I Owe You

Lyrics

[Intro] Uh this real (its you that i owe) I owe you (said i owe you) [Verse 1] They say the ones you take for granted you miss the most Woke up every morning to grits and toast School clothes spread at the foot of the bed Anything I needed was there, you get it prepared Held it down when my pops and moms ain't Repay you in a way that stocks and bonds can't Jus think it's that same little boy That used to break rules, spill Kool-aid on the floor You was my father and my mother, the mother of my father Known as my grandmother, I refer to you as mama No one calmer or considerate as you, my dear Love my parents just as much, but let's get one thing clear You raised me by choice and you didn't have to Showed me where to go when i had to use the bathroom Nasty that's true, classy that's you I'd give you my last breath if I had to [Hook] When I stop, look back think about my life You gave me your love weather wrong or right I owe you, I owe you When i was down and out, and all my friends was gone You stayed by my side never left me alone I owe you, I owe you [Verse 2] Bethany, Sharron hack it, kept me wearing jackets Started triple phat, Mama kept with the fashions Everlasting love, couldn't ask enough Went to school, two jobs just to have for us Plus no child support, you did it on your own Independent woman, you the queen of my throne Condos to one bedroom we called home Long as you was there, I was never alone Though we had our ups and downs, it's all up now You used to wear small frowns, tear them all up now (How?) Did you imagine, Ma That your son would grow up to be this handsome huh? No I'm playing, I'm saying you the reason I exist And for this mess, you deserve pure bliss Any wish, I'll grant it, any diss, I'll slam it You my all understand it, your son Nick Cannon [Hook] When I stop, look back think about my life You gave me your love weather wrong or right I owe you, I owe you When i was down and out, and all my friends was gone You stayed by my side never left me alone I owe you, I owe you [Verse 3] Lord, heavenly father, I praise your soul Learned to love you for myself when I was 8 years old Before then, I didn't about your grace and mercy I just knew my pops was preaching while i played in the nursery Then he taught me that you so loved us all That you sent your only son to die on a cross I once was lost but you keep finding me I always fall but you keep reminding me Verse john 1:9 that I'm right, you see And it'll be just fine you took a liking to me Gotta let 'em all know you can still have fun Lord in the Range Rove you ride shotgun Saved me in that crash, blocked bullets when they blast That night at the party, know they got the homie No, you got him surely, and as for me If it wasn't for y'all I don't know where i would be [Hook] When I stop, look back think about my life You gave me your love weather wrong or right I owe you, I owe you When i was down and out, and all my friends was gone You stayed by my side never left me alone I owe you, I owe you When I stop, look back think about my life You gave me your love weather wrong or right I owe you, I owe you When i was down and out, and all my friends was gone You stayed by my side never left me alone I owe you, I owe you When I stop, look back think about my life You gave me your love weather wrong or right I owe you, I owe you When i was down and out, and all my friends was gone You stayed by my side never left me alone I owe you, I owe you
