DEAR MOMA
When I was young me n my Moma had beef 17 years old kicked out on da streets, the back at tha time
I never though I see her face, aint oh woman alive that could take my mama's place, suspended from school,
scared ta go home, I was a foolin wit tha big boys breakin all the rules, I shed tears wit my baby girls, over
tha years we was bored enough as lil kids, and even know we had different Dadies, the same drama when
things went wrong we blamed Moma, I reminice on tha stress I caused. It was hell, hugin on my Moma
from tha jail cell, and who think in Elementery, Heyyyy I see the penetentery one day runnin from da police
dat's right, Moma catch me put a whoopin to my backside.
I finally understand it aint easy tryin ta raise ah man. You always was comited, a poor single mother on wellfair,
tell me how you did it. Theres no way I can pay ya back, bu tha plan is to show ya that I unerstand.
Now aint nobody tell us it was fair, no love for my dady cus tha coward wasent there, he passssed awway
and I didnt cry cuz my anger whouldent let me feel 4 a stranger, they say I'm wrong and heartless, but all along
I was lookin 4 ah father he was gone . . . . I hung with tha thugs, and even knew they sold drugs, they showed a
young brotha love, I moved out started petty bangin, I needed money of my own so I started slangin. I ain't guilty
uz even tho I sell rocks it feels good putin money in the mail box. I love payin rent when the rents due, I hope you
got that diamond necklace that I sent to ya. Cuz when I was low you where there for me and never left me alone
becuse you cared for me, and I could see you comin home after work late ya in the kitchen tryin to fix us a hot plate,
you just workin with the sraps we where givin, and Moma made miracles everey thanksgiving, but now the road
got ruff feel alone, tryin to raise 2 bad kids on your own, and theres no way I can pay ya back but my plan is to
show ya that I understand
Pour out som liqour and I reminice cuz through the drama I could always depend on my Moma, and when it seems
that I'm hopeless you say the words that get me back in focus when I was sick as a litle kid to keep me happy theres
no limit to the things you did, and all my child hood memoriess, are full of all the shit that we went through and even
tho I act crazy, I ota thank tha lord that ya made me there are no words that can express now I feel, you never kept a
secret alwayt kept it real, and I apreciate how a raisssed me and all the extra luv that a gave me
I wish I could take the pain away If you can make it through the night theres a brightre day, evereything all be allright if
ya hollld ooon! It's oh struggle evereyday we gota roll on thees no way I can pay ya back but my planis to show you that
I understand
