                  D7                                 
I was three years old when you and I moved to the Chi
C7   A7                                  
Late December harsh winter gave me a cold
C                                                  
You fixed me up something that was good for my soul
Em                               D7                 
Famous homemade chicken soup can I have another bowl
G7                                             
You work late nights just to keep on the lights
D7                                A7                   
Mommy got me training wheels so I could keep on my bike
        C                                
And you would give anything in this world
                                        D7                   
Michael Jackson leather and a glove but didn't give me a curl
    G                           
And you never put no man over me
      D7                                   
And I love you for that mommy can't you see
                           C

Em                                  D                      G  
'cause a nigga cheatin' telling you lies then I started to cry
                   G            
As we knelt on the kitchen floor
       A                             A7                
I said mommy I'mma love you till you don't hurt no more
         C                                     
And when I'm older you ain't gotta work no more
Em                                  D                 
And I'mma get you that mansion that we couldn't afford
G                      G7          
See you're unbreakable unmistakable
A7                                    
Highly capable lady that's makin' loot
C7 C                                            
A  livin' legend too just look at what heaven do
Em               D                 G
Send us an angel ■ and I thank you ■

Forrest Gump mama said life is like a box of chocolates
             A                        C        
My mama told me go to school get your doctorate
                       C                       
Somethin' to fall back on you could profit with
    Em                      D         G       
But still supported me when I did the opposite
                G                      
Now I feel like it's things I gotta get
A                         C           
Things I gotta do just to prove to you
                        C                   
You was getting through can the choir please
