My momma said
It seemed like yesterday my brother
Said him was gunna leave here
Said he was gunna go and make some money himself
See my brother wants still to be a rapper
And he can rap real good too

He use to have this book he carried around with him all the time
He use to call it a diary He use to take it everwhere he went
One day he took it to church when we went to sunday school
And the pastor asked him Boy whats that you got in your hand
And he said this is my diary
And the pastor told him that sinners couldnt have no diary (sinner)
My brother said he was lying And my brother said if he couldnt have a diary
and he was a sinner he would just call it a diary of a sinner (diary)

My momma told him dont worry bout what pastor says
My momma told him dont worry bout what nobody says
If that was your diary thats gunna be your diary
Thats what my mamma said
He said he gonna turn it into an album And I believe him too
Im just waiting (One day) one day we gunna turn that radio on ....
