Woorden: Z-Ro. Auntie And Grandma.

special shouts out goes to
my aunt Sandie and my grandmama Dorothy
My two favorite girls
you dig these blues?

Verse 1
comin up as a juvenile, 1983
had no idea the lord would take my mom away from me
cold part about it i was only 6 when she died
aunt Sandie and grandma Dorothy wiped the tears from my eye
ever since i could remember they been guardian angels
whenever life started choking me they would loosen up the strangle
wish i had a million dollars, i would hand it over
so i can see my auntie in a Bentley and my grams in a range rover
who said two women couldn't raise a man?
they did everything accept put a pistol inside my hand
taught me when to fight and taught me when to walk away
the main reason why im not outlined in chalk today
so many problems in my life im glad they never left me lonely
much more than my auntie and my grandmama, ya'll my homies
and can't nobody ever take the place of my momma
but raisin me was hard so i thank god for my...

Chorus
Auntie and grandmama
when i thought i wouldn't make it they...
brought me through the drama
i don't know what i would do without...
auntie and grandmama
when i thought i wouldn't make it they...
brought me through the drama

Verse 2
Daddy was around but he stayed gone
even when he was at home he never stayed long
he was in the street, so i raised myself
without his guidance i fell off and almost played myself
i got put out the house and started livin like a hobo
contemplated suicide but grandma said that was a no-no
then auntie came and picked me up and gave me some bread
they gave me life when everybody else had left me for dead
i was in jail sometimes, but they know im not a crook
so they kept letters comin daily and kept money on my books
i thank the lord for 'em, can't nobody take they places
i just wanna make 'em happy, keep a smile on they faces
they deserve the world, the universe and the galaxy
for stayin by my side throughout my hard times and tragedies
can't nobody ever take the place of my momma
but raisin me was hard, so i thank god for my ...

Chorus

Verse 3
Even though i got love for all my family members
only my two favorite girls show me love from december to december
so im showin love back, its the least i can do
for being my parents and seein me through
we always had a lotta love in that household
didn't have a lot of food but i never had to keep my mouth closed
always had somethin hot on my plate
a lotta times i was full before my people even ate
aunt sandra and grandma dorothy ya'll my blood for life
appreciate the way you made sure the word of god touched me right
cause imma god fearin man till im in my grave
tryin to make it to heaven wit ya'll, no more sinnin days
if i had 3 wishes to make i would give 'em to ya'll
because without ya love i wouldn't be livin at all
can't nobody take the place of my momma
but raisin me was hard, so i thank god for my ...
