I'll Be There (feat. Phonte)

Sunshine or rain (uh-huh, like), I'll be there (I know you feel me)
Whether good times or bad, I'll be there (I'll be there)
Sunshine or rain (uh-huh), I'll be there (that's how it's always gon' be)
Whether good times or bad, I'll be there

Hey, see, I was six years old with a dream
When my moms told me I can do anything
Said she'd be there forever, no matter what's the weather
She'd always have my back even when we weren't together
And I took her for granted, thought I had a plan
This a different generation, I don't think you'd understand
In the quest to be a man, you start to learn you need your family
It wasn't for them, I'd be way closer to insanity

It ain't about the vanity, think 'bout what's important
The reason I was six years old rocking some Jordans
The reason I had food, my own damn room
A TV and a living room to watch my cartoons
I just hope she know I love her, the world's best mother
Yeah, ain't fair, so I'ma take care of her and her gray hair
When I get rich, I'll have her living like she should be
No stress, no worries, you can call me 'cause it's

Sunshine or rain (uh-huh, like), I'll be there (I know you feel me)
Whether good times or bad (I know you feel me like), I'll be there (hey)
Sunshine or rain, I'll be there (that's how it's always gon' be)
Whether good times or bad (that's how it's always gon' be), I'll be there

Hey, hey, hey
Dear mama, please don't start to cry
You the reason I'm alive, how these years have gone by
You were there when I was on my first bike ride, riding in the street
And that delivery truck almost ran right over me

You were at my games when I was sitting on the bench
When I skipped school, you lied saying I was home sick
Had my back before I had my own
I know I'm always welcome when I'm back at home
I just wanna bring you out on stage to get a standing ovation
All the work you did to make my life feel like a vacation

If you have your moms, you better treat her right
Call her up, say, "wassup" before you sleep tonight
Tell her you love her and thank her for what she did
You may be grown now but remember being a kid when she fed you in a bib, shit
You were her baby, so find out what she doing lately, uh
I wanna tell you momma

Sunshine or rain, I'll be there
Whether good times or bad, I'll be there (I know you feel me right)
Sunshine or rain, I'll be there (what's up, Mom?)
Whether good times or bad, I'll be there

Hey, hey, haha
Hey, hey
Some shit ya just gotta say
Mm-hmm, like
Uh-huh
