South Sac Iraq, mama raised me like a soldier,
Love was the flame and the pain made me bolder,
Smack to the face, hesitation in her hand,
But she always put me first, made me twice the man.
Now I love this girl, she got that same fight too,
I see mama in her moves, that’s why my heart stay true.
⸻
[Verse 1]
Yeah, mama was the law, gavel in the kitchen,
Sentence with a stare, execution with a mission.
She ain’t never fold, broke bread from nothin’,
Turned struggle into strength, turn pain into somethin’.
Respect in my veins, I ain’t talkin’ back never,
Even when she swung quick, it was love in the leather.
Every scar on my heart got her name in the grain,
She the sun in the storm, umbrella in the rain.
Now this girl that I’m lovin’, she remind me of that,
Strong spine, sharp tongue, but her heart never lack.
She the queen to my hustle, the calm to my rage,
Like mama taught me life, she just flippin’ the page.

[Verse 2]
She taught me: “Boy, stand tall, never crawl, never beg,
Keep your word, stack your bread, keep respect on your head.”
She the roots to the tree, I’m the fruit that it bear,
When the world went cold, mama always was there.
Now shorty got my back like the lessons mama gave me,
She don’t play games, but her love still save me.
When I’m fallin’ off track, she gon’ set me back straight,
Like mama with the switch when I was testin’ my fate.
From the block to the booth, I keep the truth in my art,
Every lyric is a letter that I mail from my heart.
So when I ride for this girl, it ain’t a maybe, it’s true —
’Cause mama, if she like you, then I know what she do.

Yeah… mama made me hard, but she made me love harder.
So if she anything like you…
Then I’ma love her the same way you loved me.
South Sac Iraq forever.
