Ask My Momma

[Verse 1]
What is it to grow as a black little girl in my city
Ask my momma she came from it and you know she lived no pity
Her dad is gone so soon, because his heart go boom
And that's the second one, because the first's still on the loose
He ran away after he saw this angel that he can't assume
And her mother isn't the best took many years to tell the truth
When she used to talk 'bout her she was saying she was adopted
How were you expecting her to grow and not feeling corrupted
Oh man, how much i wish i could tell you "it's all right"
But i forgot about one little thing it's that you're not white
And in this day and age, racism pave the way
There were no great debate, only time game to play
If nobody can feel you then everybody's wrong
There so much in your life it's hard to put in one song
But it's only two words to say that i love you
For my momma there's nothing that i wouldn't do

[Hook]
Hey Mama, many questions now
I see that we have no blessings down
This is, one of many lessons, hooow
All this pressure now
Your depression high, you're impressive Mom
You're so precious mom, button pressing's on
Relieve stressing now, let my presence might
Be a present by, standards stretching high

[Verse 2]
Divorce with my father, man this shit was hard
I remember being a kid with you in late night bars
I remember sleeping in people's home i never seen before
I remember seeing this new console that you couldn't afford
But i mostly remember seeing your fake smile
And to make me happy i know you made lies
But how hard you may try, you cannot hide the truth
Especially when it's about this house that you might lose
Hearing you talking about killing yourself why you say that
I thought i could make you happy untill all these dark thoughts came back
I cannot believe my eyes, you told me you wanna die
But strangely i'm not surprised, 'cause we do have the same mind
Your faith's back so now you know you can thank god for your daughter
There was this night of suicide you didn't died you're still alive
But at wake time you had big eyes you told me lies i ain't surprised
I heard you cry, i think your life is really meant to go farther
