[Instrumental intro]

[Chorus]
Don't you forget your mother, ever…
Her health is precious, more than you can know.
So give her all your love, a priceless treasure,
'Cause without her, you'd have no place to grow.

[Verse 1]
Yo, I see you chasin' paper, stackin' up the green,
Lost inside the hustle, a relentless machine.
You're climbin' up the ladder, reachin' for the prize,
But see the fading reflection in your mother's eyes?
That quick call on the cell, yeah, you think you did your part,
Talkin' 'bout your deals, but never what's in your heart.
She listens to the static, the distance in your tone,
She's the only one who feels the sadness you've never shown.
She knows your every weakness, your every single fear,
She wiped away the pain and every single tear.
Remember scraped up knees and stories before bed?
Now it's voicemails and hollow words instead.
She gave you roots to stand on, wings so you could fly,
Don't let the silence be your last goodbye.
She's the architect of you, the reason you are here,
So make the time for her, and make that message clear.

[Chorus]
Don't you forget your mother, ever…
Her health is precious, more than you can know.
So give her all your love, a priceless treasure,
'Cause without her, you'd have no place to grow.

[Verse 2]
She's lookin' through the window, watchin' cars go past,
A lifetime of memories, a shadow that is cast.
She sees the kids outside and cracks a fragile smile,
Remembers when you were that small, just for a little while.
She'd sing a quiet lullaby to keep the dark at bay,
And gently rock your cradle to brighten up your day.
She prayed to God for blessings, for guidance and for grace,
For nine long months she kept you in that sacred space.
She never held a grudge or blamed you in her mind
That in your busy schedule, there is no time to find.
It's a one-way street of takin', a debt you can't repay,
But a simple act of kindness can wash the pain away.
Don't let her memories be of a dial tone's cold sound,
Be the comfort and the presence when no one else's around.
Her love's the truest compass, the only northern star,
It doesn't matter who you know or just how rich you are.

[Chorus]
Don't you forget your mother, ever…
Her health is precious, more than you can know.
So give her all your love, a priceless treasure,
'Cause without her, you'd have no place to grow.

[Verse 3]
Just stop a second, homie, think and understand,
This life is temporary, built on shifting sand.
And mothers won't be with us for forever and a day,
Don't wait until her photograph is all you can display.
To never call or visit, that ain't part of the plan,
It's heartless and it's careless, be a better man.
She taught you how to cherish, how to love and hold things dear,
Now you're holdin' onto everything except the one right here.
So later at a cold and silent marble stone,
You don't have to cry and beg to not be left alone.
Go and see your mother, this Sunday's a fresh start,
A gift from up above to heal a broken heart.
The lines around her eyes, they tell a story true,
But her smile can light the darkest sky for you.
She only wants your happiness, to know you're safe and free,
That's the essence of her love, for all the world to see.

[Chorus]
Don't you forget your mother, ever…
Her health is precious, more than you can know.
So give her all your love, a priceless treasure,
'Cause without her, you'd have no place to grow.

[Outro]
