Momma
Lil Eddie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, yeah, oh no!
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh no!

Walk around my own town,
Feels like I was the child, yesterday!
Yeah! Everything still remains the same,
Guess I'm the only one that's change.
They tell me that I'm not gonna play again,
I guess I'm that one in a million ... a break!

Momma, I made it!
Look, I've been down,
I'm flying, just like you said I would,
Always believe I could make you proud!
Momma I made it!

I kept your voice on replay,
It echoed in my head, constantly.
You told me I could do anything
And every time I feel asleep I see your face.
You said, 'don't you never dare give up'!

I'll die...

Momma, I made it!
Look, I've been down,
I'm flying, just like you said I would,
Always believe I could make you proud!
Momma I made it!

Now the world could see the man that you made me!
I swear to God, you're the strongest woman on this Earth!
Did your best you can!
Hold me up with your two hands,
I go up to find, your love ...

Momma, I made it!
Look, I've been down,
I'm flying, just like you said I would,




Always believe I could make you proud!
Momma I made it!
