Hi Moms
by My Rap Name is Alex

There are no self made men we're all made by our moms
gratitude to every mom and we all shine on
like the moon and the stars and the sun and the one
everything freedom rings once we all can have fun
if we stand together we can overcome
and be grateful to the moms that we come from
my dudes we gotta own it
war is over if you want it
time to end the war on women it was wrong from the beginning
woman wisdom exhalt it and embrace it
wake up and face it then you might not need to chase it
see I wanna love hip hop but my concern is this
c'mon man... who you callin a bitch?
U.N.I.T.Y. philogynist till I die
It's natural... shouldn't even need to try
see I / roll with women that are worthy of respect
which is to say I roll with women
Mic check

on this planet that we live in I'm just so greatful for women mmmm-hmmm
on this planet that we live in I'm just so greatful for women mmmm-hmmm

I had all the attention I ever needed before I even touched a mic
so I never had to try to say a thing to be liked
thanks mom for that think you'd be proud of where I'm at
I always try to give back. I'm glad you taught me that
I'll never equal your compassion but I believe I exhibit your patience
So many traits in my daughter have you as their foundation
I know you'd love her mom just as you loved all kids
she still plays with some of the toys that you kept well hid
she has a wordless skeptical face
that takes me back through time and space
quiet times together just waiting out the weather
man I haven't stirred this pot in forever
I just miss you and I love you and I always will
you impact this world daily still

on this planet that we live in I'm just so greatful for women mmmm-hmmm
on this planet that we live in I'm just so greatful for women mmmm-hmmm

And then there's another woman that holds me up like water
I call her my love person the mother of my daughter
our provider, our exciter, our make us go outsider
our joyburst nourisher that makes the sun shine brighter
didn't drop like a tornado we got to simmer and stew
and distill so see still how much I love you
who made me yearn to be a beauty in leiu of a beast
you'll come to mind every time I ever hear fur elise
from the first chilly morning we ever cucooninated
you've been cherished, loved, adored, appreciated
thanks a million for mixing DnA with me
gratitude for every moment that you stay with me
a super hero you that swooped in and flew
us to a warm cozy spot that we can grow into
sorry for what the world of work is puttin you through
I recommit to doing more than I do
because I love you
