Big momma s payback



Big momma s getting tired of her kids that are grown
Wishing they had a place of their own
She has no food,her lights are out and all her money's spent,
Her kids are so damn lazy that they won't help pay her rent
One is a thief ,the other  is a thug
Her daughter is a prostitute who won't get off of those drugs.
Retired, penniless, big mooas getting old,big momma has no heat so her house is really cold
Big momma has no car so she catches the bus
Amazed at theese kids now ,the way they fuss and cuss
Big momma met Ben and became his wife.they became rich, and was happy for the rest of her life.
