Fredo - Love You For That lyrics

Ayy yo, mommy it's my first album
You know I had to do something for you
Real street niggas know, man
Sometimes out here, it's like
All you got's your gun and your mom
Real shit

Mom, I know I was a bad kid
But I thought I'd never have shit
The olders made the packs flip and
I liked how they had it
You really tried your best, mom
I love you for that
Never flushed away my pebs, mom
I love you for that
Wrote me letters in the pen
I wanna hug you for that
Told me watch out for my friends
You know I trust you with that
Any time that we got raided
You felt under attack
But you always let me come back, mom
I love you for that

It feels good to know I'm makin' you proud
To know I'm makin' you smile
Now you can be proud when
You say I'm your child
Not to mention, I just made an account
There's no more losses when
They're raidin' me now
But I can't lie, though
I been paid for a while
Mom, I'm sorry for them times
I didn't never listen
I missed all my GCSEs when I went to prison
I know you hated that
And I wish that I could take it back
But school, I never stayed in that
'Cause it wasn't payin' man
I know that you were stressed when I left
But I had pebs in the ends
And you wanted Fred in by 10
That wouldn't work out
My whole block knows I didn't
Get here the easy way
Damn, I'm coolin' on remand 'til
I beat the case
I still spend four bills a month
To keep my beater safe
My workers spend a whole hour
Coolin' at the meetin' place
Now I'm phonin', lookin' for my box just
Like my pizza's late
You brought me into life and
I wasn't livin' right

Mom, I know I was a bad kid
But I thought I'd never have shit
The olders made the packs flip and
I liked how they had it
You really tried your best, mom
I love you for that
Never flushed away my pebs, mom
I love you for that
Wrote me letters in the pen
I wanna hug you for that
Told me watch out for my friends
You know I trust you with that
Any time that we got raided
You felt under attack
But you always let me come back, mom
I love you for that

Look at how times have changed
Went from ridin' trains
Now I'm buyin' diamond chains
Yo, I think our lives are saved
Damn, I'm sorry for the stress
Plus I'm sorry for the jail visit's
I'm sorry for the feds
I'm sorry for the kitchen knives
I'm sorry for the pebs not to mention
Sorry for them promises never kept
Like goin' back to prison
We used to tell my little bro
"I'm goin' on a mission"
He's older now, so we ain't gotta trick him
But you raised him right
And I'm sorry for them times
You wait late at night
Just to hear your son reach
Home from his crazy life
Any time them feds came
Arrestin' me for stabbings
You'd be questioned, did I stab them?
I'd just say it was the mandem
I remember when you finally
Accepted I was trappin'
And said I should invest it into fashion
I was hella shocked
'Cause you know that from a young
Age I was gettin' guap
But you would still watch with some hope
That I would get a job
We weren't the young niggas
The OGs could go send to shop
The OGs used to give us burners
Then we'd let 'em pop
Have you ever set up shop and
Then end up in a box?
And by the time you come home
Man the line can't even sell a rock

Ayy, but mommy i need to make sure you heard
What I was sayin' to you, mom
Listen

Mom, I know I was a bad kid
But I thought I'd never have shit
The olders made the packs flip and
I liked how they had it
You really tried your best, mom
I love you for that
Never flushed away my pebs, mom
I love you for that
Wrote me letters in the pen
I wanna hug you for that
Told me watch out for my friends
You know I trust you with that
Any time that we got raided
You felt under attack
But you always let me come back, mom
I love you for that
