Fresh Air For My Mama
So say one and so say all
Say what you gotta say
Or dont say nothing at all
You been tossin and turnin through soft sticky nights
While the bronx below you fights to stay alive
So say one and so say all
Be what you gotta be
Or dont be nothing at all
Be gracious to your mother
When you leave this neighbourhood
The change is going to do her good
Next to me you look bad
'cos there aint no fresh air for my momma, my momma
But the drop is shear
When you break away
Take me away
Its just about time to hit the road
And say
You gotta believe in something
Its easy to see
My God is fading away
So pick up your Bible and pray for me
Were all alone in the darkness
But our eyes are wide open
We dont see nothing
And our hands are tied
To the railings of the bowery
And the humid city slickers
So say one and so say all
We had a lot to say
And we said it all
The cost of living in dreams
Is rising like a crime wave
The american way of dying
And it gets you every time
And it looks like its got to my momma
My momma
May she rest in peace

Fresh Air For My Momma

Momma
Words and music by bob seger
I was the baby brother,
I was the quiet other,
And I remember mother so well.
I was the little stranger,
I never was in danger,
I could a had a manger, pray tell.
Oh, how she could control me,
When I was bad shed scold me,
Sometimes she wouldnt hold me,
And Id cry.
But momma she never told me a lie -
Momma she never told me a lie.
I used to stay out evenings,
Stay out too late some evenings,
And momma would be there seething,
Back home.
Momma, she sat and waited,
Sat in the hall and waited,
Now I know why she hated
That phone.
And when Id come in shed grab me,
Right by the arm shed grab me,
Lord, when she was finished with me,
Id cry ... oh, Id cry.
But momma she never told me a lie.
Momma she never told me a lie.
Momma she could control me,
And when I was bad shed scold me,
Sometimes she wouldnt hold me,
And Id cry.
Momma she never told me a lie.
Momma she never promised me the sky.
Momma she never told me a lie.

Momma do you remember
Momma do you remember the day I was born
late in December when winter
takes away the warm
Momma do you remember
Momma do you remember
Momma do you remember when I was in my teens
with long curly hair
and bell bottom jeans
Momma do you remember
Momma do you remember
Momma it wasn't long ago
you where working in your yard
planting fresh flowers
you use to work so hard
now you can't make your flowers grow
OH no Oh no
Momma do you remember
Momma do you remember the day I was wed
let no man put asunder
is what the preacher said
Momma do you remember
Momma do you remember
Momma do you remember my one and only son
born one day after your birthday
that's when his life begun
Momma do you remember
Momma do you remember
Momma do you remember, Me?
I wrote this about a year before my Mom died of Alzheimer's
wondering I guess what might jog her memory when she forgot me
thinking if I reminded her of important things in my life that are considered mile stones of my life.
My Mom passed in July 2011 not knowing me.

Sweet Sugar Momma
I went down baby ? ? ?
Sittin in the shade with my lady
? ? ? left the bus
So lets not discuss
I never never never liked a girl that much
But shes so fine
Oh momma all the time
I seen the sister in the moon
And now shes in my room
Well, shes my sister and my lover
And my friend and my momma
Well late at night, late at night
Dont you just feel alright
Well, sweet sugar momma I ? ? ?
Sweet sugar momma I ? ? ?
I got you girl oh momma ? ? ?
Youre so sweet oh you so fine
I got you girl oh momma
Well I see you in the morning
The color of my rising sky
And I said well you smell ? ? ?
Like some flowers in the springtime
Well rolling down hills
Climb a mountain
Cross a ocean
Well hand to hand together
Oh together we stand
Well, sweet sugar momma

Sweet sugar momma

Tell Me, Momma
0l black bascom, dont break no mirrors
Cold black water dog, make no tears
You say you love me with what may be love
Dont you remember makin baby love?
Got your steam drill built and youre lookin for some kid
To get it to work for you like your nine-pound hammer did
But I know that you know that I know that you show
Something is tearing up your mind.
Tell me, momma,
Tell me, momma,
Tell me, momma, what is it?
Whats wrong with you this time?
Hey, john, come and get me some candy goods
Shucks, it sure feels like its in the woods
Spend some time on your january trips
You got tombstone moose up and your brave-yard whips
If youre anxious to find out when your friendships gonna end
Come on, baby, Im your friend!
And I know that you know that I know that you show
Something is tearing up your mind.
Tell me, momma,
Tell me, momma,
Tell me, momma, what is it?
Whats wrong with you this time?
Ohh, we bone the editor, cant get read
But his painted sled, instead its a bed
Yes, I see you on your window ledge
But I cant tell just how far away you are from the edge
And, anyway, youre just gonna make people jump and roar
Whatcha wanna go and do that for?
For I know that you know that I know that you know
Something is tearing up your mind.
Ah, tell me, momma,
Tell me, momma,
Tell me, momma, what is it?
Whats wrong with you this time?

Three Strikes
First time I let you back inside
Everybody gets another chance
Second time my momma replied
Said you gotta let him be a man
And third time Ive had it with your lying
Cause sorry wouldnt work again
So I said three strikes
Youre out, no more, keep on
Get gone keep walking out my door
Packed your bags while you were gone
Theyll be waiting for you on the lawn
Changed the locks so keep your key
We dont need to talk
So no apologizes
I dont wanna feel
Like Im going through time and time again
If Im loving you
So just walk away leave me alone
This is for the best, so Im moving on
One, two, three, four
You were messin round
Were never really sure and
Four, three, two, one
You thought it was game
And you could have some fun
One, two, three, four
Said I wont be a fool
Wont let you back in my door
Four, three, two, one
Cause playtime is over
Youre through, Im done
First time I let you back inside
Everybody gets another chance
Second time my momma replied
Said you gotta let him be a man
And third time Ive had it with your lying
So sorry wouldnt work again
So I said three strikes
Youre out, no more, keep on
Get gone keep walking out my door
Had me fooled loving you
Had me thinking bout spending life with you
So locked up in your tricky ways
Only thoughts of you had me in a daze
Then reality came and gave to me
What I needed most that was eyes to see
You would never change
Everything was game
Counting all the times really blows my mind
One, two, three, four
Hmm you were messin round
Were never really sure and
Four, three, two, one
You thought that it was game
And you could have some fun
One, two, three, four
I wont be a fooled
And wont let you in my door
Four, three, two, one
Cause playtime is over
Youre through, Im done
First time I let you back inside
Everybody gets another chance
Second time my momma replied
Said you gotta let him be a man
And third time Ive had it with your lying
Cause sorry wouldnt work again
So I said three strikes
Youre out no more, keep on
Get gone keep walking out my door
I hoped, I prayed you would come around
See it my way
Now its too late
No chances, go away, go away, hey first time...
First time I let you back inside
Everybody gets another chance
Second time my momma replied
Said you gotta let him be a man
And third time Ive had it with your lying
Cause sorry wouldnt work again
So I said three strikes
Youre out no more, youre gone
Get gone keep walking out my door

My Momma
Yo I wanna take this time out to dedicate this song
To one of the most beautiful ladies in the world
Could never imagine
Yeah, ole mae, thats my momma, yknow
To one of the most beautifulest ladies in the world
I love ya momma, keep it strong for ya
Chorus: repeat 2x
My momma, used to tell me quit smoking weed
My momma, gave me everthing I need
My momma, said keep faith in god
My momma, momma, momma, momma, momma
[warren g]
From the beginning, soon as my feet touched the earth
For what its worth, she loved the boy from birth
Kept me fed, combed my head
And tapped that tail when I didnt do what she said
Through the years comin up momma always provided
And when the times got rough momma always tried to hide it
Divide it among us, but pardon the youngsters
Told us never to lie, smoke dope, and cuss
She stood tall and proud like a supermodel on a catwalk
And momma didnt take no back talk
Shes the main reason why I roll today
Thats why I dedicate this to ole mae
Thats my momma
Chorus
[warren g]
As a young teenager I started to clown
My momma did all she could to try to slow me down
Tired of her son be brought by the cops
Sent to go stay with my pops
He taught me to be my own man, and when I disrespected
He put me out on the streets to find my own land
Now Im servin on the urban street corner
Smokin bud, sippin coronas in long beach, california
But I promised my momma I would make it to the top
And use this rap to put her in the drop
She the main reason why I roll today
Thats why I dedicate this here to my ole mae
Chorus
[warren g]
As I grew up, blew up in the g-funk era
I see my momma everytime I take a look in the mirror
Im thankful she gotta chance to see me shine
My mommas in my heart and my soul and mind
Controllin mine, so I can stand strong
For ya grandkids to let em know that ya spirit lives on
I really miss you, but I know ya looking over
Lead me on the right track, the angels on my shoulder
Chorus
[warren g]
So I want yall to treasure ya mom
Ya know, so if yall got a bad relationship
Or yall on bad terms, patch it up
Aint nothing wrong with that
Thats a precious jew-el
Remember that, we all gotta go through it
So stay strong, down dis, dis road, ya know
But I cant forget about all the poeple
Out there that I love, and got my back
So Im gonna go ahead and Im gonna shoot a shout out
My daddy, my sistas, my brothers, my girl, my kids
My cousins, my aunties, my uncles, my grandmomma
My granddaddy, all my homeboys, all my homegirls
And everybody out there that got love, knowwhatimsaying?
We gotta keep it like that, we gotta keep it groovin

Dont wanna be a drag, everybody gotta bag
I know you know, bout the emperors clothes
You dont know what you got, until you lose it
You dont know what you got, until you lose it
You dont know what you got, until you lose it

Come monday momma and I just gotta run away
You know its such a drag to face another day

Momma I wont to come home
Momma you told me it was not nothing out there
Momma I wont to come home
I, m sitting here on the corner with this can in my hand thinking about

God Bless The Child
(b. holiday/a. herzog, jr.)
Them thats God shall get
Them thats not shall lose
So the Bible says
And it still is news
Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
Thats got his own
Thats got his own
Yeah, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets dont
Ever make the grade
Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
Thats got his own
Thats got his own
Money, youve got lots of friends
Crowdin round the door
When its gone and
Spendin ends
They dont come no more
Rich realations give
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But dont take too much
Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
Thats got his own
Thats got his own

Mother or Momma
A mother gives birth, but a momma raises a child.
A mother brags on how smart her child is.
A momma teaches a child how to live.
A mother gives her child a way.
A momma sets her child free.
A mother tells her child she loves him or her.
A momma shows her child that he or she is loved.
Now that you know the difference which one are you; a mother or a momma?
Night Of The Living Dead
Before I lay my head I say my prayers
My future starts when I see the first light of day
When I woke up today, I didnt really feel ok
I wasnt myself, I couldnt be no one else
Night of the living dead, thats what my momma said
Thats what she said, dont let them in your head
If you want to hang around
Please dont you bring me down
A zombie will steal your soul
Dont let them take control
Control, control, control
Night of the living dead, thats what my momma said
Thats what she said, dont let them in your head
Do you know who you are?
I know who I am
Dont know where Im going
But I can tell you where Ive been
Where I am right now
Is where I want to be
Nothing you can do or say
Can take me away from me
Night of the living dead, thats what my momma said
Thats what she said, dont let them in your head

Now I'm almost eight, as you can see
You came home a quarter past eleven
And fell down underneath

Modern Man Blues
Im tired lord and Im drawn
And Im chilled right to the bone
I crawled home from my work
And this note said she was gone
Said your dinners in the cat
And your love is out the door
Im goin back to my momma
And I dont want you no more, no more
She said she dont want me no more
Shes gone back to her momma
Said shes never never comin back no more
Now a man can take so much
And only heaven knows his limit
But a naggin bitchin woman
Digs a hole and puts him in it
A sophisticated man
Needs a little something on the side
So what you dont get at home
Youve gotta get outside, hey
Shes gone
Im spending all of my money
Shes gone, gone, gone
And I can swing with my honey
Shes gone
Im so glad my womans gone
Now time goes marching on
And it wont wait for you
Youve gotta take it when its offered
And get it when its due
Now a man can move much faster
Without a millstone around his neck
So if you get the chance to lose it
Youve gotta drop it and run like heck, hey
Shes gone
Im spending all of my money
Shes gone, gone, gone
And I can swing with my honey
Shes gone
Im so glad my womans gone
Shes gone
Im spending all of my money
Shes gone, gone, gone
And I can swing with my honey
Shes gone
Im so glad my womans gone

Down by the river
Down by the river we did go
hand in hand in a lovers
hold
Momma and daddy said
this is a love that can not grow
and he must go
But momma an daddy i love him so.
you stay with him then you must go
. don't make
me chose for i love you too
Down by the river we did go hand
in hand in a lovers hold
Momma and daddy you dont know,
His love for me is pure as gold
Theres something you two
must know.
Down by the river we did go hand
in hand in a lover hold
Raining so hard we could hardly see
We slow danced by the rivers edge
He said no other could love you like i
Then i slipped an fell and the river
took me away
I fought the river but the river won
Then a bright light shined
Saw an angel reaching for me
Momma an daddy you dont know
When my eyes open this is what i seen
.Had been pulled
from river laid me upon the shore
Blanket of white feathers were
keeping me warm
As he stood with tear filled eyes
A bright light shine
And upond his back were angel wings
.He said
God sent me here to love you
Momma and daddy you dont know.
My choice is with him now i go
For oneday i'll have my own angel wings
And will never let him go.
Momma and daddy you dont know
Down
by the river we did go hand in hand
in a lovers hold
down by the river
we did go
