Written by：Rodney Jerkins/Marvin "Tony" Hemmings/Charles Hilton, Jr./Diarra Wilkerson
Listen mama so many words to describe you
Strong would be an understatement warrior would
Soldier so much better cause you've been fighting
She was just turning 16 daddy left her out in the cold street
He wasn't having it he found all the cents underneath her mattress
Then suddenly her daddy abandoned her but still she sees her father
There in Lucious eyes
Mama oh mama for everything you've been through
There's nothing that I won't do for you
Mama oh mama see you deserve the best of what this world
Can offer to you
Mama I love you mama mama mama I do love you
Mama I love you mama mama
In love with the thought of becoming queen
She never told she did seventeen
She gave it all so one selfish thieve and she did it all just
For loyalty that's my mama
I never knew someone to sacrifice everything for love
Even gave up their whole live
Oh mama for everything you've been through nothing
That I won't do for you
Ooh mama see you deserve the best of what this world
Can offer
Your the reason for my being here mama I'm so grateful
Yes I am I'm gone be the one to guide your heart
Although Lucious raised us you still made us from the
Suuuuuuuuun
Mama oh mama for everything you've been through
There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you
Oh mama see you deserve the best of what this world
Can offer to you
