Already Done
Moye' I know you lost your momma a few weeks ago
But it's already done
God's got a plan for your life
Granny name you Tanesha
But all your friends call you Nene
Me Danesha Donivan call you Momma
You pulled some tricks out that bottle
You pulled that rabbit out the hat
Hot sweaty days in the summer
World turned cold you had my back
Back to back to back to back
Time and time and time and time again
Somehow you made them ends meet
You use to tell me bout my friends
That they ain't really my friends
Remain pretty through your struggles
No transgender sex change
Still you was daddy and momma
Sometimes I don't even go to church
I just stay at home alone and cry
Then I lift my head to the sky
And ask The Almighty why
January 31st why Tanesha had to die
Did you know that African was a Queen
I ain't even get a chance to say goodbye
You my baby
Always gone be my lady
Driving down this road of life
You ride me like a Mercedes
Yeah I'm missing my baby
Yeah it's driving me crazy
Oohh Lordy come save me
Before the devil come take me
Listen to my Soul Cry
Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Listen to my Soul Cry
Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Listen to my Soul Cry
Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Listen to my Soul Cry
Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
24 years old still call me your baby
No matter who I'm dating
You're forever be my lady
Lately I been missing you like crazy
No glue but stuck together
Plus you're prettier than Mrs. Daisy
We made it
Momma I swear you're so amazing
Hotter than fire
Fire power girl you're blazing
A kid with a kid
You wasn't even half grown
But you did it
Momma you did it
And you did it on your own
First kiss first cry first smile first hug
First born first child first son first love
When you dated I was jealous
Didn't like none of your fellows
Not because I was being bad
But because I was too jealous
I thought rather
It should only be me and you forever
But you've proven not even prison
Can keep us from being together
Cheers momma you was only 39 years
Guess that's why listening to this song
I'm shedding a million tears
You my baby
Always gone be my lady
Driving down this road of life
You ride me like a Mercedes
Yeah I'm missing my baby
Yeah it's driving me crazy
Oohh Lordy come save me
Before the devil come take me
Listen to my Soul Cry
Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Listen to my Soul Cry
Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Listen to my Soul Cry
Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Hold up hold up
All around the world
All around the world
Listen, listen to my soul cry
If you love your momma
Hug your momma
Look her dead in the eye
And tell her
Tell her you love her
I love you momma
