[00:20.69]Big Mama, my grandmother, my main girl
[00:23.35]I love you much more than the scandalous world
[00:25.80]As a young boy you gave me whoopings to save my life
[00:28.33]Cursed me out, to keep me out the streets at night
[00:30.91]Cause my momma had me when she was young
[00:32.83]So you took on the responsbility to raise your grandson
[00:36.22]You taught me if a task is once begun, Todd
[00:39.09]Never leave it 'til it's done, Todd
[00:41.67]Be thy labor great or small Todd
[00:44.24]Do it well or not at all, God
[00:46.87]Big Mama, my blood is your blood
[00:48.99]When the whole world's against me, I know I got your love
[00:51.66]If I was in a cell for the rest of my life
[00:54.15]I know I'd hear your prayers in the middle of the night
[00:56.62]Used to sit me on your lap and teach me mother wit
[00:59.49]Early Sunday morning for them salmon and grits
[01:01.63]I love you baby, you the one and only, that's a fact
[01:04.52]'Til death do us part, I'ma always have your back
[01:07.10]You beefed cause you heard that I was cursin in my raps
[01:09.45]Eighty-six, still you wanna run and get the straps
[01:12.18]I love you, I promise you I care for you deep
[01:14.55]Cause when I had bronchitis you would rock me to sleep
[01:17.65]Rub me down with green alcohol
[01:19.82]Little brown-skinned lady bout five feet tall, Big Mama
[Chorus: Dru Hill (LL)]
[01:22.99]Early one Sunday morning
[01:27.80]Breakfast was on the table (you gave me unconditional love)
[01:32.97]There was no time to eat, she said to me
[01:39.10]Boy hurry to Sunday school (you gave me unconditional love)
[LL Cool J]
[01:42.96]I remember when you told me certain friends wasn't real
[01:45.69]I didn't wanna listen, I swore I knew the deal
[01:48.11]Come to find out, everything you said was true
[01:50.55]Who I end up goin to for advice? You
[01:53.39]I love you, that's why you got nurses and maids
[01:55.77]Ever since I got paid, you ain't never been afraid
[01:58.50]That's granddaddy wife, she taught me how to think
[02:00.95]How to navigate through life, you made the sacrifice
[02:03.58]You kept on livin, cause when my granddaddy died
[02:06.16]It took all your might, but you ain't quit on life
[02:08.46]We took trips down South, biscuits and chicken
[02:11.53]Me you granddad and Alison, trippin
[02:13.99]Remember, you used to pick me up from junior high
[02:16.46]And classmates laughed when the Buick rolled by
[02:19.00]Remember, I pulled my privates out in class
[02:21.58]And from Farmers to Dunkirk you straight whooped my (woo!!)
[02:24.53]The best cookin a man could ever taste
[02:26.72]It's written in my heart, it can never be erased
[02:29.23]Thank you so much, you taught me well
[02:31.63]How to not get souped up, because I'm LL
[02:34.39]How to walk the street, and hold my head real high
[02:36.92]How to live with Christ and not be afraid to die
[02:39.55]We sipped daquiris, but you never told moms
[02:42.13]We even shared beers, Big Mama my dear
[02:44.68]A toast to a woman that raised a man
[02:47.16]In popular demand all across the land
[02:49.68]You're my lawyer, my teacher, my doctor, my friend
[02:52.41]My mother, my father, you with me 'til the end
[02:54.90]I love you, I mean that from the bottom of my heart
[02:57.50]That's the reason why my record's #1 on the charts
[02:59.98]I'ma tell it like it is, I love you forever
[03:02.43]Dead or alive, we'll always be together
[03:04.48]Big Mama I love you
[Chorus]
[03:05.75]Early one Sunday morning
[03:10.57]Breakfast was on the table (you gave me unconditional love)

[03:24.77]I dedicate this to the Big Mama's everywhere
[03:27.52]The ones who raised us - when nobody else was there
[03:30.63]The ones who held us and told us it'll be alright
[03:33.22]When gunshots was goin off every night
[03:36.55]Taught us how to lock the door and check the peephole
[03:39.02]And how to swallow Vicks when we had a chest cold
[03:41.68]How to stay proud, and represent hard
[03:44.13]Eat plenty baby, but first say grace for God
[03:46.80]Big Mama, I'ma miss you
[03:48.85]When one of us leave this earth
[03:50.81]But baby for what it's worth, I love you since the date of my birth
[03:53.84]And if it wasn't for my children, I would wanna go first
[03:56.49]You're the reason I'm the man I am today
[03:58.93]The inspiration, for me to be LL Cool J
[04:01.68]When you told me "Knock 'Em Out," I brought you home a Grammy
[04:04.35]I learned to be tough from Big Mama and Aunt Cammy
[04:07.21]A black man that was raised by black women
[04:09.33]On tour, sippin your special honey and lemon
[04:11.77]You told me, gargle with vinegar water and salt
[04:14.67]The concert was hot, thanks to your support
[04:17.17]Girl - you're the one I love
[04:19.57]Whether right here with me or smilin from up above
[04:22.25]Trouble or no trouble, you always had my back
[04:24.76]So I had to let you know your son appreciates that, Big Mama
[Chorus - repeat 2X]
[04:48.38][04:27.78]Early one Sunday morning
[04:53.38][04:32.72]Breakfast was on the table (you gave me unconditional love)
[04:58.48][04:37.76]There was no time to eat, she said to me
[05:04.69][04:44.05]Boy hurry to Sunday school (you gave me unconditional love)
