(I, I wait for the day, a sweet gentle sway
A sweet gentle sway...)

Okay, y'all gettin' on outta here
David, watch out for your lil' brother, and y'all have a good day
Love y'all
Love you too, Mom
(You are now listening to AraabMUZIK)
Somebody tell my mama I made it (C'mon)
Mama I made it (C'mon)
Tell my mama I made it (C'mon, c'mon)
Somebody tell my mama I made it (Oh, uh)

Tell my mama I made it
Copped her a Rollie for the time we never spent (Ma)
She ain't never gotta worry 'bout no rent (Never)
Tell my mama I made it
She used to slap us when we used to try to cuss (Ooh!)
I got sick of seein' you drivin' that bus
Tell my mama I made it (I made it)
She used to have to worry if I'm breathin'
She ain't never gotta worry 'bout us eatin' (Never)
Tell my mama I made it
So proud of her firstborn, I could tell (I know it)
She the only one sent me money in jail (Only one)
Tell my mama I made it

She used to hold me when I used to bang my head at night (Facts)
Ruth's Chris dinners don't taste as good as her eggs and rice (At all)
Couldn't be no punk, you told me early, "Son, you better fight"
Handlebars shaky, I was beggin' you for a better bike
Think it was a Mongoose or one of them BMX shits
Innocent baby pictures, never seen me bein' arrested (Never)
It was nothin' domestic, I can't hit a woman (Uh-uh)
A woman raised me, woman fed me, woman bathed me
Ghetto changed me (Woo!)
Mama raised me strong, won't let 'em slave me (Never)
Thank you for not smokin' crack back in the eighties
I was born healthy (Mmm)
We ain't have too much at all, I wasn't born wealthy
I thank God for keeping me alive (The rest) until my mom's healthy

Tell my mama I made it
Copped her a Rollie for the time we never spent (I love you, Ma)
She ain't never gotta worry 'bout no rent
Tell my mama I made it
She used to slap us when we used to try to cuss
I got sick of seein' you drivin' that bus
Tell my mama I made it (I made it)
She used to have to worry if I'm breathin' (Worry)
She ain't never gotta worry 'bout us eatin'
Tell my mama I made it
So proud of her firstborn, I could tell
She the only one sent me money in jail
Tell my mama I made it

When Freaky died, you told me, "Dave, stop cryin'" (Stop)
Used to be scared to tell the truth, you told me, "Dave, stop lyin'" (Uh)
You put too much inside my heart to hear that Dave stopped tryin'
It gotta be no tires or no gas if Dave not ridin'
You provided, I would ask you for expensive shit, you still would try to buy it
Disrespect my mother, I'ma start a riot
I see you lookin' tired, doin' the laundry
Hope Unc get off that rock, your baby brother been a zombie
I just let this drum blow, remember wakin' up
The whole crib smell like gumbo (Whole crib)
Or rice and beans when I would spend my night with fiends
You'd pray me and my brother just be cool
You just hoped me and my father never argue
Soon as I land, I'ma call you (Uh)

Tell my mama I made it (Ma)
Copped her a Rollie for the time we never spent (Never)
She ain't never gotta worry 'bout no rent (Uh-uh)
Tell my mama I made it
She used to slap us when we used to try to cuss
I got sick of seein' you drivin' that bus
Tell my mama I made it (Mama, I made it)
She used to have to worry if I'm breathin'
She ain't never gotta worry 'bout us eatin'
Tell my mama I made it (Mama, I made it)
So proud of her firstborn, I could tell (I know)
She the only one sent me money in jail
Tell my mama I made it

Front on mama, rather get buried instead (Buried)
Introduced us to eatin' syrup and bread
Just tell my mama I made it (Uh)
I met a lotta people in life, but my mama my favorite
I think I'm lit but she remind me I'm David (Every time)
When I ain't know what I was goin' through in jail, I came home
And took you to Bloomingdale's
Missin' your perfume, thinkin' how you would smell
My mother, my heart, how could you honestly hate it? (How?)
Just wanna let her know, "Yo, Ma, you the greatest"

Tell my mama I made it
Copped her a Rollie for the time we never spent
She ain't never gotta worry 'bout no rent
Tell my mama I made it (Been with me all my life)
She used to slap us when we used to try to cuss
I got sick of seein' you drivin' that bus (So I drove for her, you na'mean?)
Tell my mama I made it
She used to have to worry if I'm breathin' (Mama)
She ain't never gotta worry 'bout us eatin'
Tell my mama I made it (Yeah)
So proud of her firstborn, I could tell (So proud)
She the only one sent me money in jail
Tell my mama I made it (Mama, I made it)

Tell my mama I made it
We're havin' conversations, mom and son, like that
Tell my mama I made it
I did it for her
Tell my mama I made it
Whatever success is in your own mind
Tell my mama I made it, yeah
Yeah, yeah, tell my mama I made it
