Plies - Runnin my momma crazy

[00:00.67] Hey, Mama, know I ain't never tell you this before

[00:05.17] But it really hurt me knowin' I'm runnin' you crazy

[00:09.67] I wanna talk to you real quick

[00:13.17] My momma told me while I run these streets she can't sleep

[00:16.42] Her phone ring late at night, she think some'n happened to me

[00:19.43] Her nerves so bad right now she can't even watch TV

[00:22.92] She turn her head every time she see a police

[00:26.41] She scared to look 'cause it might be me in the back seat

[00:29.42] Whenever she hear about a shootin' her heart skip a beat

[00:32.67] She heard the Feds was in the town, her knees got weak

[00:36.17] She know I'm at the house, the only time she at peace

[00:39.42] Her blood pressure through the roof all because of me

[00:42.92] Her favorite words is 'Dope ain't the only way to eat'

[00:46.17] She told me other day she hope I don't die in these streets

[00:49.41] I just pray to God she don't wipe her hands with me

[00:52.67] I'm a goon to the streets but to my momma I'm still her baby

[00:56.17] Raised a street nigga by yourself, you a hell of a lady

[00:59.66] Shit I'm doin' now got nothin' to do with how you raised me

[01:03.17] Shit killin' me to know I'm runnin my momma crazy

[01:05.93] Goon to the streets but to my momma I'm still her baby

[01:09.42] Raised a street nigga by yourself, you a hell of a lady

[01:12.67] Shit I'm doin' now got nothin' to do with how you raised me

[01:16.17] Shit killin? me to know I'm runnin my momma crazy

[01:19.41] Remember the nights me sittin' up in a cold cell

[01:22.67] I'm wakin' you up out of your sleep, it's me callin' you from jail

[01:25.92] You ain't say it but I know inside you mad as hell

[01:29.17] You called off from work just to bond me out of jail

[01:32.42] I get in trouble, I call you, seem like it never fail

[01:35.92] Can hear you now, "Boy, you need to sit your ass down somewhere"

[01:39.17] I come and eat, I take a shower then I'm outta there

[01:42.43] I know I'm stressin' you at times, seem like I don't care

[01:45.92] You wrote bad checks for me to have somethin' to wear

[01:48.92] You risked your freedom for me, nowadays that's real rare

[01:52.42] Every time I think about the shit, I wanna shed a tear

[01:55.68] That's why I buy you some'n for Father's Day every year

[01:58.92] I'm a goon to the streets but to my momma I'm still her baby

[02:02.42] Raised a street nigga by yourself, you a hell of a lady

[02:18.67] Shit I'm doin' now got nothin' to do with how you raised me

[02:22.42] Shit killin? me to know I'm runnin my momma crazy

[02:25.67] You did the best you could with me and I love you for that

[02:28.67] Wanted me to stay in school but that ain't where my heart was at

[02:32.17] I got exposed to the streets and fell in love with stacks

[02:35.42] And all the times I hurt you wish I could take it back

[02:38.68] When Daddy left us you stepped up and took up his slack

[02:41.92] I know I'm selfish and feelin' there's some'n I know I lack

[02:45.42] This shit I'm doin' now I know you raised me better than that

[02:48.67] You taught me how to be a man and showed me how to act

[02:51.92] Sometime I wonder how you still proud I'm your son

[02:55.19] After all the stuff I took you through and all the shit I done

[02:58.68] Well, like you told me when God want me, how I can't run

[03:01.93] Before He take me, want you to know how much I love you, Mom

[03:05.17] I'm a goon to the streets but to my momma I'm still her baby

[03:08.67] Raised a street nigga by yourself, you a hell of a lady

[03:11.91] Shit I'm doin' now got nothin' to do with how you raised me

[03:15.44] Shit killin? me to know I'm runnin my momma crazy

[03:21.68] Raised a street nigga by yourself, you a hell of a lady

[03:24.93] Shit I'm doin' now got nothin' to do with how you raised me

[03:28.68] Shit killin? me to know I'm runnin my momma crazy

[03:31.68] I think I'm speakin' for every street nigga 'round the world

[03:35.45] I don't think we sit down long enough sometime

[03:39.43] Just to realize what we takin' our momma through

[03:43.19] It hurt me to know, dawg, that I'm runnin my momma crazy

[03:51.71] And it really killin' me to know that I'm help killin' my momma
