Ain’t nobody down
\nLike Big Momma,
\nKept it G
\nThrough all the drama.<\/p>\n
She was there
\nWhen you were born,
\nHad words of wisdom
\nWhen you were scorned.<\/p>\n
When they jaded you
\nShe aided you,
\nCombed out your knots
\nBrushed and braided you.<\/p>\n
Don’t be tattling
\nBully outside,
\nGet back out there
\n“No!” you cried.<\/p>\n
You back talking?
\nGo get my strap,
\nYou choose the bully
\nBust his cap.<\/p>\n
Attended your
\nEvery event,
\nHoliday school
\nBirthday presents.<\/p>\n
Fed you good
\nThen watched her soaps,
\nEven stuck by you
\nStrung out on dope.<\/p>\n
Your big dreams
\nDashed by life,
\nShe rode it out
\nThrough struggle and strife.<\/p>\n
She bought you
\nSunday shoes,
\nTaught you
\nHow to choose<\/p>\n
The right people
\nTo befriend,
\nHow to see through
\nThose who’d send<\/p>\n
You crashing
\nTo your end,
\nKept a roof above
\nWith spare ends.<\/p>\n
When you brought
\nYour friends home,
\nShe loved and fed them
\nLike her own.<\/p>\n
Dressed you
\nWhen you was sick,
\nShe blessed you
\nAnd was quick.<\/p>\n
To defend you
\nWhen you needed,
\nEven in court
\nWhen you pleaded<\/p>\n
“Not guilty”
\nTo some mischief,
\nEven though you
\nWas scared stiff.<\/p>\n
Sent away
\nTo do the time,
\nWhether or not
\nYou did the crime.<\/p>\n
She held you down
\nVisits and all,
\nCommissary
\nTook your calls.<\/p>\n
When your homies
\nAnd everyone bailed,
\nBig Momma was there
\nNever turned tail.<\/p>\n
No matter
\nWhat transpired,
\nShe showed up
\nNever tired.<\/p>\n
Never asked
\nAnything in return,
\nOnly hope you’d
\nGrow and learn.<\/p>\n
How to be
\nTrue to self,
\nAnd keep it real
\nWith everyone else.<\/p>\n
Ain’t nobody down
\nLike Big Momma,
\nShe was the real G
\nThrough all the drama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
