Uh this real (its you that i owe)

I owe you (said i owe you)



They say the ones you take for granted

You miss the most

Woke up every mornin to grits and toast

School clothes spread

Anything that i needed was there

You get it prepared (yea) (you did it for me)

The mother of my father

Known as my grandmother

I reffer to you as mama

Noone calmer or conciderit

As you my dear

Love my parents just as much

But lets get one thing clear

You raised me by choice and you didnt have to (mama)

Showed me where to go when i had to use the bathroom

Id give you my last breath if i had to



[chorus:]

When i stop,look back think about my life

You gave me your love weather wrong or right

Ooo i owe you come on I owe you (its you that i owe)

When i was down and out

And all my friends was gone

You stayed by my side never left me alone

Ooo i owe you (its you that i owe) (i owe you) I owe you

(its you that i owe) (yes i do)

Plus no child support, you did it on your own

Independent women you the queen of my throne

Condos to one bedroom we called home

Long as you was there i was never alone

Though we had our ups and downs

Its all up now

You used to wear small fr
