Moesha

1996–2001

It would be weird if Brandy did not sing the title song to her show. So yes, Brandy Norwood, who plays Moesha Mitchell in Moesha performed and recorded the show’s theme song. But she did not compose it. The song is credited to composer Kurt Farquhar.

As for the song itself, I know for a fact that they used a slightly different version for seasons 1 through 3 (with season 2 & 3 having minor changes only), and the fourth season and version, used from seasons 4 through 6. The video clips and sequences, of course, changed, as it normally does on multi-season series.

Lyrics

Mo to the E to the

Up in the morning
A new day is starting
It’s me, it’s me
Am I realizing my responsibility?
It’s me

My best friend is always on my mind
You wanna be down for mine
I gotta do, what I gotta do
I gotta move on

Moesha (Mo to the E to the – earlier versions)

Moesha!

Below is the original season 1 rip before season 4 rip.

The show focused on the life of an upper-middle-class African-American family through the eyes of a typical girl named Moesha. Her father Frank, a widower and Saturn car salesman (and later owner of his dealership, Brothers Saturn), has married Dee, the vice principal at Moesha’s high school, much to Moesha’s disapproval.

The series was created by Ralph Farquhar, along with the writing team of Sara V. Finney and Vida Spears. The settings for the show include the Mitchell household, the teen hangout, The Den, and in some cases, Crenshaw High School where Moesha, Kim, Niecy, and Hakeem attend. The sitcom is set in the Leimert Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.
