the verse about "mommy" really cleverly plays on words; "all the times she showed me wrong" because ur parents are supposed to teach u right and wrong but he only got shown wrong by his mother, as in she showed him what not to do by doing it. "hello mom" follows "thankyou mom" bucause saying "hello mom" is what everyone says when they have a chance to get famous or whatever just the same way he is saying "thankyou mom" because he is simply expected to, but at the same time it is ironic as he is obviously being sarcastic.
"mom" is quite likely to be metaphrical for the mother country, the counry which gave birth to him and his nation, if what "darkeyes" above said is right, i dont think anyone could be proud of slavery in their history so he is having a go at his heritage, by having a go at his mother.
