Mama

(专辑： Victory - 2023)

I see the past and it hides in your closet
I see you can't move, but you're starting the process
So, now, I hope to God that you're making some progress
Guess I don't believe, but I'm just being cautious

I see the guilt's weighing heavy on your conscious
I see that all the pain hasn't got as a constant
I hope that you can step back and put it in context
'Cause that man, he belongs in a coffin

I hope, one day, that you will see
Everything I did was for you and me
Everything I did was for you to see, you to see
And I hope, one day, that you believe
Everything I have, yeah, you gave to me
And everything I am 'cause you made me, you made me

I wish I had a verse with some better words
Wish I had a hope that you've never heard
Wish one day that you wouldn't hurt
'Cause, mama, you give me the world
I wish I had a way with some better rhymes
But I still can't say what I can't fight
I wish one day that you wouldn't cry
'Cause, mama, you kept me alive

Whatever you need, I promise I'll try
I promise I'll try
'Cause, mama

And then it all comes up, we were talking
I know you're tryna save me the pain that it's causing
I never see you crying, now I hear that it's pouring
So, let me be the roof while it put up the flooring
I know it's not meant to be something you're forcing
But I wish that you could force a little more. It's important
'Cause now it's your time and you're turn to be open
And everything you kept in a box, you can throw it

I hope, one day, that you'll see
Everything I did was for you and me
Everything I did was for you to see, you to see
And I hope, one day, that you believe
Everything I have, yeah, you gave to me
And everything I am 'cause you made me, you made me

I wish I had a verse with some better words
Wish I had a hope that you've never heard
Wish one day that you wouldn't hurt
'Cause, mama, you give me the world
I wish I had a way with some better rhymes
But I still can't say what I can't fight
I wish one day that you wouldn't cry
'Cause, mama, you kept me alive

Whatever you need, I promise I'll try
I promise I'll try
'Cause, mama, you keep me alive
