I can't fake it so let me say it
Imma be real let's start when I was in blankets
Mama so young still a teenager with two kids
One not in her nature half black baby
Shit so crazy we was in the south that's a reputation
She was there to take it
Nothing separating her from her babies
So if it wasn't for that lady that I call my mom
And the times she worked two jobs
If it wasn't for the times she had to sacrifice being young
When niggas came and played you dumb left your feelings numb
The money didn't come
She wasn't giving up
Now I'm growing up
Seeing all you done and I'm just proud to say that I'm your son
So my father wasn't in the picture
Mother really had no mister
At this time it was me
Me and my bigger sister
I forgot where was living probably somewhere out of Memphis
Then we had to do some switching
We moved out to Mississippi
That's when you met Ashanti y'all got married had a party
Then had Adrianna and then Alaina followed
And after y'all had a couple problems
That n' is a b' and when I say it
It ain't hard to swallow
Four kids back on your own after that it wasn't too long
We were living at grandma's home
Then another home we was on the road
Then in the vineyards in O.B
That's when shit really changed for sure
I was getting old
The babies is getting old
You was on your own
Then Larry came
And shit was not the same
Not the richest man
But the love was there it was clear as day
He even took me to get my Mama's wedding ring
And then two more babies came
I'm thankful for that mane cause he's stayed through everything
And that's why I'm here standing where I am today
Mama look how far we came
After all these kids you raised
One of them got to put on a cape
And get major paid no more rainy days
Imma bigger mane if life a maze watch me escape
So if it wasn't for that lady that I call my mom
And the times she worked two jobs
If it wasn't for the times she had to sacrifice being young
When niggas came and played you dumb left your feelings numb
The money didn't come
