| I remember When I was young my momma said she was goin out
|
| You see the problem is she was always going out
|
| Grandma mad cuz my mama left us in the house
|
| She was grown but granny thought she was showin out
|
| Know you sayin damn they ain’t shit to be mad to
|
| My momma told me well that she did what she had to
|
| But see I ain’t like that she was datin the bad dudes
|
| So everytime she went out I gave her an attitude
|
| Yeah I was straight throwin a tantrum
|
| Try to mess up her plans I was hopin she cancel
|
| But ain’t nobody told her what she could and she can’t do
|
| Yeah ma I was a handful so yeah
|
| I cried and I cried and I tried to show her my said
|
| But she wasn’t hearin her kid took the key to the crib
|
| Out the door she wavin bye bye
|
| She had me thinking that my tears meant nothin'
|
| Years later found out it means something
|
| You see all those nights mama left me alone
|
| I had to learn how to stand on my own (2 feet)
|
| Don’t cry don’t cry don’t cry it’ll be alright
|
| You only get one chance to live yo life
|
| Up and down homie enjoy yo ride
|
| And don’t cry don’t cry don’t cry it’ll be alright
|
| You only get one chance to live yo life
|
| Up and down homie enjoy yo ride (don't cry because it’s okay)
|
| So now I’m grown up rap performer
|
| Give thanks to the mirror where I practiced so much
|
| Thats to my grandma after so much
|
| Sacrifice I feel so loved
|
| And this is to my auntie ann cuz I be damned
|
| If I ever said can’t when I probly can
|
| To my brother my blood my right hand man
|
| Won’t hesitate to put my life in yo hands
|
| And this is to my young sis 2 cuz nothing could stop you
