Mom's Heart

I used to think I came from nothing
Until I saw what nothing was
All the things I took for granted
Clean clothes
Food and
Love
Me and my brothers always fighting
Mom always at Uni or her job
But I never felt neglected
I didn't know what lonely was
I thought I came from poverty
Cause I had holes in my socks
Thought I'd have some money
If mommy let me role with the rocks
But she kept us off the street
With our bellies full up
The real reason I ain't rich
I wasn't hungry enough
Thought we'd never be Kings Until we had silver spoons
We will always be Kings
Cause mamas blood runs blue
Now we're raising
Young Princes and
Princesses too
And we can not go wrong if we raise them like you

Everything you had
An you dain't have much
Still everything you had, Mom
You gave to us
I ain't tryna brag
But you went right with us
So I'll raise all mine
With my mother's touch
Everything you had
An you dain't have much
Still everything you had, Mom
You gave to us
I ain't tryna brag
But you went right with us
So I'll raise all mine
With my mother's touch

You were selfless from the start
Taught us how to walk with God
So much of who we are
Comes from who first taught us love
Prayed to keep us from the dark
All the kindness you showed us
I know the father I've become
Is cause I've got my mothers heart

Sometimes I wonder why I can never be alone
And why I confide myself in this broken home
And why I promise my son all these things when he's old
And why I'm buying these peops all these things when I'm broke
I buy all these umbrellas
But still when it rains
I'm walkin outside with these clouds in my face
With my eyes set on home
My son's hand in my hand
Saying all the right things to try raise a good man

But
I never had a father
OK I have a father
But he ain't raise
He just made me
He ain't teach me nothin
OK he taught me something
That my son needs a father
Not to go out there making babies If I can't be a father
Don't twist it I ain't mad
In fact I love my dad
As I got older he got better
Guess that's why I'm sad
He found God
And now my dad's the man I wish I had
I guess that's why I'm glad
My son he loves his grandad
I speak 'bout him with pride
I guess I'm more like my dad than I first realised
I'm far from perfect
I ain't bad
No, I'm the perfect guide
To teach kids that they ain't bad
Something just ain't gone right
We can't tell em
Unless we show them how to do things better
Somebody must believe
That they can be much better
We're the ones who find Gold in the hearts of others
But we can't take the credit
We get it from our mothers

See they were selfless from the start
Taught us how to walk with God
So much of who we are
Comes from who first taught us love
Prayed to keep us from the dark
All the kindness they showed us
I know the fathers we've become
Is cause we've got our mothers hearts

Everything you had
An you dain't have much
Still everything you had, Mom
You gave to us
I ain't tryna brag
But you went right with us
So I'll raise all mine
With my mother's touch
Everything you had
An you dain't have much
Still everything you had, Mom
You gave to us
I ain't tryna brag
But you went right with us
So I'll raise all mine
With my mother's touch

You were selfless from the start
Taught us how to walk with God
So much of who we are
Comes from who first taught us love
Prayed to keep us from the dark
All the kindness you showed us
I know the father I've become
