Chords for Merkules - ''Dear Mama'' (Official Audio)

_ [F] _ [C] I've been waiting a really, really [G] long time to do this [Am] song.
[F] This one is dedicated to the dopest mom in [C] the world, [G] alright?
_ [Am]
First of [F] all, thank you for raising me since [C] a child and I hope I made [G] you proud by the
way that it's [Am] working out.
It's been 27 [F] years since you carried me in [C] your tummy so I wrote this to [G] remind you I
care about [Am] you and love you.
Sorry that [F] I never wrote a song [C] about you, but it's only because [G] I don't deserve a mama [Am] like you.
Tell me that [F] no matter what I gotta [C] fight through and to never judge [G] a person till I
walk in [Am] they shoes.
I'm really [F] sorry for the pain that I [C] put you through.
Sometimes [G] I see it in your face when [Am] I look at you.
I never graduated cause I ain't did too [C] good in school.
Most [G] parents would've spanked their kids with [Am] a wooden spoon.
Not [F] you though, you told me to keep [C] going.
Find what you [G] love, work hard and don't lose [Am] focus.
You taught me how to [F] love and how to deal with my [C] emotions and somehow you [G] never stopped
smiling in the [Am] process.
I was with the wrong [F] crowd, you were scared for my [C] life, but no matter what you [G] made sure
you were there for [Am] advice.
I was barely ever [F] home so you would stay up every [C] night waiting for me [G] praying that I'd
make it back [Am] alright.
I [F] can't believe I put you through [C] that cause you're the perfect kind of [G] person so I shouldn't do [Am] that.
Dear mama, I [F] promise you those kind of days [C] are over but I miss that [G] craft dinner that
you make I'll turn the [Am] stove on.
Dear mama, [F] _ [C] you [G] don't gotta worry no more.
[Am] Dear mama, [F] dear mama, [C] I hope you [G] feel like the world is yours.
[Am] Dear mama, [F] dear mama, [C] I don't [G] want you to feel no [Am] pain.
Dear mama, [F] dear mama, [C] I wouldn't be [G] the man I am today.
[Am] Dear mama, [F] dear mama, [C] you [G] don't gotta worry no more.
[Am] Dear [F] mama, dear mama, [C] I hope you [G] feel like the world is yours.
Dear [F] mama, dear mama, [C] I don't [G] want you to feel no pain.
[Am] Dear [F] mama, dear mama, [C] I wouldn't be [G] the man I am today [Am] without my mama.
All praise to the queen Brenda [C] Stevenson you gave [Em] me everything you had like you never
needed [Am] it you [F] believed in me so you're the reason that I succeed [C] in this so if it [G] wasn't
for you I don't think I'd ever be like [Am] this.
You took my friends [F] and you raised them like they were yours [C] putting food [G] on the table
for everyone just because [Am] it didn't matter [F] just as long as they felt like they were loved
[C] you got a spot [G] for everybody if you knew they had it rough.
I gotta [F] ask you do you think about yourself [C] because 99 [G]% of the time you're there for everyone
else [Am] I was a really [F] bad kid I don't want to know how that felt you [C] change lives [G] all the
time think of all the people you help I gotta thank [F] you on behalf of me but them too [C] because
you blessed us [G] so many times just how we bless you [Am] this career [F] that I have right now yeah
that's you [C] all these blessings [G] that we can't even count that's you too.
Dear mama [F] I turn into a grown ass man [C] but I'm still that [G] little boy who'd never show
up at class [Am] dear mama [F] you're more than just a woman you're like royalty [Cm] I had to [Gm] write
a song cause it's just a mama's boy.
Dear mama [F] you don't [G] gotta worry no more [Am] dear [F] mama dear mama I hope [C] you feel like [G] the world
is yours dear mama [F] dear mama I [C] don't want you [G] to feel no pain [Am] dear mama [F] dear mama I
[C] wouldn't be the man [G] I am today dear mama [F] dear mama you don't gotta [G] worry no more dear
[Am] mama [F] dear mama I hope [C] you feel like [G] the world is yours dear mama [F] dear mama [C] I don't want
you [G] to feel no [Am] pain dear mama [F] dear mama I wouldn't [C] be the man [G] I am today without [Am] my mama.
Remember driving me to the studio [C] as a teenager and you and dad would wait outside in [Am] the
car until like [F] four in the morning while I recorded [C] cause I didn't want [Gm] my older friends
to know that my parents dropped me off [F] and we were two hours away from home.
[C] That's Brenda [G] Stevenson.
Remember when I got [Am] stabbed and I [F] was in the hospital and I was [C] waking up and you faked
a smile [G] cause you didn't want to scare me [Am] and didn't want me to know how bad it [F] was.
That's [C] Brenda Stevenson.
[G] Remember that time the cops were looking for me and my [F] friends and you came and got us
[C] and drove us home to hide [G] from them cause you didn't want us to get in [Am] trouble.
That's [F] Brenda Stevenson.
