Verse 1

Verse 1 You worked those long hours, missed the school bell’s ring, But you gave me the world, taught me how to spread my wings. Karate kicks, track lanes, I was everywhere, And even when you couldn’t be there… you were there. You made sure I could see beyond what we had, Gave me experiences that made my childhood glad. No silver spoon, but you still made a way, You raised me with love that still shines today. Chorus Mama, you’re my compass, you’re my runway, my guide, Showed me the world, and you did it with pride. And your fashion stays ahead, you’ve always been that queen, Two steps in the future, effortlessly. You gave me the world, more than words could ever say, And I carry your love in everything I am today. Verse 2 Through every missed recital, your love never missed, You gave me more than moments, you gave me all of this. Swim lanes, life waves, you taught me how to breathe, How to stand up strong, how to believe. You exposed me to more than just the block, You gave me vision, you gave me a clock That was always ticking toward something bigger, Mama, you were always the root and the figure. Chorus Mama, you’re my compass, you’re my runway, my guide, Showed me the world, and you did it with pride. And your fashion stays ahead, you’ve always been that queen, Two steps in the future, effortlessly. You gave me the world, more than words could ever say, And I carry your love in everything I am today. Verse 3 And then those teenage years… yeah, we had our storms, I pushed back hard, I didn’t follow your norms. I couldn’t understand what you tried to explain, I thought I knew better, I caused you pain. We had ups and downs, we both had scars, I didn’t realize you were reaching for the stars Just trying to pull me up with you, Even when I didn’t want the truth. Verse 4 But then I grew up… and I became a mom, And suddenly your words felt like a calm. Now I get it, now I see it clear, Everything you did was love, not fear. And now we laugh, now we talk for real, Now you’re my best friend, the bond is sealed. Full circle, Mama, look what we became, I finally understand your name. Bridge And now you’re a grandmother, the heart of six, Still loving, still glowing, still holding it all together like this. Those babies adore you, you’re their safe place too, Generations of love coming straight from you. Your legacy walks in every child’s smile, Mama, you’ve been iconic all the while. Final Chorus Mama, you’re my compass, you’re my runway, my guide, You showed me the world, and you did it with pride. Still ahead of the game, still stunning, still true, Everything I am… started with you. You gave me the world, and I’ll spend my whole life Trying to love like you… with that same light. Outro Yeah… Mama… I see you now. I thank you now. I love you… always.
