Kanye West Hey Mama (Live Grammy Awards 2008) Lyrics

Last night I saw you in my dreams
Now I can't wait to go to sleep [x2]

My mama mama mama

I wanna scream so loud for you, cuz I'm so proud of you and
Let me tell you what I'm about to do, Mama
You know I act a fool but, I promise you I'm goin back to school and
I appreciate what you allowed for me

I was three years old, when you and I moved to the Chi
Late December, harsh winter gave me a cold
You fixed me up something that was good for my soul
Famous homemade chicken soup, can I have another bowl?
You work late nights just to keep on the lights
Mommy got me training wheels so I could keep on my bike
And you would give anything in this world
Michael Jackson leather and a glove, but didn't give me no curl
And you never put no man over me
And I love you for that mommy cant you see?
Seven years old, caught you with tears in your eyes
Cuz a buddy cheatin, telling you lies, then I started to cry
As we knelt on the kitchen floor
I said mommy Imma love you till you don't hurt no more
And when I'm older, you aint gotta work no more
And Imma get you that mansion that we couldn't afford
See you're, unbreakable, unmistakable
Highly capable, lady that's makin loot
A livin legend too, look at what heaven do
Send us an angel, and I thank you, Mama

I wanna scream so loud for you, cuz I'm so proud of you and
Let me tell you what I'm about to do, Mama
You know I love you so and I never let you go
And I wrote this song just so you know, no matter when you go

Last night I saw you in my dreams
Now I can't wait to go to sleep [x3]

And this life is all a dream
So my real life starts when I go to sleep

My mama mama mama
