Yeah, this song right here is dedicated to that one special woman in my life, right
(Thank you for loving me) My Mother
(And thank you for holding me down) Theresa
(I know that you care for me) Rene
(Cause you've always been around) Sing it
Ma (Thank you for loving me) This song right here is for you
(I want to thank you for holding me down) All the love you showed me
(I know that you care for me) I'ma give it right back to you
Let's go

[Chorus: x2]
All of the things you do (yeah)
I can never repay you (uh huh)
I can't imagine life without you
My mama, my roll dog

Anything you need from me, Ma, you know that it's yours
You're the only woman in my life that I adore
I remember back in the days when we couldn't get much
TV's wasn't covered and the floor was tore up
How you juggle three jobs just to take care of me
Yo baby boy, Bow Weezy
Late night shifts, daytime to the AM
Comin' home late, there was my best friend
My soul mate, yes, my big brother
The one who tucked me in, put me under the covers
When I had nightmares, you came right away
Read me bedtime stories and chased them away
My beautiful black queen, my everything
The one that keeps this heart pumpin' everyday
I'm a young man now
But my plan is to show you that I really understand
Mom, I love you

[Chorus: x2]

Look at you now
You sittin' up on top of the world
Got a X5 and a Benz just to swerve
Gotcha dream house now
Sittin' on big land, big money, big jewels, big game plan
You told me one day I'ma make it this far
Have God in my life and I'm goin' be the star
I did it, well, look where we at
Don't have to worry 'bout past due bills and all that
Don't have to worry 'bout them bill collectors all on yo back
Don't worry
If you ain't got it, I got your back
Don't even worry 'bout you working 3 jobs real late
Don't even have to worry when you have no food to put on the plate
Back then, I didn't understand but I do now
I look back and I reminisce on how it all went down
Went from bad to good, from frowns to smiles
Mom, I really love you, understand now
I love you

[Chorus: x2]

Thank you for loving me
Say what now
Thank you for holding me down
Say what now
I know that you care for me
Sing that
Cause you've always been around
Kick it back and
Thank you for loving me
Say what now
Thank you for holding me down
Say what now
I know that you care for me
Say what
Cause you've always been around
Drop the beat back

Yo (yeah)
This song right here is dedicated to my mother (and oh)
And all the mothers out there (oh oh ooh)
Every mother (yeah)
All the single mothers out there workin' hard (oh oh yeah)
Just keep ya head up (oh)
And we goin' do it like this for all the mothers now (oh oh oh ooh)
All the mothers rock rock rock on (ooh)
All the mothers rock rock rock on (ooh)
If you wit me, rock rock rock on (ooh)
(just keep ya, just keep ya)
Just keep ya head up (just keep ya)
rock on (just keep ya head up)
rock on (just keep ya head up)
Uh, all my single mothers, rock on (yeah)
All my mothers come on, uh (yeah yeah)

All of the things you do (all the things you do)
I can never repay you (that's why I love you)
I can't imagine life without you (that's why I need you)
My mama, my roll dog (that's why I need you, yeah)
All of the things you do (all the things you do)
I can never repay you (I can never replace you)
I can't imagine life without you
I can't imagine my life without the one I love
Oh no yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah oh oh oh oh no
I love you mama
Said I love you mama
Yeah yeah

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
