Dance lyrics

[Intro]

One more time, one more time

Uh, one more time

Uh, one more time

[Verse 1]

I dream of the day I can go back to when I was born

Layin' in your arms, wishin' you was here today, Mom

Wish you'd appear, just for a second from Heaven

My tears would be gone, I wouldn't be rappin' this song

I'd be happy drivin' up to your eight-bedroom mansion

Up late, laughin' about the hard times we faced

The galaxy is so enchantin' beyond, Galileo's understandin'

Past the Milky Way and all the planets

There's somethin' out there greater, but only God knows

Scientists claim we came from apes, but they lies though

That was part of our conversation

I spark one up and start blazin'

Thinkin' of how amazin' she was, an angel gave me love

I'm thankful to ever know a woman so real

I pray, when I marry, my wife'll have one of your skills

But Mom, you could never be replaced

I'd give my life up just to see you one more day, to have—

[Hook]

One more dance with you, Momma

If I could only have

One more dance with you, Momma

Praying, wishing that I could have

One more dance with you, Momma

If I could only have

One more dance with you, Momma

[Verse 2]

I wish you were here, I miss you more each second I breathe

You resting in peace, forever, I accepted you free

A blessing to me, I see you dressed in all white

Smilin' at me, happy, knowin' everything's all right

If only I could hear your voice and your laughter

Just one more time, my chest would be filled up with sunshine

April 7th '02, that's when the gates of Heaven opened up

For you to stroll through, beautiful Anne Jones

Job is done, raising ghetto kids in the hood

You was my strength to carry on, and now I'm good

Job well done, you lived through your sons and grandchildren

Jesus finally got his bride, Mommy, dance with him!

And you've been my guide through all the trouble I faced

They playin' our song, the life-beat, my hand on your waist

I grab your other hand, I'm tryin' not to step on your toes

Spin you around with my eyes closed, dreaming I can have—

[Hook]

One more dance with you, Momma

If I could only have

One more dance with you, Momma

Praying, wishing that I could have

One more dance with you, Momma

If I could only have

One more dance with you, Momma

[Outro]

I love you forever, Mom

You will always live through me, always
