[Chorus: Karley]

Mommy, you were there when I needed a friend

You were there when I wanted your help

You took care of me

You gave me the support I need

Mommy, you were there when I needed a friend

You were there when I wanted your help

You took care of me

You gave me the support I need

[Verse 1: SmokeXCVI]

I always seem to learn sh*t the hard way

When I was young I got kicked out my moms place

Made it this far 'cause of God's grace

Falling short and my momma always fills the space

Feeling like a turtle in hare race

Momma raised a king, Imma make it mate

She a red pen when I make mistakes

She heard a song of mine and called me future Drake

Similar to a certain panther

When it comes to life, you got the answers

For you I'll cop a house in the east

Making sure you're sorted before RIP

I got the plans, for you I got the plans

We finna trip, Paris - Milan

[Bridge: SmokeXCVI, Karley & Adolescent Bambino]

"I could never pay you pay back, but my plan is to show you that I understand"

[Chorus: Karley]

Mom you were there when I needed a friend

You were there when I wanted your help

You took care of me

You gave me the support I need

Mom you were there when I needed a friend

You were there when I wanted your help

You took care of me

You gave me the support I need

[Verse 2: SmokeXCVI]

You were younger than I am when you had me

Could've aborted but you had a nigga gladly

You're the reason why a nigga so savvy

You held me down when I got sick badly

Tryna be a role model to my brothers

Life is harder for them, tears soaked in bed covers

It's sad that you and dad don't get a long

I mention that on sentimental songs

It was harder for you, I know

You a star momma, now let it show

[Bridge: SmokeXCVI, Karley & Adolescent Bambino]

"I could never pay you pay back, but my plan is to show you that I understand"

[Chorus: Karley]

Mommy, you were there when I needed a friend

You were there when I wanted your help

You took care of me

You gave me the support I need

Mommy, you were there when I needed a friend

You were there when I wanted your help

You took care of me

You gave me the support I need

[Verse 3: SmokeXCVI]

Go through hard times and a verse born

Take my word I'll make you proud as the first born

Couldn't be a doctor or lawyer

I'd rather get paid to make these songs, spend it on you

I can't wait til you meet my girl

She just like you and you just like her

You a queen, a lady, a soldier

You hold it down, never lose your composure

I know you're proud when you see a nigga grow up

But you're never too grown to show love

Put you through a lot, used to be a rascal

Now your problems are the problems that I tackle

We gon be alright, rest asured

Pain from the past and the fam is the cure

You let them know your son is real to the core

Moms in sight...

Love galore

[Bridge: SmokeXCVI, Karley & Adolescent Bambino]

"I could never pay you pay back, but my plan is to show you that I understand"

[Chorus: Karley]

Mom you were there when I needed a friend

You were there when I wanted your help

You took care of me

You gave me the support I need

Mom you were there when I needed a friend

You were there when I wanted your help

You took care of me

You gave me the support I need
