Hey Mama (grammy Remix) Lyrics - Kanye West

(Hey 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 

(Hey Mama) 

I know I act a fool but I promise you I'm goin' back to school 

And I appreciate what you allowed for me 

And I just want you to be proud of me 

(Hey Mama) 

I wanna tell the whole world about a friend of mine 

This little light of mine I'm finna let it shine 

I'm finna take ya'll back to them better times 

I'm finna talk about my mama if ya'll don't mind

Modern Love: The Best Top 40 Love Songs For Valentine's Day 

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 somethin' 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 trainin' wheels so I could keep on my bike 

And you would give me anything in this world 

Michael Jackson leather and a glove, but didn't give me your curl 

And you never put no man over me 

And I love you for that, Mommy, can't you see? 

Seven years old, caught you with tears in your eyes 

'Cuz a nigga cheatin, tellin' you lies 

Then I started to cry as we knelt on the kitchen floor 

I said, "Mommy, I'ma love you till you don't hurt no more 

And when I'm older, you ain't gotta work no more 

And I'ma get you that mansion that we couldn't afford" 

Photos 

See you're, unbreakable, unmistakable 

Highly capable, lady that's makin' loot 

A livin' legend too, just look at what heaven do 

Send us a angel and I thank you, Mama 

(Hey 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 

(Hey Mama) 

I know I act a fool but, I promise you I'm goin' back to school 

And I appreciate what you allowed for me 

And I just want you to be proud of me 

(Hey Mama) 

Forrest Gump mama said, "Life is like a box of chocolates" 

My mama told me, "Go to school, get your doctorate 

Somethin' to fall back on, you could profit with" 

But still supported me when I did the opposite 

Now I feel like it's things I gotta get 

Things I gotta do just to prove to you 

You was gettin' through, can the choir please 

Give me a verse of 'You Are So Beautiful To Me'? 

Can't you see you're like a book of poetry? 

Maya Angelou, Nicky Giovanni 

Turn one page and there's my mommy 

Come on, Mommy, just dance wit me 

Let the whole world see your dancin' feet 

Now when I say, "Hey", ya'll say, "Mama" 

Now everybody answer me, c'mon 

(Hey 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 

(Hey Mama) 

I know I act a fool but I promise you I'm goin' back to school 

And I appreciate what you allowed for me 

And I just want you to be proud of me 

(Hey Mama) 

I guess it also depends though, if my ends low 

Second they get up you gon' get that Benzo 

Tint the windows, ride around the city and let ya friends know 

Tell your job you gotta fake 'em out 

Since you brought me in this world, let me take you out 

To a restaurant, upper echelon 

I'ma get you a Jag, whatever else you want 

Just tell me what kind of S-type, Donda West like? 

Tell me the perfect color so I make it just right 

It don't gotta be Mother's Day or your birthday 

For me to just call and say, "Mama" 

(Hey 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 

(Hey Mama) 

You know I love you so and I'd never let you go 

I wrote this song just so you know 

No matter where you go, my love is true
