Yeah, everything was dark
She gave me light at 16 years old
I still feel like a kid, I'm 25
We'll be together for eternity
I don't need to make up stories
I never lacked food on the table
I've forgotten so many things
But I remember when we used to sleep in the same room
Her shouting at me in the street, me barefoot and shirtless
Running on the muddy ground, those kid things
Happy with so little and living is so expensive
I wish I could express all this feeling in a clearer way
Whenever I leave home she says she loves me
Even better is knowing for sure when she doesn't say it

Blessings, mom, thank you for everything
Your boy is now a man
I'm not known worldwide
But a big part of this world will know your name
Blessings, mom, thank you for everything
Your boy is now a man
I'm not known worldwide
But a big part of this world will know your name

Everyone knows I'm about peace
I make message rap, the kind that empowers
They also know that mother is sacred, so
Speak ill of mine and see what happens
I graduated from adult education, dropped out of college
Quit my job
If I could go back in time
I wouldn't have missed your birthday party, mom
I saw my dad without money to pay the bills
I've also seen you crying in the living room
Son, stay with your mother, I'm going to fight
God is faithful, this phase will pass soon
My family is my example of integrity
Wherever I go, I remember us
Collecting little, collecting a lot
From the beginning and from here on
Mom, today is your day and Mrs. Marlene's too
Love you so much, grandma; For someone who caused so much trouble at school, I'm doing well today
You asking me about college
But all I wanted was to skate
Sorry, dad, for quitting brokerage
My dream was to be a professional in Street
I tried not to sleep until she got home
Many times she wouldn't sleep until I got back
Now I know, time passes
Impossible to hide the feeling while we hug
Today I saw that my victory is making you smile
Sorry for all the times I made you cry
You know it's your fault I became this
We'll be together forever and anywhere

Blessings, mom, thank you for everything
Your boy is now a man
I'm not known worldwide
But a big part of this world will know your name
