When Will I See You

Lyrics

[Intro: Lil Meca] Ooh mama yeah Yeah, yeah [Verse 1: Bukshot] Thinking back as a kid, remember that drama (aw yeah) Not my buddy and me it was me and my mama that's right My mama was my very best friend Standing next to me thick and thin to the end Always had a smile when she woke me up for school Never heard a fuss all them times I missed the bus Never got mad when my grades was bad Signed my report cards and didn't even show dad If I got in trouble and daddy would make me cry I'd always look at my mama see a tear in her eye Why? Probably cause she saw my tears dripping And knew the pain I felt when I got a butt-whipping And a trip to Toys R Us would always make me smile Trying to make me happy she'd go the extra mile I know she loves me, I love her too But please tell me mama, when will I see you? [Chorus: Lil Meca] Mama, yeah, yeah When will I see you?, yeah, yeah, yeah Oh mama yeah, yeah, yeah When will I see you? Woo-oh yeah [Verse 2: Bukshot] As I grew up times was pretty rough I thought my hard knocks as a kid was enough Until one night I was guilty of a crime And I got locked up for the very first time Spent the night out in the county jail The very next day mama came and paid bail She was looking at my face, straight mean-mugging A teardrop fell, and then we started hugging I told her I was sorry, I know I done bad The worst was to come cause I had to face dad On the way home something happened strange Mama held her stomach and said she had a pain Didn't think nothing of it, it never crossed my mind Mom'll be alright cause she's one of a kind Gave me a wink and a smile that's true Please tell me mama, when will I see? [Chorus: Lil Meca] Mama, yeah, yeah, yeah When will I see you?, yeah, yeah, yeah Oh mama yeah, yeah, yeah When will I see you? Woo-oh [Verse 3: Bukshot] One rainy morning mama woke up sick I put her in my car, took her to the doctor quick Sitting on a couch, waiting for an answer That's when I found out mama's got cancer I couldn't say a word (aw man) How could I react to what I just heard? I was looking at my mom, water in her eye My tears let loose, please mama don't die The next thing I know, I'm sitting by her bed Crying like a baby with my arms around her head She whispered in my ear "it wouldn't be long" The last thing she told me was "Tim be strong" With one last smile mama gave a wink as she closed both her eyes it made myself think As the angels took her up in the sky so full of it A question and finally answered, I know when I'll see you [Chorus: Lil Meca] Mama, yeah, yeah, yeah I'll see you in heaven Yeah, yeah, yeah Oh mama, yeah, yeah, yeah I'll see you in heaven [Bridge: Lil Meca] There be no more pain No more fears I know that the Lord is gonna wipe away my tears You told me not to worry, I'd be alright After the rain I'm gonna see the light [Chorus: Lil Meca] Mama, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'll see you in heaven Yeah, yeah Oh mama, yeah, yeah I'll see you in heaven Yeah yeah yeah [Outro: Lil Meca] The next thing I know, I'm sitting by your bed Crying like a baby with my arms around your head You whispered in my ear "it won't be long" The last thing you told me "child be strong" Mama yeah, oh
