FLAT shasta

[Verse 1: Ray Vaughn]
Mama, I used to watch you scam and sell dope
But as of now, I don't know what to tell folks when they ask me 'bout you
Knowin' it's been a couple months since we done spoke
So I try to break the tension with a joke, huh, truth is
Mama, you need meds for schizo, but you won't take it
If you lose all your marbles, you ain't gon' have none to play with
A Black woman who cryin' for help and I'm tryna save her
The last thing you want to be called in this world is crazy
Aw, poor baby, I'm just prayin' that your Shasta ain't flat
'Cause you say a lot of shit that you could never take back
Is that the reason why my daddy left? Just tell me the truth
My sister Brie act just like you, a whole litter
You pushed seven of us out by the age of twenty-five
I don't see you when I look you in the eyes
I'm lookin' for Aisha, I'm lookin' for the woman that's inside
Just let me know when she arrives
Mouth full of pills in front of us, could've died
The world on your shoulder, how heavy is suicide?
If God took you then, I wouldn't wanna be alive
Shit, if God took you then, I would be at war with God, yeah

[Chorus: Ash Leone]
I wish I could save your smile
I wish I could ease your mind like you have done for me
Mama, just stay awhile
Don't leave me like the tears that fall from my eyes
I'm not crazy at all
I'm not crazy at all
I'm not crazy at all
I'm not crazy at all

[Verse 2: Ray Vaughn]
Sometimes, I wonder if the reason I don't treat bitches right
Is 'cause I never seen you get treated right
If you pass me the cycle, then I'm fucked up for life
'Cause every nigga that you get with, you fight
Uh, just let me know what happens when all of the hugs run out
Mama, what do I do when all the drugs run out?
Mama, your mind like a drink left in the sun
The bubbles are gone, the damage is done
But I keep pourin' my love into your glass
Prayin' one day this storm gon' pass
I need you bad, I, I need you bad
To the woman that smoked weed with my brothers right before class
To the woman that I love way more than my fuckin' dad
Can I borrow one of your laughs and can I steal one of your smile?
And can I hold onto your joy 'cause I ain't felt that since a child
And if it wasn't for your womb, I wouldn't be breathin' right now
I swear to God, I just need you right now

[Chorus: Ash Leone]
I wish I could save your smile
I wish I could ease your mind like you have done for me
Mama, just stay awhile
Don't leave me like the tears that fall from my eyes
I'm not crazy at all
I'm not crazy at all
I'm not crazy at all
I'm not crazy at all

[Bridge: Ray Vaughn]
Mama, if you hear me, then I'm still your son
Even when the darkness comes, I won't run
I pray one day that you'll find your way back
And that your Shasta never goes flat

[Outro: Ray Vaughn]
I'm sorry for not noticin' sooner, you know I'm one of your troopers
Forgave you for everything, you only a fuckin' human
Remember we lived on Hoover? On church grounds, hallelujah
When you beat the shit out me for talkin' to you like I'm stupid
Used to work two jobs, but you don't work no more
I know you hurt, but I don't wanna see you hurt no more
I feel like dyin' or just killin' myself
Watchin' you lose your mind and can't do shit to help
Nigga, you done drank all my motherfuckin' Shastas?
Nigga, you over here, lettin' you sleep on the couch and you in this bitch drinkin' all my shit?
Nigga, if you don't go take your ass down to the motherfuckin' Dairy
