Bottome Of My Heart
Lupe Fiasco Lyrics

When you got popped up and you got locked up
When you got arrested and put in jail

And the block shot up and your girl knocked up
And people start shooting and your girlfriend gets pregnant

And your kids be like, "Who gonna watch us?"
And your children ask who will take care of them

Your mama, they Nana
Your mother, or their grandmother

When you ball too hard or your money got spent
When you spend too much money and cannot pay your bills

So you got kicked out, you ain't have no rent
So you got evicted because you couldn't pay rent

But you still had a place where you could go
But you could still go to your mother's house

Tell me where you went, your mama
Your mother's house

Soon as they let me outta jail
As soon as they released me from jail

Went straight to my mama's house
I went directly to my mother's home

Need someone I can talk to
I needed someone to talk to

And a little more time to work all these dramas out
And some time to resolve my issues

That lawyer money, that bail money
The money I paid for a lawyer, the money I paid for bail

Those letters in the mail never fail you, homie
Those letters in the mail support you, friend

Who visit when niggas don't visit?
Who comes and visits you when your friends do not?

Man she the realest
My mother is the most genuine person

Boy let me tell you somethin' you better love your mama
Let me advise you to love your mother

Said I love my mama (I love my mama)
I say that I love my mother

More than I love myself (more than I love myself)
More than I love myself

And I love my health and I love my wealth
I also love my health and wealth

And I love my niggas and I love my bitches
I love my friends and acquaintances

And I love my car
I love my car

More than I love my heart
More than I love myself

Now some mamas might be your confidant
Some mothers might be your trusted friend

Some mamas just good for shoes
Some mothers might just buy you new shoes

Some mamas might be your drinkin' buddy
Some mothers might drink with you

Some mamas might not be cool
Some mothers might not be friendly

Some mamas might wait 'til you get home
Some mothers might wait until you go home

Some mamas might come up to your school
Some mothers might come to your school

And fuck you up in front of your friends
And embarrass you in front of your friends

'Cause you don't make the rules
Because you do not make the rules

Really thought that you was doin' it today
You thought you were doing well

Now you sittin' there lookin' all stupid in your face
Now you look foolish

When you get home just tell her you're sorry
When you get home, apologize to her

And put on this song, start movin' to the bass
And listen to this song and start moving to the music

Boy cut that shit off
Stop playing that song

Goddamn, mama, they made this song for you
Wow, mama, this song is about you

Said through the party and the problems
Through all the good and the bad times

Gotta honor my mama
I must show respect to my mother

So that's what I'm tryna do
That is what I am attempting to accomplish

Now some might think their mama ain't perfect
Some people might believe that their mother is not flawless

She is
However, she is

All in her face, better get in your place
Respect her and stay in line

You're one of her goddamn kids
Remember that you are one of her children

Now some might think their mama ain't worth it
Some people might think that their mother is not worth their time

She is
However, she still is worth it

Gotta help her out no matter what it's 'bout
You must assist her, regardless of the situation

No matter whatever she did
Regardless of what she may have done

Now some might think their mama ain't here
Some people might think that their mother is no longer with them

She lives
However, she is still alive in their memories

She lives
She continues living on in their hearts

She lives
She remains present and significant in their lives

She lives
Her memory endures and has an undeniable impact

She lives
Her legacy carries on through her children

She lives
Her spirit remains with her loved ones forever

Said I love my mama (I love my mama)
I emphasize that I love my mother

More than I love myself (more than I love myself)
More than I love myself

And I love my health and I love my wealth
I prioritize my health and wealth, but my love for my mother exceeds them

And I love my niggas and I love my bitches
I have love for my friends and acquaintances, but still love my mother more

And I love my car
I have affection for my vehicle

More than I love my heart
But my love for my mother surpasses all other loves
