If It Wasn't
Angie Stone

If it wasn't for yo' momma

Never thinkin' I was good enough

If it wasn't for yo' brotha

Always checkin' every move, I gave up


If it wasn't for that bitch

Down the block always in yo' ear

Be no room for messin' up

But baby love, you'd be right here


Tell me why must I, since they bought us things

Suffer indefinitely for loving you

Sugar why must I prove to anybody but you

Feel I been chosen to loose, I paid my dues, oh


If it wasn't for yo' momma

Never thinkin' I was good enough

If it wasn't for yo' brotha

Always checkin' every move, I gave up


If it wasn't for that bitch

Down the block always in yo' ear

Be no room for messin' up

But baby love, you'd be right here


I'd been lying too, if I said to you

That they're pressuring me away from you

It's that she's run this

Got us fighting over dumbness


Got my heart on some numbness

That's your momma and I can't take it, no more

I gets no joy but when I hurt

So when it hurts, it really hurts


If it wasn't for yo' momma

Never thinkin' I was good enough

If it wasn't for yo' brotha

Always checkin' every move, I gave up


If it wasn't for that bitch

Down the block always in yo' ear

Be no room for messin' up

But baby love, you'd be right here


Gotta learn to keep your family out the game

When you're trying to do your thing

They got more that's due

Just 'cause momma fed you right all your life

Don't mean she walk on a perfect line

Watch your step or pay the price, sacrifice


Mothers, sisters, fathers, brothers

Cousin's, aunts and uncles too

You know them be the main 'cause

Just because we know them

Doesn't mean that they ain't workin' you

Always it's something, something, something goin' on


If it wasn't for yo' momma

Never thinkin' I was good enough

If it wasn't for yo' brotha

Always checkin' every move, I gave up


If it wasn't for that bitch

Down the block always in yo' ear

Be no room for messin' up

But baby love, you'd be right here
