Rudey Barnes - No Wonda Lyrics

I was raised in the Nickel
Without a dollar
Only a little
A little hope
A little dream
A little drive


Big Momma taught me
You only need a little love
So take what you need
And not what you want
She would have told you the same thing
But she's gone gone gone


Ain't no wonda
(Wonda)
No wonda
(Wonda)
Why I am the man today
(am the man today)


Ain't no wonda
(Wonda)
No wonda
(Wonda)
I'm just the man that Big Momma raised


Daddy took off in the wind
Was it too cold
For us to go with him
It must have been warmer
For his family on the other side
Must have been


Big Momma kept hot plates on the table
While momma slaved for the man
I know she would have done you the same way
But now she's gone gone gone


Ain't no wonda
(Wonda)
No wonda
(Wonda)
Why I am the man today
(am the man today)


Ain't no wonda
(Wonda)
No wonda
(Wonda)
I'm just the man that Big Momma raised


I could have been a liar
A cheater
A heart breaker
A deceiver
So many of my friends
Didn't make it
But I'm standing here
Because of Big Momma


Now y'all listen here
Back in the day
It was Big Mommas
But now these babies
Is raised by baby mommas
But we still need Big Mommas


Ain't no wonda
No wonda
Why I am the man today
(am the man today)


Ain't no wonda
(Wonda)
No wonda
(Wonda)
I'm just the man that Big Momma raised
(Wonda)
