Artist: Eightball Album: Lost Song: This Is Dedicated Typed by: jostmatt at bluewin dot ch [ VERSE 1: Eightball ] So happy, you fill me with joy Thinkin about what you did for your baby boy Catchin the bus in the snow on your way to work Sometimes I walked with you to make sure you didn't get hurt Old dudes flirt, but none really turned your head If they was broke and walkin conversation turned dead Breakin your back for them white folks every day Makin sure you and I had somewhere to stay I remember when my great grandmama was livin Senile, and had to get a lot of your attention You was young, man, but you still made time She was goin blind and losin her mind And wasn't nobody there but you to help her up When she fell out of bed, always reachin for stuff You're an angel, put on Earth to watch over me Thanks for watchin over me and this is dedicated I got much love for sure Mama I wish I could do more You gave me life from yours I appreciate it Mama, mama So I dedicated it Mama, mama [ VERSE 2: Eightball ] I was always into somethin, weed and women 14 years old, hustlin, the street livin Givin all my time triyna be a key figure In the cut gettin blowed with them yam-sellin niggas You always knew I had my hands in some stickiness But I respected you by keepin you out of my business But all things done in the dark come to light And God will never ever forget the night Tears rolled down your cheek and your voice trembled Tellin me the police just left here lookin for you I know you don't want me to be a thug Always askin 'bout my friends, -- sell drugs Rappin wasn't payin a cent then, but you understood Puttin up with all my mess and doin what you could Not to have a nervous breakdown worryin But for all your worryin, this is dedicated [ VERSE 3: Eightball ] Way back before you and long before me Long before CD's and big screen TV's Before Run-D.M.C., before the Bee Gees Before Star Wars and movies turned 3-d Before hip-hop turned into cosmic slop Way before cocained boiled into a crack rock Long before the first victim of a gun got shot Before any superstar ever reached the top Everybody has had or now has Someone that they can call mama I say everybody has had or now has Someone that they can call mama
