Childhood

i know you love me

I love you too

I just wish you knew

Mama, this one's for you.

 

 

 

I don't have no words, they always end up slurred

Your body's saying things I ain't never heard

I'm misunderstood, i had a shitty childhood

I was born with a mother who didnt think i could

be good enough for her or the lifestyle that she had

Ex-boyfriend was wack, she had enough of all that

Two kids before me, and that's a fucking fact

The third one is mixed, it's me, white and black

Now she just laughs as her life starts flashing back

now nigga cant you see that this life was meant for me

but im still tryna figure out what it all could mean

I guess these major details ain't all that they seem

 

Now mama dont you cry for me, and i wont cry for you

I wish that you could see me now and how much i grew

from that little girl you left me as back in the Sue.

my heart is heavy and hurting from the missing piece , thats you.

but i dont know what more that i can do

mama im broken, i just keep on hoping

that you miss me as much as i miss you,

and that one day you'll call saying i love you

but i can't keep on holding, waiting for the day

that you finally realize all of your mistakes

and i just keep on saying, that it'll be okay

but how can we go on living this way

i want you to be happy, i want you to be free

i wanna see you be all that you can be

cause mama you're so pretty when you smile at me

 

please god, just let all the hurt fall away

and let me be able to stand up and say

that mama is healthy and happy today

and she's got a daughter who wants her to stay

sober, so she can keep living her life

the way that its meant to be lived without strife

so please mama listen and take my advice

we could be a family if you could think twice

before making decions that affect us all

I throw my hands up cause im left at this wall

how can you stand there and just watch me fall
