PUDGEE THA PHAT BASTARD - Lady In My Life lyrics

rate me

Aiyyo Pudgee! (Whassup Lytesta?)

Can I ask you a question? (I'm here yea)

Well see, it it just seems to me that you're the talk of the town

Everywhere I'm goin, y'know, I hear your name, I hear your name

(You right you right you right)

And I just really wanted to know like, who's the lady in your life?

(Lady in my life, there ain't no lady in my life)

[Pudgee]

I'm dedicatin this to the instrument of God that put me on earth

But was it worth the the pain for her to give birth

Taught me how to read (read) taught me how to write (write)

Told me use my mind instead of physical fights

Self respect was a lesson I learned for health

Nobody's gonna love you if you don't love yourself

She had to be in charge so she never thought twice

When it came down to helpin her son, she sacrificed

Moms gave everything she could when she could, never mad

Even though I was bad, she saw good

People said that it was too hard to handle me

I didn't respect authority, but she didn't let him put the hands on me

Coulda gave up, with all the hard times I gave her

Or put me in a foster home, livin with a stranger

She kept up the fight because she knew I was bright, it's only right

Thanks to the lady in my life

[Chorus]

The lady in my life [x16]

[Pudgee]

Now as for the beautiful days and the summers of my younger years

Mommy took me away - we had to get away from here

Here was wherever we lived at the time

And no better time for a vacation than in the summertime

I learned later she ran we ran away from problems

She didn't wanna be nowhere near my father

I never knew why she ran until later I found out

he abused her, then I began to understand

My father was a man physically but not mentally

Ruined old fool with no sensitivity

And nothin grew but the hate in me

figurin out the man who took part in creatin me

In my eyes he was only my mother's lover

I used to throw fits wishin that she would find another

The only thing that mattered was that she was treated right

Cause I was the little baby of the lady in my life

[Chorus]

[Pudgee]

The monumental maternal figure, that we all get

should be seen appreciated as the Lord's great gift

Many couldn't see this many women couldn't be this

But enough about them, because my moms is the sweetest

So this is for you ma, and everything you did

From tuckin me in bed to helpin me get ahead

When you couldn't afford me you still supported me

Cause you knew that the president of somethin I was sure to be

You were always here, never left me alone

If you got a mother like that, you always got a home

The only thing that mattered was that you were treated right

Cause I was the little baby of the lady in my life

[Chorus: fades out]
