Tell me, what would I do without you?
Made sure we had somethin' to eat, last one to eatin'
Momma made sure the rent was there
Ain't no woman like my momma
(Ain't no woman like my momma)
I thank God, for keeping you strong, but you keep me strong
You did so much for me then, I'll do the same for you in time
Sharin' liquor with the homies, reminiscin' 'bout the old days
Trying to accept the fact but I was too young to understand
Even when the bills was due, you found a way to come through
(Ain't no woman like my momma)
Tell me, what would I do without you?
And even though, I never had a daddy
I couldn't imagine gettin' this far, without you
Tell me what would I do without you?
When I was sick, you came, got me from school
Who gon' fix the grits and eggs and smoked sausage
Ain't no woman like my momma
(Ain't no woman like my momma)
And even though times were hard
Forget the other shit
Tell me, what would I do without you?
(Ain't no woman like my momma)
And even though, I live the street life
I was seven years old, when I lost dad
But you never let it show
Things'd be different, if momma wasn't home
Tell me, what would I do without you?
(Ain't no woman like my momma)
Ain't no woman like my momma
It feel good to see momma on top
Momma, life ain't cool
Momma, life ain't cool
Who took care of us, did everything for us?
Ain't no woman like my momma
Discipline me, when I need a stain whip on my ass
Momma, life ain't cool
And we couldn't fold name brands
(Ain't no woman like my momma)
That had me happy on my birthday and merry at Christmas?
Gettin' older now, soon have to, let us go
To see her little man, when he was locked down
Make ends meet while in the grocery stores?
Momma, life ain't cool
Ain't no woman like my momma
You was side by side when I was sick
Who's the single parent to me and my big sister
We was yours, she was ours
Teach me and love me and raise me and watch me
(Ain't no woman like my momma)
(Ain't no woman like my momma)
Tell me, what would I do without you?
Momma, life ain't cool
Who was still sweet when everything went sour?
Cookin' dinner in your kitchen, listenin' to the bar kays
Momma prayin' for her baby, hope he get his mind right
So wherever you at, I hope you doin' fine
And momma even rode the Greyhound
And I only get one of you so I cherish the times
Ain't no woman like my momma
You was the first one up, but you was the last one sleepin'
But momma kept her kids neat, that's why we understand
(Ain't no woman like my momma)
Who gon' take the slack and carry the load?
Stood by and didn't leave, just because
Couldn't live our life for us so, let us know
(Ain't no woman like my momma)
(Ain't no woman like my momma)
When I got suspended, momma, you taught me the rules
(Oh, I love my momma)
Ain't no woman like my momma
Momma, life ain't cool
Meant to me so I wrote that line
(Ain't no woman like my momma)
(Ain't no woman like my momma)
Who gon' lift my spirits when I get sad?
(Ain't no woman like my momma)
Ain't no woman like my momma
I told you, if I make it momma, you won't be forgot
Didn't know how to tell you how much you
(Ain't no woman like my momma)
Momma, life ain't cool
We was goin' through some things, momma
Tell me what would I do without you?
Tell me, what would I do without you?
(Ain't no woman like my momma)
We had each other me and my sisters and brothers
Momma, life ain't cool
Tell me, what would I do without you?
Wanted to tell us, but you had to just, let us grow
Momma, life ain't cool
(Ain't no woman like my momma)
Early in the morning, cooking eggs and grits
A single parent on welfare
(Ain't no woman like my momma)
Momma took me where I need to go in a old school caddy
Momma, life ain't cool
Even though we didn't have money, we seemed rich
