Ohhh grandma (MIKE JONES! Who?)
DJ Slice, tear me up baby, tear 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
[Chorus: Mike Jones]
Ohhh grandma, I miss you
and wish I could kiss you and hug you girl
Ohhh 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!)
[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 T. 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
Cause she ain`t here with 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 Shelly, Jessie, and they real, and Gary
(?) and my brother, Uncle June, and 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
[Chorus]
[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, everythang`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
(?) 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 (?) was partners, we both now CEO`s
It`s all good but I wish you was able to see me grow
[Chorus]

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..
