Mama (Feat. Betty Wright) Lyrics


Mama, can you hear me?
Mama
Mama, can you hear me?
Mama, can you hear me?
Oh oh
Mama, can you hear me?
Mama
Mama, can you hear me?
Mama, can you hear me?
Oh oh ohMay eleven special, I was born in God's favor
Mama gave birth in tears through that hard labor
I just wanna thank you, ain't no way I could repay you
Strongest woman that I know, you've been my motivator
And just know I'll be everything that you said I would
Only focus is hoping that all my family good
A lot of ups and downs, a lot of hard times
A lot of cloudy days, prayin' for that sun to shine
I was hard headed, granddaddy diabetic

Lord bless her soul, granny kept the food ready
Five kids, three jobs, how you ever did it?
Tryna make a livin, hustle got me reminiscin'
Daddy chose lust over all us
Tell me what's the type of man who never kept in touch
How do you feel? Mama showed me the real
Can't recover them years, too much emotion to feel
We was covered in bills, mama takin' them pills
Got er stressin' for days, then why the fuck ain't you here
It's why I love her to death
She was there when they left
Prayin' for me every day, Lord honor my steps
I hope you hear my Lord, if yo mama's around
Gotta cherish the love, gotta savor the smile
Never want for nothing, gotta keep it 100
You are the epitome of a strong black woman,
You hear me?Mama, can you hear me?
Mama
Mama, can you hear me?
Mama, can you hear me?
Oh
Mama, can you hear me?
Mama
Mama, can you hear me?
Mama, can you hear me?
Hear me? Hear me? Hear me? Hear me?Dear mama I just wanna say I love you
And if you left today I don't know what I'd ever do
Sayin this boy ain't nothing like yo mama
Through the road blocks, fake friends and the drama
Mo girlfriends and a chick named karma
Real eyes realize I could call on her
Any time of day, any time of night
Been there from the start up on this journey called life
Now I'm twenty four and grown, tourin' doin' shows
Thankful for it all, know it's been a bumpy road
As I'm starin at my Rollie, started reminiscin'
Boy my bad ass, used to run from all them woopings
But I understand, made me a better man
You hear me mama told you would never want again
I put my pain on the beat, and fed it all to the streets
I'm a believer in me and now we livin' the dream
Oh Lord, a black boy up outta Deerfield
Who'da thought that I'd be countin' up a couple mill?
All on TV and on magazines with label deals
Talkin bout the struggle, start to give a nigga chills
God and some prayers, people still hate
Wasn't for my mama, don't know where I'd be today
Lord have mercy
Don't know where I'd be todayAin't no love like mama's love
Mama, can you hear me?
Ain't no love like mama's love
Ain't no love like mama's love
Mama, can you hear me?
Like mama's love
Ain't no love like mama's love
Mama, can you hear me?
I hear you baby
Son, see no matter how bad, no matter how sad
No matter how mad
Son I'm just a phone call awayWhen all your friends
all your false friends are gone
You know mama's gonna stay
And stay and stay and stay 'cause I'm mama
Yea, that's how we do
That's how we doAin't no love like mama's love
Mama, can you hear me?
Ain't no love like mama's love
Ain't no love like mama's love
Like mama's love, like mama's loveAin't no love like mama's love
Mama, can you hear me?
Ain't no love like mama's love
Ain't no love like mama's love
Like mama's love, like mama's love
Mama, can you hear me?
I hear you baby
I'm talkin' bout mama
I'm talkin' bout mamaSee when your friends tell you how
They gon' show up and come
And ain't nobody there but god and mama
For your support I know you know about a mama
Oh you can count on mama all day, all night, anyway
Mama
I wanna talk about a mama
You know what I'm talkin' about
Mama, can you hear me?
Mama
Mama, can you hear me?

Antoine McColister (born May 11, 1988 in Port St. Lucie, Florida), better known by his stage name Ace Hood, is an American rapper signed to DJ Khaled's label, We The Best Music. Following a football injury in the tenth grade he began to seriously consider rapping as a career. In 2007, he met DJ Khaled and gave him his demo tape. Khaled asked Ace to rap over the instrumental of I'm So Hood and then decided to sign him. His debut album, Gutta, was released in 2008 and featured appearances from T-Pain, Rick Ross, Akon, Flo Rida and Trey Songz. His second album, Ruthless, was released in June 2009 and debuted at #23 on the Billboard 200.


Florida’s heat has been radiating over hip-hop for many years. From the legendary “Uncle” Luke Campbell, Trick Daddy and Trina to DJ Khaled, Flo Rida, T-Pain, Rick Ross and Plies, the sunshine state has always produced hot music. The next artist to emerge from this sizzling climate is Ace Hood, and with an ace on the top of the deck, he is guaranteed to continue Florida’s heat wave.

“I got the name Ace as a child. My family always thought that I would be the one who would succeed in whatever I did,” he explains. “I feel like I’m an army in myself. I carry my own weight and since I represent for the hood, why not attach that to my name?”

Born Antoine McColister in Broward County, Florida, Ace knew he was destined for greatness. After an injury derailed his burgeoning football career, Ace turned to his true passion, rapping. At the age of 17, Ace teamed up with the Broward-County-based entertainment label, Dollaz & Dealz, to record the hit "M.O.E." ("Money Over Everything") which sparked an immediate buzz in South Florida. Ace began to perform and network which helped him gain exposure like never before. After fine-tuning his craft on local crowds, he set his sights on performing for DJ Khaled at his annual birthday bash.

“We was outside the radio station not even trying to get a deal, just hoping to perform at his birthday bash,” he recalls. “We just figured we’d try and perform. He had a contest going on where you had to give a certain amount of reasons why you should perform at the birthday bash. So I was going to rap for him on camera and show him why I was worthy. Although he had to go to a meeting, he came out, looked at me and said I love his image. We handed him a CD and once we did that he listened to it and called my manager that night. He said I love his swag, I hear starvation in his music and I want to take a meeting with him.”

That meeting turned into Ace becoming the first artist signed to DJ Khaled’s label “We the Best” distributed by Def Jam Records. His hot new single “Cash Flow” featuring T-Pain and Rick Ross is currently blazing the radio waves everywhere. “Once I played the song for Rick Ross he loved it and he put his whole swag to it” explains Khaled. “The song was pretty much done but we felt to make it more of a hit record, get somebody like T-Pain who’s running the game right now, on the hook to make it go that much further.” The song is setting the stage for Ace’s debut album, Gutta, with guest appearances from some of rap’s elite including Trick Daddy, Flo Rida, Akon, Plies and production from Cool & Dre, The Runners, Danjahandz and J.U.S.T.C.E. League, Ace’s deck is definitely stacked.

“This album is definitely gonna be a classic,” Ace says confidently. “People are expecting a lot out of me not only because I’m on Khaled’s label, but because everyone knows that the ace is ranked as the highest.”

With an ace up your sleeve, how can you go wrong?
