Along the sunlit street
Where you run to shop
Live precious memories
Of drivin’ ‘round with Pops
Back at the house
With books piled high
Helping Antoine as easy
as birds can fly

And thru it all, I hear your voice
And thru it all, I hear you say
And thru it all, I hear your voice
I hear you say

Good morning mamma
Let’s drive and take the freeway
(Drive and take the freeway)
Good morning mamma
Let’s make our own rules
And start a new day

Sitting in the pew
I see your face
With Khanlen & Big O
Your presence fills the space From pranks to prayers
To your signature smile
You’re dearly loved
For going the extra mile

And thru it all, I hear your voice
And thru it all, I hear you say
And thru it all, I hear your voice
I hear you say

Good morning mamma
Let’s drive and take the freeway
(Drive and take the freeway)
Good morning mamma
Let’s make our own rules

I came from the bottom
I raise to the top
Ever since I was a youngin’
Mama said I was her special child
I came from the bottom
I raise to the top
Mama I’m gonna make you proud

And thru it all, I hear your voice
And thru it all, I hear you say
And thru it all, I hear your voice
I hear you say

Good morning mamma
Let’s drive and take the freeway
(Drive and take the freeway)
Good morning mamma
Let’s make our own rules
And start a new day

Good morning mamma
Let’s drive and take the freeway
(Drive and take the freeway)
Good morning mamma
Let’s make our own rules
And start a new day

We made our own rules
