[Verse 1]
A single mother
Dad wasn’t around so you played both roles
Whenever I felt down you looked at me so cold
And said get up you are somebody hold ya head up
And I tried to do the best I could
But sometimes I guess my best ain’t good
That’s word to Scarface
Take a look at my face you can see the scars trace
Hidden in my demeanor
I shed enough tears enough to drown an arena
How am I supposed to go through life with no guide
Feel like I lost my backside
Without you there would be no me
The human being or the MC
Cause when I started to Rap
You told me I should go by RAQ
Bought me a machine so I could record tapes
And even though they sucked you said they were great
I can still hear you say

[CHORUS]
Hold ya head up you are somebody
No matter who you are you are somebody
No matter how far you are somebody
Yeah, I know it’s hard, but you are somebody

[VERSE 2]
Too many pieces of me have died
How am I alive why do I survive
When everybody that I love perish
I thank God that you were my parent
I'm embarrassed to say
It’s been a few years since you passed away
Feel like I lose a bit of you everyday
I wanna bottle it up so I can hold you forever
Maybe when I go, we can be together
I would give both my lungs just to hear you breathe
It was ya 5th year with C.O.P.D.
But I never thought you would be gone
When Zack called, I could barely hold the phone
In the hospital for 9 days but no one thought it was over
Because you were soldier
Shoulda sold all I had for money for gas
Rode hours to hold ya hand
Now I can never do it

[CHORUS}
Hold ya head up you are somebody
No matter who you are you are somebody
No matter how far you are somebody
Yeah, I know it’s hard, but you are somebody

[VERSE 3]
It took me just to write this song
Cause no matter what I write it won’t bring you home
And no matter how hard I wish you were here
In the end all i ever seem to get is tears
With you went a piece of my soul
How much I love you, you’ll never know
Is what you used to say now it’s finally true
Momma that’s how much that I love you
I just wanna hug you, one more time
Even if my heart hurt, I would be just fine
I know it’s hard work just tryin’
To raise a kid like me, but amazingly Momma you succeed
Ya lay the smackdown if I don’t act right
And told me never back down if I get in a fight
And don’t worry if I don’t have sight
God would guide me through
So that’s what I’ll do
