Lyrics
My papa's story kinda sad
Reflecting on the sadness in my father's life story
'Was just a baby when he lost his dad
He lost his father when he was just a baby
So he was raised by his loving mom
Raised by his loving mom
Who worked hard every day
Mom worked hard every day
She fetches water from afar
She fetched water from afar
And so her hands were full of scars
Her hands were scarred from hard work
As she goes from house to house
She went from house to house washing clothes for pay
To wash clothes for some pay
Describing mom's daily labor
I cherished the times when you took care of me
Cherishing memories of mom taking care of the speaker
As years go by so fast
Expressing the fast passage of time
How can I forget your love
Unforgettable love from mom
Mama you're the best
Mom, you're the best
I remember 30th January 1998
Recalling a specific date - January 30, 1998
She was fighting for her breath as she's lying on the bed
Mom struggling for breath on a bed
I know I'm gonna lose you
Acknowledging the imminent loss of mom
But you're going to a better place
Believing mom is going to a better place
Mama, I miss you
Expressing deep longing for mom
When I was born things've gotten better
Positive changes since the speaker's birth
We had good food and lots of laughter
Life filled with good food and laughter
Mama would cook the most delicious meals like it's Christmas eve
Special memories of delicious meals cooked by mom
She raised up 7 awesome children
Mom raised 7 wonderful children
And in their lives you see her reflection
The children's lives reflect mom's influence
So I grew up in a house of love with wholesome memories
Growing up in a loving household with cherished memories
I cherished the times when you took care of me
Recalling moments when mom took care of the speaker
As years go by so fast
Reflecting on the swift passage of time
How can I forget your love
Unforgettable love from mom
Mama you're the best
Mom, you're the best
I remember 30th January 1998
Recalling January 30, 1998, mom struggling for breath
She was fighting for her breath as she's lying on the bed
Mom's difficult moment on a bed
I know I'm gonna lose you
Acknowledging the upcoming loss of mom
But you're going to a better place
Believing mom is going to a better place
Mama, I miss you
Expressing deep longing for mom
I cherished the times when you took care of me
Cherishing memories of mom taking care of the speaker
As years go by so fast
Reflecting on the swift passage of time
How can I forget your love
Unforgettable love from mom
Mama you're the best
Mom, you're the best
I remember 30th January 1998
Recalling January 30, 1998, mom struggling for breath
She was fighting for her breath as she's lying on the bed
Mom's difficult moment on a bed
I know I'm gonna lose you
Acknowledging the upcoming loss of mom
But you're going to a better place
Believing mom is going to a better place
Mama, I miss you. whoa...ooh...whoa
Expressing deep longing for mom
Mama, I miss you. whoa...ooh...whoa
Expressing deep longing for mom (repeated)
Mama, I miss you.
