You brotha's, y'all forget you got a mama
Got a lady that stick with you through thick and thin
But you dog her
And you ain't been through half the shit she beenYou step in the church
Every morning, six am, up from work
Daddy always kept it real
Taught you how a man supposed to feelNot afraid to cook and clean
Ain't even into the party scene
But no matter what you do
Every man that you meet
Want his cake and eat it tooShe been lied to, cheated on
The victim of every sad song
Her mother and her father
Definition of a perfect daughterBut she can't find a man
Who done been half the things
She done beenIf you out there, raise your hand
Raise your hand, check it outYou like the thought of making love
Occasional kisses and a few hugs
Want a family, raise some kids
Just like your mama and your daddy did, yeahBut every guy you start to dig
Comes with baggage and no gig, yeah
(Got no kind of a job)
Got a baby mama and a lot of bills
You foot the bill but he come and go at willShe been lied to, cheated on
The victim of every sad song
Her mother and her father
Definition of a perfect daughterBut she can't find a man
Who done been half the things
She done beenShe done been
