, good in cooking

Shit, my moms las reina de las tuffas no hay escusas

The truth is that I went too far 'cause if not

I wouldn't have been behind bars, locked up, sleeping on cots

Never forgot you and Pops bailed me out on the spot

Soon as I got home, my mom started landing the knots

That meant you love me a lot, I made you suffer a lot

Inside, you hurting but outside, you looking tough as a rock

Up in the Bronx, growing up in the profess of blocks

Where you can't trust nobody and the buses don't stop

We lived the hard-knock life, far from nice, Mom was right

Pops would take the better last dollar on the cock fights

Thanks to Christ, now I rock mics for a lunch prize

Trying to do was right, paying you back for what you sacrificed


[Chorus: Tony Sunshine]

Hey, mama, sorry for the things that I have done

You will always be my number one, I'm sorry (Oh yeah)

Hey, mama, you will always be my shining star

Held me tight when I was in your arms

I'm sorry (Mami, I'm sorry, oh yeah)


[Interlude: Cuban Link]

Yeah, perdon madre mia

Mami, I love you

You know that just sometimes it's hard to express it

The life I live, the life i chose

So I'm here to express my real feelings

You know i love you now an forever

'Til death do us part, you'll always be my heart


[Post-Chorus: Tony Sunshine]

Madre querida se que te rompi el corazon

Vine a perdirte el perdon (Ay, mami, oh yeah)

Tu eres mi vida porque es que yo canto esta cancion

Vine a pedirte el perdon (Ay, mami; mami perdona me)

Perdon madre mia (Mami perdona me)
