{1} - If it wasn't for yo' momma    Never thinkin' I was good enough   If it wasn't for yo' brotha    Always checkin' every move I gave up   If it wasn't for that bitch    Down the block always in yo' ear   Be no room for messin' up   But baby love, you'd be right here      Tell me why must I, since they bought us things   Suffer indefinitely for loving you   Sugar why must I prove to anybody but you   Feel I been chosen to loose   I paid my dues, oh      {Repeat 1}      I'd been lying too, if I said to you   That they're pressuring me away from you   It's that she's run this   Got us fighting over dumbness   Got my heart on some numbness   That's your momma and I can't take it (no more)   I gets no joy but when I hurt   So when it hurts, it really hurts      {Repeat 1}      Gotta learn to keep your family out the game   When you're trying to do your thing   They got more that's due   Just cuz momma fed you right all your life   Don't mean she walk on a perfect line   Watch your step, or pay the price, sacrifice      Mothers sisters fathers brothers   cousin's aunts and uncles too   You know them be the main cause   Just because we know them    Doesn't mean that they ain't workin' you   Always it's something something something goin' on       {Repeat 1}
