Yaya Bey - the root of a thing lyrics
[Yaya Bey - the root of a thing lyrics]
My mama was a baby when she had me
Just like my daddy
My mama lost her mama to the sky
And sometimes, you can see it in her eyes
And sometimes, you can smell it on her breath
Sometimes, she get to talking with her chest
'Cause sometimes
The world don't do you right
The love don't hold you tight
The home ain't there at night
I guess that's why
We walk by faith and not by sight
'Cause what you see'll have you fucked up
Believing that your luck's up
My mama left at three months
Took thirty years to trust her
Took thirty yеars to muster
The empathy to wondеr
The ways the world had fucked her
Took thirty years to love her, shit
Surely, surely, I'm my mama's child
'Cause surely, surely
I'm out here running wild
And, damn, my nigga
You just won't settle down
Guess what goes around comes
Right back around, and
Damn, I feel it now
But I got my walls up but I got my walls up
I really, really wanna love you
But I got my walls up but I got my walls up
I really, really wanna love you
I never seen my daddy treat a woman good
I don't know what it's
Like to be understood, shit
My daddy don't like no woman
Who don't look good
My daddy don't like no woman
Who don't cook good
My daddy don't like no woman who gain weight
My daddy ain't like no woman, he don't stay
And he'll never understand the pain
That's why I got my walls up
I really, really wanna love you
But I got my walls up
But I got my walls up, but I got my
(I really, really wanna love you)
Baby, baby, baby, it ain't right
(But I got my)
I really, really wanna love you but I got my
Baby, baby, baby, it ain't right
(But I got my walls up, but I got my)
Just like my daddy
My mama lost her mama to the sky
And sometimes, you can see it in her eyes
And sometimes, you can smell it on her breath
Sometimes, she get to talking with her chest
'Cause sometimes
The world don't do you right
The love don't hold you tight
The home ain't there at night
I guess that's why
We walk by faith and not by sight
'Cause what you see'll have you fucked up
Believing that your luck's up
My mama left at three months
Took thirty years to trust her
Took thirty yеars to muster
The empathy to wondеr
The ways the world had fucked her
Took thirty years to love her, shit
Surely, surely, I'm my mama's child
'Cause surely, surely
I'm out here running wild
And, damn, my nigga
You just won't settle down
Guess what goes around comes
Right back around, and
Damn, I feel it now
But I got my walls up but I got my walls up
I really, really wanna love you
But I got my walls up but I got my walls up
I really, really wanna love you
I never seen my daddy treat a woman good
I don't know what it's

My daddy don't like no woman
Who don't look good
My daddy don't like no woman

My daddy don't like no woman who gain weight
My daddy ain't like no woman, he don't stay
And he'll never understand the pain
That's why I got my walls up
I really, really wanna love you
But I got my walls up
But I got my walls up, but I got my
(I really, really wanna love you)
Baby, baby, baby, it ain't right
(But I got my)
I really, really wanna love you but I got my
Baby, baby, baby, it ain't right
(But I got my walls up, but I got my)
