Lyrical Analysis of...
Dear Momma
- //Chorus:
- Momma I'm gonna tell you the truth
- Momma I'm sorry about my moods being blue
- Hope things improve just listen to my views
- Don't interrupt me don't immediately refuse
- //Verse 1:
- Once upon a time there was this guy
- He had me feeling so fly, feeling sky high
- He was there when I needed to cry
- Except sin slipped in and you asked why
- How long has this been going on?
- Are you pregnant? Smoking that jawn?
- Mommy I wish I was joking...I'm choking
- Hoping you still love me, visiting hours closing
- You were so angry with my hypocrisy I was crazy
- It wasn't even funny you looked ready to punch me
- Snapped at me to handle it on my own probably
- Feeling like this is scary, but you weren't worried for me
- At least that's how it seemed, 1 year later am I redeemed?
- You said so yourself you were more angry with me like a beast
- Over my sin with him than me wanting to die that's my defeat
- The hardest thing to write and face and momma I'm feeling weak
- //Chorus:
- Momma I'm gonna tell you the truth
- Momma I'm sorry about my moods being blue
- Hope things improve just listen to my views
- Don't interrupt me don't immediately refuse
- //Verse 2:
- It's been 52+ weeks, so sometimes we talk it out now
- You had me walking out on pain a plenty but I'll ask how
- Separating us for so long, barring any contact does good wow
- Momma he did wrong, but I miss him it's jarring wish you'd allow
- Allow some contact cuz I wish he could come back fast
- I've grown stronger if he touches me like that (smack) he'll get cracked
- Just hope he's wiser knows he'll never get Jack, no lap dance
- Keep it in his pants yeah I'm believing that despite the tough crap
- Hey momma, he's not like Bill that jerk I promise
- He's not heartless he won't hurt me like him cause'
- He's got Jesus he's not abusive like my birth daddy
- He's not sneaky, maybe just my kind of creepy not crafty
- Remember what you see ain't what's always real
- Bet that letter had your mind spinning like a ferris wheel
- I'm reliving memories like a movie reel, wishing we were real
- I'm sorry you won't change how I feel it's for real no deal
- //Chorus:
- Momma I'm gonna tell you the truth
- Momma I'm sorry about my moods being blue
- Hope things improve just listen to my views
- Don't interrupt me don't immediately refuse
- //Verse 3:
- Hoping you accept this and my choices
- This decision ain't wreckless, ain't foolish
- Wish I could be true, say that I miss more than 1 Smith
- His momma, brother, sista, poppa too don't dismiss
- They're gone too along with my old crew forced to stop
- Can't hang if he's there and you say it's not your fault
- Both know you won't go to court over a boy give me some support
- Not asking for an award just don't want to be ignored
- Maybe we could start off civil, something simple
- This pain is personal I'm wishing for a little signal
- Show me a symbol I'm done being fickle, being sinful
- Just being lyrical try not to be too cynical, critical
- Dear momma: I still love him, he's changed in God he's remade
- What we have we can't erase, but God forgave our mistakes
- That boy didn't cause failing grades rather took away headaches
- Through the painful aches and life's earthquakes keep it straight
- //Outro:
- Mommy it's me! I'm still your little girl without a doubt
- Do you see me now? Are you willing to hear me out?
- I really love you mommy! But I'll be real and say I love him too
