grandma lyrics

DJ Michael Watts
DJ Slice, turn me up mayne, turn me up
This heah for my grandma mayne, I love you baby
The whole family miss you baby
I'm fin' ta tell the world, how important you was to me

Oh grandma, I miss you
And wish I could kiss you and hug you girl
Oh grandma, I miss you
And wish I could kiss you and hug you girl
The way you used to hold me, the way you used to hold me
The way you used to show me, the way you used to show me
Befo' you left you told me befo' you left you told me
That I was gonna have to keep the family up
(Mike Jones!)

April 14th was when, I felt I lost a friend
I damn near stopped rappin', damn near stopped pimpin' pens
Cousin locked in the pen, when will this drama end?
I get success but it feels like my stress begins
At 17 thought I was grown, had to move on
Moved out Jones home, had to do this on my own
My grandma left my life, I felt it wasn't right
I get awards and I break down and I cry on sight
My grandma left my life, I felt it wasn't right
I get awards and I break down and I cry on sight
My grandma left my life, I felt it wasn't right
I get awards and I break down and I cry on sight

'Cause she ain't here wit me, but I know she hearin' me
Beg and plead, that she could still be here next to me
Even though you passed and left, yo' memories are kept
In my mind, heart, and soul even on my shelf
Now I'm left with cousin Jessie and
Me and my brother June, my mother and
Even though sometimes I get too busy to touch you
From me to y'all I want y'all to know I love you

Oh grandma, I miss you
And wish I could kiss you and hug you girl
Oh grandma, I miss you
And wish I could kiss you and hug you girl
The way you used to hold me, the way you used to hold me
The way you used to show me, the way you used to show me
Befo' you left you told me, befo' you left you told me
That I was gonna have to keep the family up
(Mike Jones!)

Grandma remember when we used to play
Them bones and you would skunk us
And you never had a problem punkin' us in front of company
Wally just had a son he's a daddy, I'ma uncle now
Wally just had a son he's a daddy, I'ma uncle now
Latran playin' ball, I pray to God he goes pro

And Gary Jr. gettin' bigger, I just thought I'd let you know
That the family's okay, every thang's cool and straight
Juanita and Nicky just told me to tell you they said, ?Hey?
And I pray day to day that the Lord'll pave the way
And you keep lookin' down here just smilin', just showin' ya pretty face
And I still hang around my homies that you see while you were here
Oh and my girl better than ever, she too wish you was here

You know I'm grown now, so I'm puttin' food on the table
24 years old and I got my own label
Ice age entertainment, we about to take it over
T. Boy rappin' now he's mellow, and Wally is lil' soldier
Boy still rolls with me, we close shoulder to shoulder
That gator that you gave my granny I use it to sew the game up
Me and she was partners, we both now CEO's
It's all good but I wish you was able to see me grow

Oh grandma, I miss you
And wish I could kiss you and hug you girl
Oh grandma, I miss you
And wish I could kiss you and hug you girl
The way you used to hold me, the way you used to hold me
The way you used to show me, the way you used to show me
Befo' you left you told me, befo' you left you told me
That I was gonna have to keep the family up

Man, it's crazy y'knahmsayin'?
Dis the main reason here, she the main reason why
Y'all listenin' to me today y'knahmsayin'?
True story check it out, true story
A lot of people always used to wonder
How I got up in the game y'knahmsayin'?

My grandma was, 99.9 percent of the reason y'knahmsayin'?
It's crazy though, I mean, I used to go to strip clubs all the time and
Try to get people to listen to my CD, you know?
And they be like who are you? And I'm like Mike Jones
And they'd be like who y'knahmsayin'?

And I used to always tell my grandma
And she used to always tell me
To use that y'knahmsayin'?
'Cause they gon' regret what they did to me y'knahmsayin'?
So I started usin' it, and it worked y'knahmsayin'?

And it's it's just crazy mayne y'know?
I started sayin' my name a lot y'knahmsayin'?
I started givin' my phone number out y'knahmsayin'?
When people was tellin' me that it wasn't gon' work
My grandma was tellin' me to do it y'knahmsayin'?
She told she seen a vision and, that's a hell of a vision y'knahmsayin'?

And really I started givin' out my album, I started promotin' it
And all the stuff that y'all been hearin' me do
I got it from her y'knahmsayin'?
And and that's the main reason, why I'm here today y'knahmsayin'?
And and it's crazy man, it's crazy y'know
I'm I'm, I'm here and y'all listenin' to me, y'know
So I never woulda ever thought

That I'd have the whole world listenin' to Mike Jones, man
It's crazy man, I didn't even wanna use my real name, y'know?
But grandma was like, boy you better use that name
It's gon' blow you up one day y'knahmsayin'?
And I was like man you don't know what'chu talkin' about
And now I'm here, who is Mike Jones? Holla at'cha boy
