Truth is
It hurt me not to tell you goodbye
I promise not to tell you a lie
Every night I want to break down and cry
But I have to get by
For you I have to survive
I never thought I do this alone
Salute you Ma
You made it work on your own
I never thought that I would have to see you leave
But for now I guess I just got to breathe
2015 that year did it for me
Lost my brother to the system on some false charges
My momma baby
Only boy
He was bout to make it
Gotta help her get through this shit
Ma you got to shake it
A family torn apart by certain allegations
Watched you spend your last
Just so he be safe
But family still f*cked him
Then try to play great
Counterfeit stories
Then smile in your face
He smiled the whole time
Yea he had faith
But behind him was his momma who wasn't doing great
Couldn't help her baby boy
Started feeling hate
Locked her heart tight
She slowly fades away
Truth is
It hurt me not to tell you goodbye
I promise not to tell you a lie
Every night I want to break down and cry
But I have to get by
For you I have to survive
I never thought I'd do this alone
Salute you Ma
You made it work on your own
I never thought that I would have to see you leave
But for now I guess I just got to breathe
October 20th hit me harder than most
Lady singing to my heart
Then all a sudden I'm cold
My sister call me moments later screaming Dee Dee she gone
Had to run around the building to wake my brain to the news
Did she really just leave
What the f*ck did she do
Dont you know you got three kids out here depending on you
Who gone give us advice
Wipe our tears and ease your pain
Let us know when we wrong
But still love us the same
Help us reach all our goals
Shower our hearts with your praise
Taking pics with no warning
Telling the world our real names
How I support my lil brother without your wisdom embraced
What do I do with my lil sister when she go through a phase
Will I be selfish if I ask God to see you again
Give you a hug
Hold on to your hand
The shit I hated most man I just want it again
My heartbeat
My life line
My momma and friend
Truth is
It hurt me not to tell you goodbye
I promise not to tell you a lie
Every night I want to break down and cry
But I have to get by
For you I have to survive
I never thought I'd do this alone
Salute you Ma
You made it work on your own
I never thought that I would have to see you leave
But for now I guess I just got to breathe
