It was Summer 17 & I was jus a teen
The first time I made my mom proud man she screamed
Walked across that stage man she gave me the praise
Seen her in the crowd I jus smiled and waved
If you always told me sum you said stay in school
I'm always on my grind I jus get it from you
Mom I really really love you I swear I won't change
You did everything for me ima buy you a range
No more living in the struggle we ain't gotta do it
Was hustling everyday but now I'm making music
Put a smile on ya face I wish I can do it
Now days it's no love what happened to it
You was right by my side when I rode my first bike
Teacher talking crazy you was there on sight
I can always count on you . You was there every time
Caught my first case you was still down to ride
Loyalty for life I'll never cross you up
You put me in this world so I gotta run it up
Taught me if ever want it then put my mind to it
Never give up be patient its okay to cry through it
My number 1 fan you was there every game
Told me man up & never give out the blame
Momma this for you I can't wait to get rich
Cause we got it from the mud & we ain't ask for shit
It was Summer 17 & I was jus a teen
The first time I made my mom proud man she screamed
Walked across that stage man she gave me the praise
Seen her in the crowd I jus smiled and waved
If you always told me sum you said stay in school
I'm always on my grind I jus get it from you
Mom I really really love you I swear I won't change
You did everything for me ima buy you a range
Can't pay the bills damn we ain't got a single light
Went through the struggle & ya smile was still bright
Gave me hope through the worst ya love got me through it
The martin Luther king speech was a big influence
If I got a dream then you got a dream
If I'm winning then we all getting green
Never turn ya back on the people that you really love
Got sum special woman in my life cause they go above
Michelle, the Ashley's & can't forget my Jada
I'll give you anything cause y'all make me greater
Y'all the reason why I'm still alive I can't go without
And f*ck all the haters that was trn count me out
It was Summer 17 & I was jus a teen
The first time I made my mom proud man she screamed
Walked across that stage man she gave me the praise
Seen her in the crowd I jus smiled and waved
If you always told me sum you said stay in school
I'm always on my grind I jus get it from you
Mom I really really love you I swear I won't change
You did everything for me ima buy you a range
