Single Mother Song

(album: Loners Are Cool - 2013)

[Momo:]
All the days I was tripping and falling
All the slops I was trickling down
All the days I was looking for something
I just thank god you were around
I just thank god you were around
I just thank god you were around

Gotta dedicate it to my mum Lucy
She is cool as a cucumber straight as judge Judy
My dad is grand, no dis to him either
But he left when I was eight, I guess he didn't need her
Then our nuclear fam was Hiroshima
I was young and bitter I would give her the middle finger
Like “fuck you” “I hate you” “why can't you get me this”
She said “I would if I could tom we're penniless”
And she was there trying to turn around my negatives
Through all my broken hearts and my many tiffs
Had a full time job and she raised us up
And we were all bad boys like [?] and puff
Couldn't have everything but she gave us love
Everything was tough, now I can't say thanks enough
Cause she gave up her life to cater mine
So I want to prove it's not a waste of time

[Momo:]
All the days I was tripping and falling
All the slops I was trickling down
All the days I was looking for something
I just thank god you were around
I just thank god you were around
I just thank god you were around

My mum told me that in this life somebody wins
And if you work hard you can be who that somebody is
My mum told me to go my own direction
So when I'd get suspended shed just pay it no attention
Guess she had more faith than even I did
But I would do right because she told me what right is
Even when we didn't have money to buy shit
She'd spend her last dollar so I could wear the fly shit
And I would sneak out to do graffiti on a weekday
She'd text me and say 'wear your mask and be safe'
She'd even pick me up when the police came
So, I'm sorry mum for all the worry I create
With two parents things might have been different
Maybe more money, might have had more discipline
I wouldn't change a thing though and neither would she
Love to my mum for going singularly

[Momo:]
All the days I was tripping and falling
All the slops I was trickling down
All the days I was looking for something
I just thank god you were around
I just thank god you were around
I just thank god you were around
