Oh mama
Oh how I love you mama
Oh mama
Oh how I love you mama
Oh how I love you mama
Hey mama you inspired this rhythm and blues
Like Kanye when I was young received some bad news
You passed away while I was gone in Texas
Didn't hit me until the next day during breakfast
Cause there was no hot cooked meal
I stared in disbelief my bowl of cold cereal
I couldn't believe my mama was really gone
The house wasn't the same so we uprooted our home
I moved locations and I moved schools
My whole life turned upside down, was so confused
I didn't care about the answer to 2 plus 2
I just wanted the answer to where was you
Everybody always saying oh it must be rough
Expected me to move on , assumed I was tough
But they had no clue , they had no idea
How crazy I went without my madea
Growing up I thought nobody on this planet knew
How hard it was at night crying & missing you
Used to walk around mad & bitter at the world
And I Couldn't stay committed with my past girls
I couldn't love , and acted like I really didn't care
Couldn't come to grips with you not really being here
Showed no emotions, had no feelings inside
F*ck cancer took my mom when I was barely five
No faith in religion, because I blamed the gods
Would've cursed them if I wasn't scared of lightning rods
Disguised the pain to everybody, acting straight facade
Playing happy to my family living like a fraud
Never really spoke to anybody how I felt
Learned from trial and error , running from the belt
Had nobody to seek out during some drama
So I said sent another prayer up like hey mama
I Still remember how you taught me how to tie my shoes
I sat up on your lap & you taught me the little groove
You know the one with the rabbit ears, and the twist
Man sometimes its still hurts to sit & reminisce
But understand mom that you've taught me quite a lot
Even though I was 5 mom I never forgot
That scripture on my first day of kindergarten
I think my next tatt will read gone but not forgotten
Or should it be that chapter 22 and 6 scripture
Or should it be a mural of me and your only picture
And I know it's been a while since I brought you flowers
I'm ashamed to admit i've lost track of the hours
I've just been focused, tryna get it daily best I can
Living right , following the lord's up highs plan
Just know i love you mom and please continue to pray
When I see you I'ma scream hey mama like Kanye
