letter 2 my momma
(专辑: i am ﹥ i was - 2018)
October '92 when you pushed me out (Straight up) It was only right that I
made a
song about you (Straight up) Ain't no telling where I'd be if I
went without you (On God) Wish I
woulda stayed in school, but I
dropped out (On God) You taught me how to be strong, gotta give praise (21) When the
times got hard, you always made ways (On God) Even though I
barely got the
new Js (On God) You made sure the
kid kept a
temp fade (Straight up) And you kept my PlayStation with some new games (Straight up) And you buy me freezy cups with your loose change (Facts) My daddy never was around, that nigga too lame (Fuck 'em) I
think that's why I
quit school and started to shoot thangs (21) My mama taught me how to tie my shoes (On God) My mama taught me how to cook my noodles (Straight up) Mama told me don't spend all my money with a
jeweler I
bought some real estate plus I'm investing in my shooters (21, 21) Had to write a
letter to my ma dukes (Ma dukes) I
know you proud of me, but I'm proud, too (I'm proud, too) You the
only woman I'd give some vows to (On God) I'm still your baby even though I
got a
child, too (Straight up) I
paid it off, ain't no mortgage or no rent due (Facts) Yes, she got a
Range Rover and a
Benz, too (On God) It's a
hard job, but women raise men, too (21) Ma, you never left my side and I
thank you (21) I
seen you struggling, I
think it left a
scar (Left a
scar) I
did some things when I
was young that broke your heart (Broke your heart) I'm the
one that stole the
cookies out the
jar (Out the
jar) I'm the
one that went and stole the
neighbor's car (Neighbor's car) Times got hard, started selling hard (Selling hard) Before I
see you stressing, I'm gonna break the
law (Break the
law) I
was selling weed, I
never mowed the
lawn (Mowed the
lawn) Commit a
burglary and take it to the
pawn (Straight to the
pawn) When I
went to YDC you was there (On God) If I
had a
school hearing, you was there (That's a
fact) Back when you had the
Ford minivan, let me drive to Citi Trends Baggy-ass Girbauds and some Timberlands (Straight up, straight up) Me and my baby mama was beefing, you didn't give a
damn (Straight up) You didn't never pick a
side, told me, "Be a
man" (Straight up) I'ma raise my kids, nothing like my dad, I'm a
better dad You're the
best mama I
could ever have (On God) Had to write a
letter to my ma dukes (Ma dukes) I
know you proud of me, but I'm proud, too (I'm proud, too) You the
only woman I'd give some vows to (On God) I'm still your baby even though I
got a
child, too (Straight up) I
paid it off, ain't no mortgage or no rent due (Facts) Yes, she got a
Range Rover and a
Benz, too (On God) It's a
hard job, but women raise men, too (21) Ma, you never left my side and I
thank you (21)
