This goes out to all of the mothers here in the world.
Oooh
(We love you. Te quiero.)
You know we had to do it for our mama mama. Tenias que hacerlo por mi mama mama (Oh) You know I'm going through it for my momma momma. Sabes que voy hacerlo por mi mama (Oh)
Twelve hours on her feet And she worked like a slave She didn't make a lot of money But the bills got paid Every day she dealt with pain And I've never seen her cry And no matter how much it hurt It was her only way to survive
And I'll never forget (I'mma never, I'mma never forget) What you've done for me (What you've done for me) And I'll do my best (And I'll do my best) To make you proud of me (To make you proud of me)
[Chorus] She said: Girl I just want you to have A better life than me She said: Get a good job So you can raise a family (That's right) She said: I'm not the kind of people You look up to But I don't think you understand... I want to be just like you.
Damn Yeah I remember laying in the bed, ma I remember everything you said Putting alcolado on my head Cantando titinorma En la sala bailando Ma you knew it, That's why you always played music My momma used to say: My little man's going to do it She said: Don't be a liar Spit that fire My ma's a rider, She a cancer survivor.
I can never figure out How we made it through She did it by herself And had no one to come home to Still she lived her life And prayed at night To make it through another day And even when I saw The pain in her eyes She tells me everything's OK
And I'll never forget (Never) What you've done for me And I'll do my best (I'mma do my best) To make you proud of me (To make you proud of me)
[Chorus] She said: Girl I just want you to have A better life than me She said: Get a good job So you can raise a family She said: I'm not the kind of people You look up to (Praise you mom) But I don't think you understand... I want to be just like you.
Oh Everything you taught to me (Oh) I live by faithfully (Oh) You would be so proud to see (The woman I've become) (Oh) And I'm going to get back to you (Oh) 'Cause that's what I want to do (Oh) Momma I love you (Maybe more than enough) (Oh)
Yeah Mami me dijo: (She told me) Busca el buen camino, mi hijo (My son) Dijo: En tus manos es donde esta tu destino (The world is in your hands) Dijo: Si estas cansado piensa En lo que sufrimos Para estar donde estamos Piensa en lo que vivimos ___ de la tierra Los pies no dejes que la fama Success te posees Tu eres un hijo De que hables Entrega siempre tu best En todo lo que haces Confia en lo que tu crees Y ___
[Chorus] And She said: Girl I just want you to have A better life than me She said: Get a good job So you can raise a family She said: I'm not the kind of people You look up to But I don't think you understand... I want to be just like you.
