Plies - Runnin' My Momma Crazy lyrics

Hey mama
(hey mama) know I ain't never tell you this
Befo' (I ain't never tell you this befo') but it really
Hurt me knowin' I'm runnin' you crazy
(know I'm runnin'
Ya crazy) i wanna talk to ya real quick
(wanna talk to ya mama)

My momma told me while I run
These streets she can't sleep
Her phone ring late at night she
Think somethin' happened to me
Her nerves so bad right now
She can't even watch TV
She turn her head everytime
She see the police
She scared to look cause it might
Be me in the back seat
Whenever she hear about a shootin'
Her heart skip a beat
She heard the feds was in
Town her knees got weak
She know I'm at the house the
Only time she at peace
Her blood pressure through the roof
All because of me
Her favorite words is "dope ain't
The only way to eat"
She told me the other day she hope
I don't die in these streets
I just pray to God she don't
Wipe her hands wit' me

I'm a goon to the streets but to
My momma I'm still her baby
Raised a street nigga by yaself you
A hell of a lady
Shit Im doin' now got nothin' to
Do wit' how you raised me
Shit killin' me to know I'm
Runnin' my momma crazy
Goon to the streets but to my
Momma I'm still her baby
Raised a street nigga by yaself you
A hell of a lady
Shit Im doin' now got nothin' to
Do wit' how you raised me
Shit killin' me to know I'm
Runnin' my momma crazy

Remember the nights me sittin' up
In a cold cell
I'm wakin' ya up out'cha sleep it's
Me callin' you from jail
You ain't say it but I know
Inside you mad as hell
You called off from work just to
Bond me out of jail
I get in trouble I call you
Seem like it never fail
Can hear you now "boy you need
To sit ya ass down somewhere"
I come and eat I take a
Shower then I'm out of there
I know I'm stressin' ya at times
Seem like I don't care
You wrote bad checks for me
To have somethin' to wear
You risked ya freedom for me
Nowadays that's real rare
Everytime I think about the shit
I wanna shed a tear
That's why I buy ya somethin'
For Father's Day every year

I'm a goon to the streets but to
My momma I'm still her baby
Raised a street nigga by yaself you
A hell of a lady
Shit Im doin' now got nothin' to
Do wit' how you raised me
Shit killin' me to know I'm
Runnin' my momma crazy
Goon to the streets but to my
Momma I'm still her baby
Raised a street nigga by yaself you
A hell of a lady
Shit Im doin' now got nothin' to
Do wit' how you raised me
Shit killin' me to know I'm
Runnin' my momma crazy

You did the best you could wit' me
And I love you for that
Wanted me to stay in school but that
Ain't where my heart was at
I got exposed to the streets and
Fell in love wit' stacks
And all the times I hurt you
Wish I could take it back
When daddy left us you stepped
Up and took his slack
I know I'm selfish and feelin's is
Somethin' I know I lack
The shit I'm doin' now I know
You raised me better than that
You showed me how to be a man
And showed me how to act
Sometimes I wonder how you still
Proud I'm ya son
After all the stuff I took ya through
And all the shit I done
Well like ya told me when God
Want me how I can't run
Before he take me want you to know
How much I love ya mom

I'm a goon to the streets but to
My momma I'm still her baby
Raised a street nigga by yaself you
A hell of a lady
Shit Im doin' now got nothin' to
Do wit' how you raised me
Shit killin' me to know I'm
Runnin' my momma crazy
Goon to the streets but to my
Momma I'm still her baby
Raised a street nigga by yaself you
A hell of a lady
Shit Im doin' now got nothin' to
Do wit' how you raised me
Shit killin' me to know I'm
Runnin' my momma crazy

Think I'm speakin' for every street
Nigga 'round the world i
Don't think we sit down long
Enough sometimes just to
Realize what we takin' our momma through
It hurt me to know
Dog that I'm runnin' my momma
Crazy and it's really
Killin' me to know that I'm
Helpin' killin' my momma
