Dear mama, I hope your proud of me
I hope your proud of the things I have achieved
I hope your proud of the man you can come and see
Cuz mama I promise I'm going to make history

Life hasn't always been easy
These thoughts in my mind making me queasy
Not fitting in feeling like another species
When all I needed is for you to see me
For the man that I am
I promise mom that I have a plan
On my own two feet I can stand
I just hope you can understand

Dear mama, I hope your proud of me
I hope your proud of the things I have achieved
I hope your proud of the man you can come and see
Cuz mama I promise I'm leaving a legacy
Dear mama, I hope your proud of me
I hope your proud of the things I have achieved
I hope your proud of the man you can come and see
Cuz mama I promise I'm going to make history

I'm not sure if you know
I was bullied from grade 1 all the way through
Grade 9 making me feel black and blue
Barely holding myself together with glue
Every day I felt down and out
My heart going through a major drought
Being brought back down when I found a different route
Some days had me wanting to checkout
But I knew I could never give up
Even when my mind feeling corrupt
I had to buckle down and reconstruct
Who I was before my mind erupts
It was harder then I could imagine
Couldn't stop feeling like I had been abandoned
While everyone thought what I had was handed
To me by my parents but I never took them for granted

Dear mama, I hope your proud of me
I hope your proud of the things I have achieved
I hope your proud of the man you can come and see
Cuz mama I promise I'm leaving a legacy
Dear mama, I hope your proud of me
I hope your proud of the things I have achieved
I hope your proud of the man you can come and see
Cuz mama I promise I'm going to make history

I swear I'm trying every single day
I want things to be going a different way
There are situations and problems to which I can't say
A single word about and I'll take it to the grave
I'm sorry I've been absent in the recent time that has past
I just picked up the last piece from my heart of glass
Ensuring that my own mental health doesn't crash
It will get better I swear just not in a flash

Dear mama, I hope your proud of me
I hope your proud of the things I have achieved
I hope your proud of the man you can come and see
Cuz mama I promise I'm leaving a legacy
Dear mama, I hope your proud of me
I hope your proud of the things I have achieved
I hope your proud of the man you can come and see
Cuz mama I promise I'm going to make history
