My mother's prayer was to see me happy
Her daughter's wish is to have her here
My mother always used to tell me
If she was around, there's nothing I should fear
Mama I know you're in a much better place right now
When you look down on me, wish you wouldn't see me cry
It's been two years and I'm missing ya like crazy
But I'm a soldier, doing everything to make you proud
Oh, I'm doing everything to make you proud
Hey, I said, yeah, doing everything to make you proud
It's like a slight shiver, a stirring in the air
And I can see it's kinda eerie when she feeling that she near
It's been more than two years that she's gone
I felt we nearly came to terms with everything until another was lost
And there's a million other episodes I'd rather endure
Then to see the pain in my baby the loss had've caused
So everyday I'm grateful, thank the heavens that my mama is with me
I've been lucky, death has rarely been a part of my history
Knock wood, I'm praying for the karma to bless me
For when I'm the next target, to miss me
I've got too much to live for, coz honestly this be
An experience that I ain't finished billing, no cheque please
That said, I ain't scared of when I'm leaving the planet
Because the body just a vessel for the soul to inhabit
And when it's time for me to pass and reunite with the fam
I'mma be smiling, satisfied coz all the while yeah, life was good to me, damn
Oh, I'm doing everything to make you proud
Hey, I said, yeah, doing everything to make you proud
