Mama don't wanna let you down
Wanna see your smile and you never frown
In the summer that is when I let you go
I just want you to know you're still part of my soul
Mama you told me to always forgive
God it's hard to live like this
But I will not let you down
I know you still hearing me (yeah)
And no one's gonna see me like you (yeah, yeah)
Why didn't you stay for me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I know you had to leave
And my momma said, "Why'd you have to do these drugs"
"Won't you find a hobby and just rise above?"
She said, "If you're on the road you'll end up in handcuffs"
And I didn't give no f*cks, so I ended up locked up
I know cause' I see it now
Demons surrounded me they held me down
But I defeated them you would be proud of me
Mama don't wanna let you down
Wanna see your smile and you never frown
In the summer that is when I let you go
I just want you to know you're still part of my soul
Mama you told me to always forgive
God it's hard to live like this
But I will not let you down
I know you still hearing me (yeah)
And no one's gonna see me like you (yeah, yeah)
Why didn't you stay for me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I know you had to leave
