[Mia X (Kenya & Lawand Johnson singing in background)] Precious little boy and girl growing up fast, in this foul world Mama's trying to do all she can to get through the tough times Press rewind and go back to early days And I would do it all the same way Keep my babies, yeah I struggled But God ain't give me more than I could handle Sent me two angels when my life was tangled in knots And they're all I've got My everything so pure and sweet Two perfect little parts of me, the heart of me Mommie, pulled some rabbits out some hats to pay the bills And fix ya meals, cause you both gave me the will power To tower over obstacles in our path And when I'm sad, ya innocence makes me laugh So glad to have a son and a daughter, so I strive harder To keep it tight and bring comfort in your lives And I try not to bash ya dads and bring you in the drama Though you both know I've been the daddy and the mama And I'ma keep doing all I can To make a strong black woman and man, out my angels
[Chorus: Kenya & Lawand] Oh my angels, yeah Mommie's angels, mommie's a-a-angels Oh angels, mommie's angels You're my angels, my angels, my angel child Ooh, mommie's angels, angel, angel You're my angel, ooh, mommie's a-a-angels, angel yeah ooh
[Verse 2] I'm ya real model Don't need to play no role and I don't hold, rap, or move the dramas For the way my flowers blossom I'ma put it down and keep it real for the both of you Expose you to life, let you know wrong or right like If y'all sell dope you might go to jail or get killed If y'all use drugs y'all will destroy ya minds, lie, and steal Lose ya self-respect, essence and ya pride And mama won't succeed the birth of ya rise, so strive If y'all sleep around unprotected Expect to have a bunch of little children All diseases that can't be cured and If y'all quit school ya play the fool that's half steppin' Intelligent black folks are our strongest weapon, get ya lessons Vocal sessions on the regular, eye contact I'm ready to take responsibility for the mine's act So save that blame it on him, her, them for mine I'll have to find the time to shape their little minds They're my angels
[Chorus]
[Verse 3] I'ma carry y'all till y'all can carry yourselves on ya own Hugs and kisses way after y'all grown Help ya out when ya need but stress independence Unconditional love, that's my life sentence, no repentence needed This is how it's supposed to be And I'ma keep my children close to me Hope to be, the best mama that I can Precious Lord please take me by my hands And guide me with ya righteous wings Cause I don't want my babies to regret a thing He's my king, she's my queen They're my world, thank you for my little boy and girl, mommie's angels
