1st Verse: Your pain and struggle Has brought me in this world You worked endless hours Just to give my back a shirt Words cannot express the love I feel inside You're the pillar of my life The reason why I give this world a try And I just wanna say Chorus: Thank you mama For the pain that you dred The tears that you shed for me Thank you mama You'll be queen of my life Until the day that I die Your the best thing That ever happened to me 2nd Verse: You always told me To put God first in my life And always remain humble No matter how high the tide There's no way to pay back all of your love How you gave it all to me And taught how to pray down on my knees That's why I say (Back to chorus) Bridge: I wish you could live, forever and ever And anything you want I want to be your provider Oh mama I want the best for you, My mama you know I love you (Back to chorus)
