    My mother died last week, and the pain I feel about this loss is very great and every time I listen (before she dies) and listen to this song, I remember how much she sacrificed for me, for my family (brothers and father ) and close friends to have the maximum of happiness, health, comfort and chances of growing in the possible life.
    I am grateful for the best mother in the world I had, who taught me countless things and who formed me in the man I am today. I want to be able to realize some of your dreams as a way to show you that your effort was not in vain.
    May God give me the strength to continue living without my great mother, and let him reserve a beautiful place for you to rest in peace, and may the lady always look for me to direct me to the right path always.
    I love you and I will always love you Mom

    Listen mama, so many words to describe you
    Strong would be an understatement
    Warrior would suit you so much better
    'Cause you've been fighting
    She was just turning sixteen
    Daddy left her out in the cold streets
    He wasn't having it
    He found all her sins underneath her mattress
    Then suddenly her daddy up and died
    But still she sees her father there in Lucious' eyes
    Mama, oh mama
    For everything you've been through, there's nothing that I won't do for you
    Mama, oh mama
    See you deserve the best of what this world can offer to you
    Mama I love you, mama, mama, mama I do love you
    Mama I love you, mama, mama
    In love with the thought of becoming queen
    She never told, she did seventeen
    She gave it all so unselfishly
    And she did it all just for loyalty, that's my mama
    I never knew someone to sacrifice, everything for love
    Even gave up their whole lives
    Oh mama
    For everything you've been through, nothing that I won't do for you
    Oh mama
    See you deserve the best of what this world can offer
    You're the reason for my being here
    Mama I'm so grateful, yes I am
    I'm gon' be the one to guide your heart
    Although Lucious raised us, you still made us from the sun
    Mama, oh mama
    For everything you've been through, there's nothing that I wouldn't do for you
    Oh mama
    See you deserve the best of what this world can offer to you

    The line she said in the first season, "What have I done to you for you to treat me this way?" Now, we realize that she gave up everything for Lucious, who she truly was and who she could have been for his love. And for that she was forever changed into this warrior we now know as "Cookie". Jamal embodied his mother in song to let the world know that the person you see isn't the person she truly is. Simply Beautiful

    Jamal's music can always break through to his family no matter how fucked up their situations are. It's the foil for everyone: Provides Hakeem an adversary plus gives him great collaborations, calms Andre down when he starts breaking down mentally, provides solace for Cookie and tributes to her struggles & even brings Lucious down from his "God-complex" and reminds him that he's still only human.

  • @fionnaf7013
    @fionnaf7013 6 ปีที่แล้ว +210

    Listen mama, so many words to describe you
    Strong would be an understatement
    Warrior would suit you so much better
    'Cause you've been fighting
    She was just turning 16
    Daddy left her out in the cold streets
    He wasn't having it
    He found all her sins underneath her mattress
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Then suddenly her daddy up and died
    But still she sees her father there in Lucious eyes
    [Chorus]
    Mama, oh mama
    For everything you've been through, there's nothing that I won't do for you
    Mama, oh mama
    See you deserve the best of what this world can offer to you
    Mama I love you, mama, mama, mama I do love you
    Mama I love you, mama, mama
    [Verse 2]
    In love with the thought of becoming queen
    She never told, she did seventeen
    She gave it all so unselfishly
    And she did it all just for loyalty, that's my mama
    [Pre-Chorus]
    I never knew someone to sacrifice, everything for love
    Even gave up their whole lives
    [Chorus]
    Mama, oh mama
    For everything you've been through, nothing that I won't do for you
    Oh mama
    See you deserve the best of what this world can offer
    [Bridge]
    You're the reason for my being here
    Mama I'm so grateful, yes I am
    I'm gon' be the one to guide your heart
    Although Luscious raised us, you still made us from the sun
    [Chorus]
    Mama, oh mama
    For everything you've been through, there's nothing that I wouldn't do for you
    Oh mama
    See you deserve the best of what this world can offer to you
