(Hey Mama), I wanna scream so loud for you, cuz I'm so proud of you
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
I appreciate what you allowed for me
I just want you to be proud of me (Hey Mama)
Sitting at the small kitchen table in their humble two bedroom house that Maria had lived in since her dad had left them when she was six. That year her dad had left them high and dry, just walked out on them obviously he hadn't loved them as much as they had loved him even though her mama had told that her daddy loved her very much
Maria hadn't believed her, if he loved her so damn much he wouldn't of left her.
"And then she purchased like eight more bottles, left me out of stock......" Amy's proud chatter died in Maria's ears as she sat at the floral printed table with her head rested on her folded arms watching her glowing mama wash the dishes, in their little homely kitchen a home that their mother had rented out on her own. Though Amy had never been a meek little whatever-my-husband-says-goes woman she had depended alot on her husband thinking he would be around forever, someone to spend her last years on earth with, someone to go to sleep with every night and to wake up every morning next too. He had crushed Amy when he left them all on their own.
I wanna tell the whole world about a friend of mine
This little light of mine and I'm finna let it shine
I'm finna take yall back to them better times
I'm finna talk about my mama if yall don't mind
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 a 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 nigga cheatin, telling you lies, then I started to cry
Remembering the nights Maria would hear Amy crying into her pillow sobbing as her life fell apart, Tears welled in Maria's eyes and she rapidly blinked to rush them away. They didn't cry over her dad anymore since the last night Maria had crawled into Amy's bed to soothe herself and Amy as well, They had made a pact that night that they would live the way they deserved and wouldn't let men keep them down for they
were Teflon girls.
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, just look at what heaven do
Send us an angel, and I thank you (Hey Mama)
After that night Amy got a job at a store that sold a bit of everything, It was owned by an old man who became like another Grandfather to Maria and a Father to Amy and when he retired he sold the shop to Amy, who had turned into the new age store it was today.

Her Mother had despite her broken heart sucked it all up and did what needed to be done, made a home and life for Maria and herself. She was Maria's ideal of perfection cause she wasn't, she had bad days where she would fly off the handle at Maria and when she would just break down but the next day she would pick herself back up and thats why she was Maria's hero.
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 getting 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 dancing feet
Now when I say Hey, yall say Mama, now everybody answer me (Hey Mama)
Maria knew that no matter what happened her mama would always love her and support her even if she didn't always agree with her. They would always argue but Maria knew it was cause all Amy wanted was the best for her. They would always get on each others nerves, always challenge each other but thats what made their relationship great.

I guess it also depends tho, 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 (Hey Mama)
"I'm so glad your my mama" Said Maria softly causing Amy's shop talk to die off as she turned around to look at Maria.
"I couldn't of asked for a better mom, cause of your crazy, loving personality you made me the person I am today and I know I don't say it very often but I'm so proud of you and the life you've provided for us, Thank you mama" Maria finished staring right into Amy's crying eyes.
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
Imma 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 (Hey Mama)
Coming over to Maria, Amy leaned down and took her baby into her arms and cuddled her close as they both cried happy tears.
"Thank you" Was all Amy could say as they sat their just holding each other close.
