You the one who made me believe in myself
How you believed in me I'm proud I'm your son
You inspire me more than anything else
So everything I got yeah mom you helped build
Only God knows how I feel about you
I'm not myself when I'm not around you
I miss you so I made a song about you
So this is my way of saying thank you
[Verse 1]
Hey, mom how you doin there, it's your birthday and I'm far away, I really hope you enjoying your day, I hope the gift I got you just wasn't late
I know everything ain't been the same, since I left for college man i miss our place
Now I only see you like once a year, yeah we talk a lot but I need you here
I need to see you like every morning, I need to kiss you like every night
You make me a better person ,and everything without you just isn't right
Yeah I know I made you cry before, and for that I apologize, all i wanted was to make you proud and I, promise to never let you down again, and make you see the success of the man you done raised
I always say I wanna change lifes, you inspired that, you made me who I am today, you changed mine
When you taught not to be a quitter you made me a fighter, I was a fuel of energy and you were the lighter
You sparked it in me and it never went off, so I'm shinning for you

[Verse 2]
Hey mom how you doin there, I just came back from the dentist this the first time that I went alone, I was so scared I needed you so I started listening to your favorite songs
I don't like them but they remind of you, I'd do anything just to be reminded of you, Yeah anything that'll remind me of you
I don't know if you know this but me and my dad once had a talk, he told me "I know you growing and probably out there just looking for love, maybe I don't know much about women boy but here's all I know, if you find a girl who's like your mom you're lucky don't ever let her go
Your mom held me down when I was broke and out, When I was outta job and we needed food she was the man of the house, When I was at my lowest at the hardest times she always stuck around, She showed me what love is I was ignorant till she came in my life, so if you find someone like her boy you better make her your wife"
Yeah I love you and I can't say it enough, I'm so grateful for how you raised me up
I miss you and I miss your hugs, I can't lie mom it's getting tough
I still walk around with your picture in my wallet, I see it every morning every time I need a motive
I wish I could rewind time to appreciate every moment, with you mom I wish I can hold it
And every time I feel weak I just call you, your voice makes me stronger only if you knew
How much I need you I don't think you do, I'm trying to show you how my life is without you
And that I understand everything that you went through, so mom consider this my tribute , I love you
