Voicemail

I’m not perfect I’m not perfect I’m not even close
I was raised by 3 women kept me on me toes
And my father left for months had to get the dough
Up north surveying roads in the winter snow
So as a young kid I didn’t see him much
Getting raised by 3 women wasn’t easy but
It helped me see the world with a proper vision
Katey better at debating then Hillary Clinton
And Amanda always making it harder to sneak out
With my homies drinking beers puffing some sativa
And they always stuck beside me supported the rapping
But if I called a girl bitch they would bitch slap me
Man I love you 2 girls you made me into a man
And now I’m blowin' up your phone every time that I can
Like what you doing when you gonna come and go see ya brother
I’m sending love LA use this song as letter
Funny no matter how far we always come together
And now you girls grown up and you brilliant as ever
I was raised by women, give my praise to women
So this songs dedicated to todays new women
And to our momma how you make thru all of this shit
We was too young to even understand what you did
You define strong woman taught us to be strong
So when it hit the fan you acted like ain’t nothing was wrong
Always instilled in ya kids to follow our heart
And if we stick together we never falling apart
I remember hearing wine glasses breaking down stairs
You and daddy fighting maybe a little impaired but
You was kids when you married you was kids when you had us
I’m so proud that you found my step dad cause he happens
To be someone in my life that taught me more than my own did
Marke I never mention you in my songs so I’ma own this
You make my mom happy — never seen her so perfect
Turning 60 this year — living a life that she’s deserving
I was raised by women
Give my praise to women
So this songs dedicated to todays new women
You my rock and you my sun yea you my brightest light
I could never picture me without you in my life
My pen could never find the perfect words for me to write
How I feel about the woman I chose for my wife
When my poppa passed I couldn’t look you in the eye
You had patience when I didn’t and you gave me time
Now I’ma give you everything that I have inside
Got on a knee for 1 of 5 times I’ve seen you cry
I remember when I met ya I was like
Do like J. Cole you like who’s dat
I found that shit so funny asked you what you listen to
You replied Beyonce and it ended at that
And since that moment I knew what I wanted
You taught me the power of being honest
I was raised by women
Give my praise to women
So this songs dedicated to todays new women
