When I was young we used to always move around a lot So when it came to making friends I never had a shot New on the block In a brand new spot Didn't ever really go the way my mama thought Just go in and make some friends the way you always do Crack a joke, smile big, and join the popular crew You do it every time, these are skills for life So please stop bitchin' now 'cause ain't no son of mine Gonna whine, complain and cry All the time Just because of what's-it, wait- now what's that line You say it all the time when you start to whine Oh yeah, "why we always gotta move all the time Why can't I just have my own room that's mine Well if I'm never good enough for you, that's fine Just eat your dinner'n go to bed 'cause now you're on MY time My momma always tells me that she did her best... did her best My momma always tells me that she did her best... did her best My momma always tells me that she did her best... did her best My momma always tells me that she did her best... did her best Now we were always poor but my mama didn't know it Or if she did then she was very careful not to show it A proud white woman emphasis on WHITE Long as we weren't speaking Spanish everything was aight You see, getting with my dad was a big mistake She just wanted to rebel so she looked past his race White girl in miami so you know what that means A nice dark Latino sweeps her off her feet A couple years later, then came me My sister came next, then my mom was like Peace There's more to the story but that's basically what happened Me, my mom, and sister took off, and started mappin A life across the country chasing the American dream Just kidding! We spent our lives livin' way beyond our means But none of that ever seemed to trickle down to me She was mad because my dad never sent the child support you see My momma always tells me that she did her best... did her best My momma always tells me that she did her best... did her best My momma always tells me that she did her best... did her best My momma always tells me that she did her best... did her best Now when we first moved away things were kind of okay From kindergarten to 4th- same school every day! You see my mama came from money, never had to feel poor So she let grandma spend some money on us, more and more But then she got remarried and we moved away again 12 schools, three divorces later none of these men Ever gave a crap about me or my sister Yeah my mama loved us both but she was loyal to her mister These kids are just spoiled, they're nothing but trouble It was mostly just Jose, but now his sister makes it double And when's their dead-beat dad gonna send the freakin money Stupid spic lets his kids go to school looking bummy I'm getting sick of all their shit which means I'm sick of you too Get those kids in line, or else you know what I'll do You won't do SHIT you too weak to do it See what I mean kids?
