Lyrics
Being raised a motherless child plus in the ghetto
Tony found himself caught dead in the middle
It wasn't no shame in this game doing dirt
A thug wasn't thinking 'bout the people he hurt
'Til the day when the blood stained his own homie's shirt
Now the tables have turned, Tony burned and learned
What you put down comes back around when it's your turn
Like little Lucy liked to get her boots knocked loose
Standing on the corner, high in the roof
Pretending that she like it, denying the truth
Another one's gone, a motherless youth
So think of consequences before you go freaking
The word responsibility is what you should be speaking
You can't have kids, don't go get blowed up
Many people in the pen on the block growed up
Without they mama, now where's they mama?
You can run, you can hide
But it still cuts like a knife
Just a day in the life of a motherless child
Bow your head, say a prayer
But the truth will still be there
Just a day in the life of a motherless child
Came in this world but not born a pearl
Maybe you left 'cause you wanted a girl
That's not my fault but I still had to wonder
Living my life hard times without a mother
Never had a sister, never had a brother
No one to hold for real, no one to bother
Nothing left I guess, only to suffer
Even then I would still pick up the slack
Stand by your side mama and watch your back
Ain't no river ever wide enough and
Ain't no valley ever low enough
Love in my heart, it's just too much
I'd give my life for just a small touch
No matter how you are or who you is
I hope you want me mama, I'm your only kid
I'm your only kid
You can run (You can run), you can hide (You can hide)
But it still cuts like a knife (Cuts like a knife)
Just a day (Just a day) in the life of a motherless child
Bow your head, say a prayer
But the truth will still be there
Just a day in the life of a motherless child
Take care of a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Yeah
I said that I feel like a motherless child
Oh
You can run (You can run), you can hide (You can hide)
But it still cuts like a knife (Cuts like a knife)
Just a day (Just a day) in the life of a motherless child
Take care of a motherless child
You can run (You can run), you can hide (You can hide)
But it still cuts like a knife (Cuts like a knife)
Just a day (Just a day) in the life of a motherless child
Take care of a motherless child
Bow your head (Bow your head), say a prayer (Say a prayer)
But the truth will still be there (Truth will be there)
Just a day (Just a day) in the life of a motherless child
Just a day, just a day, just a day
Just a day, just a day, just a day
Just a day, just a day, just a day
In the life of a motherless child
Oh, in a motherless child
