[D] I wanna invite and put their [G] hands together for them.
Ooh, [A] I wanna [C] talk about somebody real special tonight.
[E] Ooh, [D] [G] Big Mama.
[A] I wanna scream so loud for you.
[C] Cause I'm so proud of [Em] you.
And let me [D] tell you what I'm about to [G] do.
I know I act [A] a fool, but I promise you I'm going back to [C] school.
I appreciate what you allow for me.
I just [D] want you to be proud of me.
I [G] wanna tell the whole world about a friend of mine.
This [A] little light of mine, I'm finna let it shine.
I'm [C] finna take y'all back to them better times.
I'm [Em] finna talk about my mama [D] if y'all don't mind.
I [G] was three years old when you and I moved to the [Am] Chi.
Late December, harsh winter gave me [C] a cold.
You fixed me up something that was good for [Em] my soul.
Famous homie chicken [D] soup, can I have [G] another bowl?
You work late nights just to keep on the [A] lights.
Mommy got me training wheels so I can keep on my [C] bike.
And you would get me anything in this world.
[Em] Michael Jackson left the [D] ender glove but didn't give me a [G] curl.
And you never put no man over [A] me.
And I love you for that, mommy, can't you see?
[C] Seven years old, caught you with tears in your [Em] eyes.
Cause a nigga cheating, [D] telling you lies.
Then [G] I started to cry as we knelt on the kitchen [A] floor.
I said, Mommy, I'm a love you till you don't hurt no [C] more.
And when I'm older, you ain't gotta work no [Em] more.
And I'ma get you [D] that mansion that we couldn't [G] afford.
See, you're unbreakable, [A] unmistakable, highly capable.
Lady that's [C] making loot, a living legend too.
Just look at what [Em] heaven do.
Sent us an [D] angel, and I [G] thank you, mama.
Ah, [A] ah, I wanna scream so loud for [C] you.
Cause I'm so proud of you.
Let me [D] tell you what I'm about to [G] do.
I know I act a [A] fool, but I promise you I'm going back to [C] school.
I appreciate that you allow for [E] me.
I just [D] want you to be proud of me.
There [G] was nothing mama said.
Life is like a box of [A] chocolates.
My mama told me, go to school, get your [C] doctorate.
Something to fall back on, you could [E] profit with.
But still [D] supported me when I did the [G] opposite.
Now I feel like it's things I [A] gotta get, things I gotta do.
Just to [C] prove to you, you was getting through.
Can the [Em] choir please give me a [D] verse of you are so [G] beautiful to me.
Can't you [A] see?
You're like a book of [C] poetry.
Maya Angelou, Niki [Em] Giovanni, turn one [D] page and there's my [G] mommy.
Come on mommy, just dance with [A] me.
Let the whole world see you dance the [C] beat.
Now when I say hey, y'all say [Em] mama.
Now everybody [D] answer me.
[G] Hey mama.
Ah, [A] ah, I wanna scream so loud for [C] you.
Cause I'm so proud of [Em] you.
Let me [D] tell you what I'm about to [G] do.
I know I act a [Am] fool, but I promise you I'm going back to [C] school.
I appreciate that you allow for [Em] me.
I just [D] want you to be proud of [G] me.
I guess [Eb] it all depends though, if my ends low.
[G] Second they get up, you gon' get that benzo.
Pimp the [E] windows, ride around the city and let your friends know.
Tell your job you gotta fake them [A] out.
Since you brought me in this world, let me take you [C] out.
To a restaurant, up a echelon.
[Em] I'ma get you [D] a jack, whatever else you [G] want.
Just tell me what kind of S type, non the [A] west like.
Tell me the perfect color so I make it [C] just right.
It don't gotta be Mother's Day [Em] or your birthday for [D] me to just call and [G] say.
Hey mama.
Ah, [A] ah, I wanna scream so loud for [C] you.
Cause I'm so proud of [Em] you.
