Fashawn - Mother lyrics
[Fashawn - Mother lyrics]
(yeah, uh, hit me) what Up, Ex?
Ayo I just wanna talk
About something real quick
This one right here, it's kinda like-
It's kinda like a love song
You know what I'm sayin?
It sorta hurts though
Bear with me check it out
Raised three snotty nosed kids on your own
We never had a house, we always had a home
At least when you were there
Half the time you was gone
I tried to cook my own supper
Burnt my hand on the stove
I had clothes, what I needed
But never what I wanted
First day of school I stunted
Cause you went out and hunted
Got me the latest toy
And no matter how old I get
I'm still your baby boy
Somehow you stayed employed
And never worked a 9-to-5
And never wondered why
Black queen, crack fiend
All the while you was high
Hardly ever wiped my tears
Never let you see me cry
Not one man in the house
So that spot I occupied
How could I not acknowledge your work?
A Mason jar used to steal the
Dollars out of her purse
It breaks my heart to see
You struggle with your addiction
And still I care for you
Despite all of the drama
I'll always be there for you
You are everything and anything to me
Little lady, can't you see? You are
You're my momma, and I'm your son
Thank God, cause he only gave us one
You remember that night
I took your glass pipe
Threw it against the street light
You probably might
I thought saved your life, Tasha called CPS
Big sis was fed up
With her mama, tried to visit
But they usually didn't let her
Life could have been worse and
Life could have been better
Loved her unconditionally
Since the day that we met her
At the parent and teacher meetings
You might have never seen her
Still, she gave me life
Guess that's why they call her Vida
I been to two of your weddings
None of them guys still around
How can I mirror that
How could I let you down
Even though you left me home alone
For nights at a time
I'm shedding tears as I'm reciting each line
Apparently, it's never too young to
Become a parent for some
Had me at 15 going on 21
Had an older sister even had an older brother
Met a lot of men and women but
There's no one like my mother
Ayo I just wanna talk
About something real quick
This one right here, it's kinda like-
It's kinda like a love song
You know what I'm sayin?
It sorta hurts though
Bear with me check it out
Raised three snotty nosed kids on your own
We never had a house, we always had a home
At least when you were there
Half the time you was gone
I tried to cook my own supper
Burnt my hand on the stove

But never what I wanted

Cause you went out and hunted
Got me the latest toy
And no matter how old I get
I'm still your baby boy
Somehow you stayed employed
And never worked a 9-to-5
