Lady in My Life

歌詞

Aiyyo Pudgee! (Whassup Lytesta?) Can I ask you a question? (I'm here yea) Well see, it it just seems to me that you're the talk of the town Everywhere I'm goin, y'know, I hear your name, I hear your name (You right you right you right) And I just really wanted to know like, who's the lady in your life? (Lady in my life, there ain't no lady in my life) [Pudgee] I'm dedicatin this to the instrument of God that put me on earth But was it worth the the pain for her to give birth Taught me how to read (read) taught me how to write (write) Told me use my mind instead of physical fights Self respect was a lesson I learned for health Nobody's gonna love you if you don't love yourself She had to be in charge so she never thought twice When it came down to helpin her son, she sacrificed Moms gave everything she could when she could, never mad Even though I was bad, she saw good People said that it was too hard to handle me I didn't respect authority, but she didn't let him put the hands on me Coulda gave up, with all the hard times I gave her Or put me in a foster home, livin with a stranger She kept up the fight because she knew I was bright, it's only right Thanks to the lady in my life [Chorus] The lady in my life [x16] [Pudgee] Now as for the beautiful days and the summers of my younger years Mommy took me away - we had to get away from here Here was wherever we lived at the time And no better time for a vacation than in the summertime I learned later she ran we ran away from problems She didn't wanna be nowhere near my father I never knew why she ran until later I found out He abused her, then I began to understand My father was a man physically but not mentally Ruined old fool with no sensitivity And nothin grew but the hate in me Figurin out the man who took part in creatin me In my eyes he was only my mother's lover I used to throw fits wishin that she would find another The only thing that mattered was that she was treated right Cause I was the little baby of the lady in my life [Chorus] [Pudgee] The monumental maternal figure, that we all get Should be seen appreciated as the Lord's great gift Many couldn't see this many women couldn't be this But enough about them, because my moms is the sweetest So this is for you ma, and everything you did From tuckin me in bed to helpin me get ahead When you couldn't afford me you still supported me Cause you knew that the president of somethin I was sure to be You were always here, never left me alone If you got a mother like that, you always got a home The only thing that mattered was that you were treated right Cause I was the little baby of the lady in my life [Chorus: fades out]
