Killer Mike, Eryn Allen Kane - MOTHERLESS lyrics
[Killer Mike, Eryn Allen Kane - MOTHERLESS lyrics]
Ooh ooh
My mama dead (My mama dead)
My grandmama dead (Dead) to keep it honest
I get depressed and be feelin' scared
(Sometimes, I)
You see, I won't prepare it (yeah)
And never will be (Never will be)
To think about your destiny, sometimes
It kill me (Sometimes, I)
You won't believe it, mama
I achieved it, mama
I turned these hatin' ass
People to believers, mama
(Sometimеs, I)
A Black boy born to a teen mama, mama
Disregarded as a leadеr by his people, mama
(Sometimes, I) if God set me back to normal
To be next to you
I would gladly trade it all
'cause I be missin' you (Some, sometimes, I)
I be missin' huggin' you, I miss kissin' you
I miss all the jewels and I
Miss all your wisdom too
(Some, some, sometimes, I)
Some days, I be mean as fuck
And I be meaner too (Oh, oh, oh)
Fussin', fightin' over fuck shit
That be minuscule (Sometimes, I)
Shay and Taj tell me that's
Just the Denice in you (I need you, mother)
And then send both your daughters
Mikey and Anniah too
Sometimes, I feel
Motherless (Mother, mother)
My mama dead (My mama dead, I need you)
Her mama dead (Her mama dead)
Her mama died in my arms
My ma said that wasn't fair
(Oh, mother, mother)
Her mama raised me, I told her she crazy
(Sometimes, I need ya)
She told me, "One day, I'm
Gon' be gone, Micheal, you gon' see"
(Mother, mother) "That my mama wanted you
But you belong to me" (Amen, sometimes)
And you don't understand the sacrifice
That took from me (Amen, sometimes, I feel)
Like, pullin' up on Sunday nights
Just to tell you I apologize, and mama
You was right
(I need you, sometimes, I feel)
Like a hole in my heart
(Pray for me) , and I wanna call the Lord
But, I don't know where to start
Sometimes, I feel (You used to pray for me)
Motherless (Oh, oh)
My mama dead my grandmama dead (Mama)
I miss 'em so much, sometimes
I just cry and hold my head (Mama, mama)
They left the world of man
Like me and make sure all prepared
(Sometimes) to live a life to make sure my
Wife ain't gon' beg for bread
(Sometimes, I need you)
I got an altar in my home
To honor both of 'em (Mother)
Just this mornin', I was smokin'
Smoked to both of 'em
(Sometimes, I need you)
I asked my Betty for her
Prayers over my generation (Mother)
And I asked Niecy
"Keep me through my trials and tribulations"
(Sometimes)
Death'll come like thief in night
And steal your joy away (And sometimes)
Have you askin', "God, why
You forsake your boy, today?"
(I said, "Sometimes")
Is this a blessing or a curse
Or just some other shit? (Sometimes, I need)
No matter what
I'm numb as fuck 'cause I'm still motherless
(You)
My mama dead
My grandmama dead (Sometimes, I need you)
My mama dead my grandmama dead
Sometimes, I feel (You used to pray for me)
Motherless (Oh, oh) my mama dead
My grandmama dead (Mama, mama, mama)
Sometimes (O oh)
Sometimes, I need you, mother (O oh)
Sweet (Sometimes) sweet
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet, sweet denice, sweet
Hmm hmm hmm
Sweet, sweet, sweet denice
Sweet mama
