Yo Yo Ma

INTRO:
Word to your mother, say word to your mother
Word to your mother, say word to your mother
I won't let you down....

ACUMENTAL:
Yo, it's like this...
From a dirt road and pink bricks
To a fur coat and sleek kicks
We can dream big, no sleep, throwing darts at the bar
Sharp shootin like it's seal team six... shit
You were adopted and I coulda been too but you raised me amazing
I pray i can do the same for my baby, maybe start dating and meet my soul mate and make her my lady
Cause i know you wanna see me settle down
But i been creepin on the prowl
Leap into the sky, mile high, like an eagle in the cloud
When I play I wanna see you in the crowd... proud of me
Theres no doubt when you take your last breath
Ill hold a cigarette to your lips if you wish, just ask
And speak this rap acapella if the disc gets scratched..
Cause when I fought and lost, i was taught to wash the pain away and heal when I walk the dogs
Yo yo ma, pose for the photo op, I'll pour another Disaronno shot, the flow dont stop
No guap but you made ends meet so when i make it to the Grammys I'll save you a seat
Right next to me, i been blessed so expect to see me thank you in my acceptance speech fasho
You're so gracious...
Even wrote a poem and every quotes an ode to your greatness
You can feel the soul in my vocals ma' so when the Coda's over, keep Cadence
The beat changes, the sweet fragrance lingers, breath deep, repeat the blunt truth
I love you...up to the sky and with all my heart because without you I'd fall apart

TERMINAL KNOWLEDGE:
Like I'm sayin
I just wanna thank you for raising me right
And im ashamed...been lying to your face everyday of my life
And the spark to the flame, from the flame to the fire it ignites
Find me getting high in the basement, you ain't trip cause time the only thing turn day into night
And it ain't like its supposed to be, wonder into a maze and pray that I find the exit
My momma is a saint, my father is an athiest
I'm hollerin at satan cause he got me on the waiting list
The pot boils over, slow burn
The childs only concern is their own turn
Dad turned mom into a single parent while my ass burnt out, incoherent on the couch
Now I'm sorry that I wasn't empathetic instead of just pathetic
My momma hardly ever get the credit she deserves so forever I'm indebted to her
Never ever sweat it, it never ends
After the second wedding... daddy left again like
Shame on who? deja vu, say it with me now
Ode to ma dukes...

BRIDGE:
I won't let you down, I won't give up
I won't let you down cause you never gave up on me
(I just wanna thank you for raising me right)
I won't let you down, I won't give up
I won't let you down cause you never gave up on me
(time the only thing turn day into night)

Word to your mother, say word to your mother
Word to your mother, say word to your mother
