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
