Alright y'all I need y'all to kick a quick verse on this for your moms

Nothing long like a 16 you know?

Shoutout and honor Mrs. Mercer and Mama Niecy

Merce you got your 16?

Yeah I'm ready

Mike you ready?

Man I got 24

Nah king keep it short and sweet

So Merce you go first

Well see my mama was from Waynesboro Georgia

Where a glass of struggle life'll sure pour ya

So she migrated up to New York where I was born

The BX where burning buildings seemed to be the norm

Her heart was filled with love and kindness

And kept family in front never behind us

And her words had a compass in 'em

To help course correct the foolish 'round the world without venom in her heart

It ain't no surprise

She made us walk with humbleness in our eyes

She said no wantin' this and that be clear on what you need

And know sweat and tears may accompany the bleed

And she would rather us not

Send prayers up for things our own hands could gather

And since we all sprouted up from out of God's good dirt

She valued getting dirty if God was in the work

Thank you mama

No doubt yo that's love

Love and miss you Mrs. Mercer

Let me take this moment to show my mama some love

I love you mommy

Alright Killer

You got that 16 ready fam?

You already know King shit

Let's get it

I'm rollin' and smokin' easy I'm thinkin' 'bout Mama Niecy

I told her that I'ma be and them see it mommy believe me

Smokin' a joint makin' a point she tell her friends

"My baby gon' be a rapper" point at me say "Go again"

Shit I was tryna be Brother Marquis from 2 Live

I grabbed the microphone tell my tall tales and my true lies

I was a gangster and a scholar and I ran my own world

I had the money and the power and the cars and the girls

My mommy told me "One day baby but right now you just nine

And when you finally find a girlfriend make sure she more than fine

Make sure she got a beautiful heart intelligent mind

A caretaker not just a taker gotta take care of mine"

You see Niecy was my Afeni my Voletta and more

She was mama wait I was Rico in my cup she would pour

I thank the Lord for her only sixteen when she had me

Had to be hard for her

So I moved like a man on a mission from God for her

There it is

There it is nice and quick

Indeed

But not lacking in the love

Love you mama

I know you both have for your lovely mothers

Word up

Know that they both looking down proud my brothers

Salute salutary salutations

Love your mothers y'all because they mother

Yeah my mama wasn't no saint

Ha word?

They didn't call my mama "Mrs." nothing

They called my mama OG Mama Niecy ha yah' mean?

Ha no doubt

And I love her Dope

You know all that sinnin' man came from winnin'

'Cause she raised them children filled with integrity

Oh indeed brother indeed
