For Mama Marie

Intro

Mama Marie, yeah, I'm doing this for you

Verse 1

They say the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world

You were my world when I had nothing, mama

Every scar on your hands tells a story of sacrifice

You taught me that a man stands tall through the struggle

So I'm out here grinding, building dreams from the pavement

Not for the gold chains or the clout, you know the truth

It's all for your smile, mama, that's my vision

You never changed on me, and I won't change on you

Chorus

Koukouto Marie, you're the reason I rise

Koukouto Marie, through these battles I climb

Every step that I take, every dream that I chase

It's to put joy on your face, mama, that's my grace

Yeah, Koukouto Marie, you're my north star tonight

I'm coming home with the blessings, mama, we gon' be alright

Verse 2

A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor, true

I'm learning in the trenches what you already knew

That patience builds the kingdom, pressure makes the diamond

You showed me long before the world ever tried to break me

So when the night gets heavy and the road gets long

I hear your voice saying "son, be strong"

That love is my compass, your prayers are my shield

I promise you, mama, this vision won't yield

Chorus

Koukouto Marie, you're the reason I rise

Koukouto Marie, through these battles I climb

Every step that I take, every dream that I chase

It's to put joy on your face, mama, that's my grace

Yeah, Koukouto Marie, you're my north star tonight

I'm coming home with the blessings, mama, we gon' be alright

Outro

Mama Marie, I got you, I promise

This love never changes, yeah
