Genevieve

[Intro]
I just wanted to say hello, tell you that I love you
And to be positive today, work on your art
And just know that I’m very supportive and happy, excited about your art
Bye baby, love you
Mama this one's for you

[Verse 1]
I’ve been on my own for too long
Said one day I’d make it at that table with no food on
Dealing with the pain and all the people I’ma prove wrong
Can’t get too caught up within the past I had to move on
Lost my faith and trust and now the Devil’s tugging too strong
One day at a time was still a pressure just to live
It’s dangerous when you out there in the field, you could get killed
Trying to survive since I was just a little kid
I’m living but the difference is I have no fuck to give
But Mama bore a hustler
Mama bore a fighter and like her I am a warrior
Speak like Mama loves you, turn your nothing’s into somethings
Let nobody rise above you and let nothing overcome you
That’s the truth

[Hook]
Yeah that’s the truth, that’s the truth, that’s the truth
That’s the truth, that’s the truth, yeah that’s the truth, nigga
That’s the truth, that’s the truth, that’s the truth
Yeah that’s the truth, that’s the truth, that’s the truth
Yeah that’s the truth, that’s the truth, that’s the truth
Yeah and that’s the truth

[Verse 2]
Tears back then were shed, nothing more nothing less
Keeping a leveled head while Mama was in a threat
Fuck that hospital bed, just beat that cancer again
Go out and make new amends, pop bottles with your girlfriends
Don’t live your life on weekends, live your life til it ends
Success is the best revenge but no one cares when your dead
And that’s the truth, nigga, so who the fuck is you?
I have nothing else to lose so if you pull it better shoot with it, nigga
Mom, I live for me and you, they don’t know what we’ve been through
Slept on floors in living rooms, so for you I do salute
Hope one day I make it through, send you half a mil or two
And I hope to see you soon, that’s the truth Mama

[Hook]
Yeah that’s the truth, that’s the truth, that’s the truth
That’s the truth, that’s the truth, yeah that’s the truth, nigga
That’s the truth, that’s the truth, that’s the truth
Yeah that’s the truth, that’s the truth, that’s the truth
Yeah that’s the truth, that’s the truth, that’s the truth
Yeah and that’s the truth

[Outro]
You have the capacity to fail, my son, successfully fail
But you also have the capacity to shine super bright
And sometimes you have to go through shit to write from a deep place, to write real
But you don’t have to do that, baby
I need you to fuckin focus right now
Because what you do from now until the next year
Will dictate, symbolically, how life is gonna play out for the next 20 years
And I need you to know how to stand and survive
