Dear Momma

[Chorus]
Momma told me I would never reach the dreams I'm chasin'
Momma told me I should just stay silent in the basement
I been fiending for the day my feet walk on the pavement
And then they lift right off of it as I start levitatin'
Momma told me I would never reach the dreams I'm chasin'
Momma told me I should just stay silent in the basement
I been fiending for the day my feet walk on the pavement
And then they lift right off of it as I start levitatin'

[Verse 1]
How do I start this?
I guess with "dear momma"
Thanks for all the nights you beat me
And all this receding trauma
I hate the days you say that gay was wrong and fuck obama
You left me with these violent tendencies
I feel like Jeffrey Dahmer
Teachers taught me don't judge a book by its cover
Cause any of your friends could be a snake undercover
And that was a lesson that I'd yet to discover
Until my biggest enemy turned out to be my mother
And that shit hurt me like a machete slice to the bone
Always been the type to hold on tight
Yeah, I ain't lettin' go
Getting high while flipping syllables
I guess that I'm Rosetta Stone
They treat me like a joke
Now I regret I ever spoke

[Chorus]
Momma told me I would never reach the dreams I'm chasin'
Momma told me I should just stay silent in the basement
I been fiending for the day my feet walk on the pavement
And then they lift right off of it as I start levitatin'
Momma told me I would never reach the dreams I'm chasin'
Momma told me I should just stay silent in the basement
I been fiending for the day my feet walk on the pavement
And then they lift right off of it as I start levitatin'

[Verse 2]
I tend to sit and ponder while you never love me
Probably cause you're always poppin' somthing or sippin' the bubbly
And now you only ever hit my line when you need something
But I tend to block out all the lies you speak with music bumpin'
I remember when they dragged me away at the age of six
And you ain't even give a fuck
Cause you were busy baked as shit
I'm honestly surprised that in your state you pushed a double shift
But soon as you were off of work
You go and let the danger in
Put my hand upon the grill
To burn the message in my mind
That I'm just a stupid piece of shit
Another a waste of time
Used me for them checks
And got away with the crime
I don't understand how people like you
Think that shit is fine
That's why I don't trust the system
Cause your ass should be in prison
Leechin' off the hard work of others
Is how you risen'
You ain't got no love for yourself
And none for your children
They ask me where I got my name
That's cause the pain prolific

[Chorus]
Momma told me I would never reach the dreams I'm chasin'
Momma told me I should just stay silent in the basement
I been fiending for the day my feet walk on the pavement
And then they lift right off of it as I start levitatin'
