Lyrics
, momma i made it, ya'll know how i do when the doc do it, i fly thru it, that's how i operated, momma i made it, ghetto like the grease when you getting your hair braided, sweeter than your sister kool aid is, hooray is the underdog, now my feet under desk, it's the presidential favorite, can't believe i got away with my earlier stages, being on stages, having my way with, congratulations, ya baby boy's a made man, i'm a hold the fam down at least 3 generations, i'm talking when spaceships are around, and ya great, great grands, reminiscing about foundation you gave 'em, for repairing my relationship with my pops before he passed, all i ask is you raise your glass for this celebration, toast to the most beautiful girl in the world, my inspiration, thanks for your information, momma i made it, i'm in bk where, it ain't everyday that you make it out, to be on top of yachts waving, i remember you saving for the light bill, paid the rent with a light bill, now my crib dark as a basement, and you'd lock up the when you wasn't home, we was communicating like the money you made wasn't basic, our cable was basic, no hbo, no wht, just ralph mcdaniels on the station, i aggravated you for atari and coleco vision, pinstripe lee's when the first day day of school came, i was ok with not having everything as long as saturdays, you had the commodores playing, the expression on your face was priceless, it's still with me till this day, baby girl i won't erase it, i go to my grave with the memory of the sacrifice you made, you deserve a standing ovation, momma i made it, now your lil misfit makes sure every day is christmas, write down your wish list, sixes, wrist is glistening, you don't even like jewels, but you can missing anywhere you like to, where the water's light tube, anything you order, sign it to your nice room, leave an extra tip ma, be extra nice to 'em, ceo carter foundation, wow i know pop's looking down, i know colleek somewhere up in the clouds, like go get 'em grandma, make me proud, didn't have a man in the house so you made one, so i act like ya husband and i'm only ya son, i told you one day i'll get you a home, but i didn't know it would possibly be in rome, she told me don't wait on nobody, get your own, so with me myself & my microphone i made it, momma i made it. momma i made it.
