เพลง If It Wasn't

If It Wasn't - Angie Stone

If it wasn't for yo' momma

Never thinking I was good enough

If it wasn't for yo' brotha

Always checking every move I gave up

If it wasn't for that bitch

Down the block always in yo' ear

Be no room for messing 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 thinking I was good enough

If it wasn't for yo' brotha

Always checking every move I gave up

If it wasn't for that bitch

Down the block always in yo' ear

Be no room for messing 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 thinking I was good enough

If it wasn't for yo' brotha

Always checking every move I gave up

If it wasn't for that bitch

Down the block always in yo' ear

Be no room for messing 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

Cousings aunts and uncles too

You know them be the main cause

Just because we know them

Doesn't mean that they ain't working you

Always It's something something

Something going on

If it wasn't for yo' momma

Never thinking I was good enough

If it wasn't for yo' brotha

Always checking every move I gave up

If it wasn't for that bitch

Down the block always in yo' ear

Be no room for messing up
