Gotta say thank you to Zay’s Momma
I promise ya son is goin make you proud
It’s been all real since we started linkin
You birthed a vessel who makin sounds
That can lift up the spirits from tougher grounds
Just a few words to say I’m grateful
Couldn’t start off without payin homage
On my realest record and my truest thank you
Writin this one from a different place
For the one who taught me to say my grace
Yeah the one who taught me how to tie a lace
And Taught me chase it wit no restraints
Watched you carry the team wit no complaints
Seen my momma evolving in real time
Your story definеd as a real climb
On our darkest days helpеd us still shine
You was the one that we studied most
Yeah you Taught us through life how to handle growth
And no matter the play don’t abandon hope
Always said that’s the way it would help you cope
Respected ya word cause you didn’t fold it
Straight to the point how always how you told it
All your teachings are forever molded
In my being they’ve been dually noted
Momma I promise to never quit

Gotta make sure that you understand
How much I appreciate every hand
You put out for me when I needed lifted
Watchin you cheer for me from the stands
Almost felt better than truly playin
Always been a realist
You know what I’m sayin
Always know the right time to weigh in
Always had the place everybody stay in
Laugh and shake my head
When I’m Thinkin bout them days
I ain’t goin lie those moments
Shaped us heavy even when they hindered us ways
Took on 4 of us to raise
Kept us straight through every growing phase
We all beat the system know you amazed
Hopefully everything that I have grown to be
And I’m growing towards you can appreciate momma
I promise I got you for life
Remember the times you made less into more
Even when you couldn’t come wit the price
Momma you Always had kept us in tact
Roof over head
Clothes on our back
Trips out the valley
That Kept us on track
Unconditional love you showed it for fact
You was the realest
No matter the pressure
You always made sure that you held us together
Know the respect for you’s deeper than ever
You taught us courage no matter the weather
You taught us never look down on nobody
Cause we all equal & no one is better
You taught us focus and never say never
You chose the dedication over pleasure
Respect it

Made us appreciate being brown
You our superhero who held it down
My momma the realest
Held down the crib without no assist
Remember back when I was recording the uprise
You gave me 200 to get it mixed
Always believed in me since I was young
Even on days when I didn’t myself
Always set in my mind to put stock into health
While love and respect’s where you determine ya wealth
Had to make sure that I learned it myself
Over time those messages set in deeply
Got us up for school each day & weekly
Let us be ourselves open & freely
Never shut down our dreams
Only guided em
Taught us bout God
And ways to confide in em
Make best of opportunities
When you align with them
But don’t lose yourself while you’re findin em

You our superhero who held it down
Momma I promise to never let go of the values
And the things you taught me
Over two decades of growin beside you
Gave me things cash could’ve never bought me
Can honestly say that you always got me
Remember I quit my first college bid
You said get to work And that I did
Forever love from your third kid
Wanna make sure that I give you the honor the love
And make sure I say it loud
You gave up smoking and it’s been a minute
I know in my spirit Samantha proud
Watchin us grow and evolve over time
I know she can smile while in the clouds
Whenever I cry you say I’m allowed
So I hope this one can bring you smiles
Forreal
