Been a long long road
Had no place that I called home
Get my backpack n I'm gone
Pray I make it where I'm goin'
Had some deaths hit close to home
Aye
Make you look at life a different way
Start to question what the teacher say
Felt neglected I refused to pray
May God forgive me for them days
Aye
Momma momma habibati
You don't know what you mean to me
I was young n you'd sing to me
Little memories cling to me
I thank God your husband treats you well
Between us both put you through hell
Amazing that you love us still
So let me make you a lil deal
I promise not to take a life
Unless I feel a threat on mine
I promise I will never steal
Unless my kids don't have a meal
I promise I will pray for you
N if you pass before I do
I'll do my best for the younger two
We all tied by the same womb
Wallahi Fisabilillah
I swear by God and I seek nothing in return but to please him
My love
Been a long long road
Had no place that I called home
Get my backpack n I'm gone
Pray I make it where I'm goin'
Had some deaths hit close to home
Aye
Make you look at life a different way
Start to question what the teacher say
Felt neglected I refused to pray
May God forgive me for them days
Aye
Trying times that shit weighs heavy
Thinking back to when she left me
Hidden blessing
I know you've changed n this is not the same you
Just reflectin' back to what I've came through
Learned that life will humble you
Ain't spoke in a month or two
I locked myself up in a room
Twenty two I had think it through
Ain't got no time for no more faulty moves
I took the girls n you took luke
Damn lukie duke
Yea you know I love him too aye
Split the house up caused us both to stress
I know I caused a pain inside your chest
But we just did what we had thought was best
And to God, we left the rest
I pray there's always barakah (Goodness) in my nea (Intention)
Been a long long road
Had no place that I called home
Get my backpack n I'm gone
Pray I make it where I'm goin'
Had some deaths hit close to home
Aye
Make you look at life a different way
Start to question what the teacher say
Felt neglected I refused to pray
May God forgive me for them days
Aye
