I need help
I need guidance
I need peace I cant find it
I need family
I need violence
Hearing fighting is better than hearing silence
And after a million trials and fires here I am
Still trying
Feelings showing, I cant hide em
Feeling low so I get higher
Time just flows you can't rewind it
Just admire how it's flying
Days are hard
Came so far
From popping and pocketing candy bars we can't afford
But now it's art we aim for more
Are you as loved as you know?
How many thank you's thank you are you really owed?
How many hate you hate you that don't even know?
About the changes made to better your soul?
Sometimes you're beaten down, at the end of your rope
Sometimes you come out of it with a lesson and a little hope
How many days you gave your everything to those you gave you nothing?
How many punches you've eaten how many rings you've gotten up in?
Always strong mom
Always a strong mom
Too strong
From whatever f*ckin going on
Always strong mom
Always a strong mom
When I get upset
All depressed
Too stressed
It's always a long talks
You got my shoulder ma
I got your shoulder too
I can help you with that weight that's hanging over you
Let me help you with the moments that you helped me
Mama you'll be gorgeous, your a fighter, you'll be okay
How many years gone by?
How many tears gone dry?
How many years your lived?
How many years you fight?
How many fights you won?
How many eyes you dotted?
How many nights you caught in?
And how many good times you been offered?
How much silence?
How much f*cking pain
Have you known from where you come?
How many violent monsters
All under your bed when you were young
How many f*cking monsters want your smile now because your grown
How many got you
Really got you
When you fall out on your own
How many pills them doctors giving?
How many pills ain't just addicting
How many pills you take for nothing
How many drugs you made to smuggle
How many people value you
How many on your side
How many have you forgotten all bout
When you get in your mind?... like
Are you as loved as you know?
How many thank you's thank you are you really owed?
Sometimes you're beaten down, at the end of your rope
Sometimes you come out of it with a lesson and a little hope

Mama you'll be gorgeous, your a fighter, you'll be okay
Oh. you'll be okay
How many breathes you need but couldn't get
How many nights needed sleep but couldn't rest
How so called pipe dreams have you invested then saw successes in
Kids needs food kids needs clothes
Kids need money kids need hope
And kids need lessons and kids needs friends
Kids need love is what you give
Ups and downs
All in your life
What's up now

Mom gotta fight
Mom gotta pray
We all gotta fight
Are you as loved as you know?
How many thank you's, you really owed?
How many hate you don't even know?
About the changes made to your soul?
Sometimes you're beaten down, there's no hope
Sometimes you're tapping out its no jokes
How many days you gave your only ship to those who let you float?
How many punches you've eaten how many rings you've gotten up in?
How many times have you been strong when it was only you that suffered?
Always strong mom
