[Intro]
Bm7 Cm7..Ooh-ooh,..hey
GbM7..Ooh-ooh, wow-oh-oh
Bm7 Cm7..Ooh-ooh,..hey
GbM7..Ooh-ooh, wow-oh-oh
[Verse 1]
Bm7Yeah, you ever make it up to the gate?
Cm7And if you did, I wonder, is it a beautiful place?
GbM7Did He put His arms around you, and make you feel like you're safe?
Did He grab you by the hand and say that things are okay?
Bm7I gotta know mama, did He show you some grace?
Cm7Give you a pass and tell you He would carry the weight?
GbM7Do you smile more? Wonder what it's like when you pray
Is He standing in front of you so you could look at His face?
Bm7When you talk to Him, does He talk back?
Cm7You ever have conversations about what you regr?t?
GbM7Or did it all Go away once you got there? Do?s each breath
Take you closer to God? Would you say that you cry less?
Bm7Do you feel at peace yet?
Do you laugh more?
Cm7Do you feel like heaven is everything you could ask for?
GbM7I ever make it up there, when I see you, I hope you're smiling
'Cause you deserve it, pray to God that you found joy
And always know that—
[Chorus]
Bm7 Cm7 GbM7..You don't gotta cry,..you don't gotta cry no more
Bm7I hope you're up there lookin' down on us with a smile on your face
Cm7 GbM7You don't gotta cry, you don't gotta cry no more
Bm7I hope you're up there with God feeling loved and set free from your pain
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I look at the situation you had
Cm7Mighta made a mistake of leaving, but it's makin' me sad
GbM7Thinkin' of you, how you grew up tryna cope with your past
Were you like me in your relationships and pushed away Dad?
Bm7I gotta know, Mama, did you think you were trash?
Cm7Something disposable, that nobody could love or be glad
GbM7To say they was with you, that issue is a issue I have
That's why it hurt me when Britney gave me those letters you sent
Bm7 Cm7I barely read any of 'em knowin' I'd let them Go to my head
GbM7And get to me, especially when I feel I related
Might not be around for my babies, but know when I say that I love you, that I mean it okay?
Bm7'Cause nobody's perfect
Yeah, I guess we all fall short
Cm7And I can't hold this unforgiveness in my heart no more
GbM7So just know you're
Loveable to me, and of course
You'll always be Mama to us, we'll save a table for four
And know that—
[Chorus]
Bm7 Cm7 GbM7..You don't gotta cry,..you don't gotta cry no more
Bm7I hope you're up there lookin' down on us with a smile on your face
Cm7 GbM7You don't gotta cry, you don't gotta cry no more
Bm7 Cm7I hope you're up there with God feeling loved and set free from your pain....
GbM7You don't gotta cry, no
[Outro]
Bm7Yeah, I'm grown now
Took me a while to see the bigger picture
Cm7 GbM7..'Cause if you were here today and I was talking with ya
It'd be a lot of tears of joy falling on my sweatshirt
Prolly followed by some apologies and "Mom, I missed ya"
Bm7Yeah, I pray you see me down here lookin' up
Cm7..Still got a lot of things that I need healin' from
GbM7..But I'll get there eventually, so don't you worry none
I just hope you finally got some peace and you feel happy
Bm7 Cm7 GbM7Mom, I love you...........
Bm7 Cm7 GbM7................
