Hey, Mama, know I ain`t never tell you this before
But it really hurt me knowin` I`m runnin` you crazy
I wanna talk to you real quick

My momma told me while I run these streets she can`t sleep
Her phone ring late at night, she think some`n happened to me
Her nerves so bad right now she can`t even watch TV
She turn her head every time she see a police

She scared to look `cause it might be me in the back seat
Whenever she hear about a shootin` her heart skip a beat
She heard the Feds was in the town, her knees got weak
She know I`m at the house, the only time she at peace

Her blood pressure through the roof all because of me
Her favorite words is `Dope ain`t the only way to eat`
She told me other day she hope I don`t die in these streets
I just pray to God she don`t wipe her hands with me

I`m a goon to the streets but to my momma I`m still her baby
Raised a street ni**a by yourself, you a hell of a lady
S**t I’m doin` now got nothin` to do with how you raised me
S**t killin` me to know I`m runnin my momma crazy

Goon to the streets but to my momma I`m still her baby
Raised a street ni**a by yourself, you a hell of a lady
S**t I’m doin` now got nothin` to do with how you raised me
S**t killin’ me to know I’m runnin my momma crazy

Remember the nights me sittin` up in a cold cell
I`m wakin` you up out of your sleep, it`s me callin` you from jail
You ain`t say it but I know inside you mad as hell
You called off from work just to bond me out of jail

I get in trouble, I call you, seem like it never fail
Can hear you now, "Boy, you need to sit your ass down somewhere"
I come and eat, I take a shower then I`m outta there
I know I`m stressin` you at times, seem like I don`t care

You wrote bad checks for me to have somethin` to wear
You risked your freedom for me, nowadays that`s real rare
Every time I think about the s**t, I wanna shed a tear
That`s why I buy you some`n for Father`s Day every year

I`m a goon to the streets but to my momma I`m still her baby
Raised a street ni**a by yourself, you a hell of a lady
S**t I’m doin` now got nothin` to do with how you raised me
S**t killin’ me to know I’m runnin my momma crazy

Goon to the streets but to my momma I`m still her baby
Raised a street ni**a by yourself, you a hell of a lady
S**t I’m doin` now got nothin` to do with how you raised me
S**t killin’ me to know I’m runnin my momma crazy

You did the best you could with me and I love you for that
Wanted me to stay in school but that ain`t where my heart was at
I got exposed to the streets and fell in love with stacks
And all the times I hurt you wish I could take it back

When Daddy left us you stepped up and took up his slack
I know I`m selfish and feelin` there’s some`n I know I lack
This s**t I`m doin` now I know you raised me better than that
You taught me how to be a man and showed me how to act

Sometime I wonder how you still proud I`m your son
After all the stuff I took you through and all the s**t I done
Well, like you told me when God want me, how I can`t run
Before He take me, want you to know how much I love you, Mom

I`m a goon to the streets but to my momma I`m still her baby
Raised a street ni**a by yourself, you a hell of a lady
S**t I’m doin` now got nothin` to do with how you raised me
S**t killin’ me to know I’m runnin my momma crazy

Goon to the streets but to my momma I`m still her baby
Raised a street ni**a by yourself, you a hell of a lady
S**t I’m doin` now got nothin` to do with how you raised me
S**t killin’ me to know I’m runnin my momma crazy

I think I`m speakin` for every street ni**a `round the world
I don`t think we sit down long enough sometime
Just to realize what we takin` our momma through
It hurt me to know, dawg, that I`m runnin my momma crazy
And it really killin` me to know that I`m help killin` my momma
