If It Wasnt Lyrics by Angie Stone

If It Wasnt Lyrics

    [1] - If it wasn't for yo' momma
    Never thinkin' I was good enough
    If it wasn't for yo' brotha
    Always checkin' every move I gave up
    If it wasn't for that bitch
    Down the block always in yo' ear
    Be no room for messin' 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

    [Repeat 1]

    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

    [Repeat 1]

    Gotta learn to keep your family out the game
    When you're trying to do your thing
    They got more that's due
    Just cuz 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
    cousin's aunts and uncles too
    You know them be the main cause
    Just because we know them
    Doesn't mean that they ain't workin' you
    Always it's something something something goin' on

    [Repeat 1]
