Letter To My Mama

[Chorus]
This a letter to my mama, lord knows I miss you
You was my everything, I can never forget you
Reminiscing 'bout the times that I had with you
I was too young to understand, I just wish I would've knew, yeah
This a letter to my mama, lord knows I miss you
You was my everything, I can never forget you
Reminiscing 'bout the times that I had with you
I was too young to understand, I just wish I would've knew, yeah

[Verse 1]
2006, my mama died out the blue
Knew she was sick, but I was young, ain't have a clue
It was just me and my brother shootin' hoops
By his daddy house, until my Auntie Deborah came through
Got in the car, she start cryin' then tell us the bad news
Ever since that day it fucked me up, from me to you
I wish I could've spent more time with her instead of school
It ain't nothin' like that mama love and you know that's the truth
She took me everywhere, and I was the baby too
Plus my daddy in the feds 'cause he was out there chasin' loot
You don't know how I feel, on everything I was confused
That's when I started smokin' reggie heavy, on the moon
My brother was 11, I was 8, we had to move
Stayin' with my Auntie Deborah, sleepin' in the same room
I done came a long way, I pray to God I'll never lose
I hope I make my mama proud of me, that's all I want to do, yeah

[Chorus]
This a letter to my mama, lord knows I miss you
You was my everything, I can never forget you
Reminiscing 'bout the times that I had with you
I was too young to understand, I just wish I would've knew, yeah
This a letter to my mama, lord knows I miss you
You was my everything, I can never forget you
Reminiscing 'bout the times that I had with you
I was too young to understand, I just wish I would've knew, yeah

[Verse 2]
Ma let me apologize, 'cause I know that I been livin' wrong
I just want to live happily and put my people on
I ain't wanna be trappin' in them streets, out there servin' stones
But ma I got attached to the cheese, can't leave that dope alone
Tryna buy my brother a new car and my auntie a home
I'm sorry I ain't been to church in months, ma I been goin' strong
One day I'ma get myself together and put down that chrome
Right now I gotta keep it, they be hating 'cause your baby on
I'ma make it out and I ain't stoppin' 'til the day I'm gone
All I speak is facts when I step up to that microphone
Ain't know how to act, my people been tellin' me I was grown
But I ain't wanna hear it, the crazy part, she knew it all along
Had to go and get it, two pair of tennys ain't gon' last me long
I'm sick of going to school with them same dirty J's on
Ma, I was tired of eating noodles, wanted filet mignon
I know you disappointed, that's the reason that I made this song

[Chorus]
This a letter to my mama, lord knows I miss you
You was my everything, I can never forget you
Reminiscing 'bout the times that I had with you
I was too young to understand, I just wish I would've knew, yeah
This a letter to my mama, lord knows I miss you
You was my everything, I can never forget you
Reminiscing 'bout the times that I had with you
I was too young to understand, I just wish I would've knew, yeah
