Like Mama

Happy Birthday, Mma!

How I love to love
The love that raised a stud.
Mama’s gentle hands gave me a rub
Yeah, her laps were my first tub.
I walked through a valley dug by fear,
Mama was true like a love waiting there,
With arms opened wide she did me bear.
Hushed my sighs and mopped up my baby tear.

Passionate, compassionate, she thrives on it;
My Shelter, my Teacher, my Fair-Weather.
She made me a best-selling story
Ain’t nobody showed me love like mama.

In sickness and in stress mama
Felt my affliction, shared my blues.
Her breasts totally nourished this brother
Ain’t no one could be faithful like mama.
I know the storms still will rant and rave,
Just the thought of her will be my guarantee.
If I can't hold back the rain
Still I'll stand strong just listening to a memory.

Passionate, compassionate, she thrives on it;
My Shelter, my Teacher, my Fair-Weather.
She made me a best-selling story
Ain’t nobody showed me love like mama.

Odds



What do I care about odds?
The skin of my teeth is tougher than husks
Of raisins scorched by summer's sun.
                                   
I set my focus on my locus
That's what decides my status
So, what do I care about 'em odds.
                                   
I'm an ant the size of an elephant,
Agents of change bend to my command,
What d'you think are the odds against me, then?
