If it wasn't for that bitch
Always it's something, something, something goin' on
Doesn't mean that they ain't workin' you
Down the block always in yo' ear
It's that she's run this
When you're trying to do your thing
If it wasn't for yo' momma
Never thinkin' I was good enough
Be no room for messin' up
Watch your step or pay the price, sacrifice
If it wasn't for yo' brotha
I'd been lying too, if I said to you
Gotta learn to keep your family out the game
Just 'cause momma fed you right all your life
Down the block always in yo' ear
Be no room for messin' up
Always checkin' every move, I gave up
If it wasn't for yo' brotha
That's your momma and I can't take it, no more
But baby love, you'd be right here
So when it hurts, it really hurts
Don't mean she walk on a perfect line
You know them be the main 'cause
Down the block always in yo' ear
Down the block always in yo' ear
But baby love, you'd be right here
I gets no joy but when I hurt
Sugar why must I prove to anybody but you
If it wasn't for that bitch
That they're pressuring me away from you
If it wasn't for yo' momma
Always checkin' every move, I gave up
If it wasn't for yo' brotha
If it wasn't for yo' momma
Suffer indefinitely for loving you
But baby love, you'd be right here
Feel I been chosen to loose, I paid my dues, oh
Always checkin' every move, I gave up
They got more that's due
Never thinkin' I was good enough
Never thinkin' I was good enough
Mothers, sisters, fathers, brothers
Always checkin' every move, I gave up
If it wasn't for yo' brotha
Got my heart on some numbness
Be no room for messin' up
If it wasn't for that bitch
Tell me why must I, since they bought us things
Cousin's, aunts and uncles too
Got us fighting over dumbness
Just because we know them
If it wasn't for that bitch
Be no room for messin' up
