[Verse 1]
I was that kid growing up wonderin' who daddy was
Why'd he never come around, huh? Ma?
All kindsa questions i would ask her
Na
I wasn't ready for the answers no, no
To grandma's house we'd go/
Grandpa's passed out on the floor drunk
So we'd tip toe
We didn't wanna wake the animal (Uh)
Telly's barely loud enough to hear our cartoons over cereal
Hah ha
Franky's outside
Screaming at his
Mother like she's more than capable of paying rent as well as putting more than food up on the table, what he wanted was a stereo for his cassеttes
While lil' sisters on thе NEBBY in a trailer full of smoke tho
Grandma was in the kitchen doing dishes getting all emotional over it
[Chorus: Heather Melcher]
Sometimes it's gon' pour but it can't rain forevahhh
Sometimes the sun gon' shine but we'll still run for shelter
Don't you ever get to comfortable
Run... run away
You can do something beautiful
Run... run awaaaaay
[Verse 2]
Walking the rail road track home
Ma just got off shift at Wendy's
Tryna save her money bringing all the leftys back home
So me and kels didn't have to go bed with stomachs empty
She'd act like this was only temporary
She getting ready for a lil' party in her backyard with some friends
Me and Kelly we were in the living room playing make pretend, cowboys and Indians
Ma's friends are in the kitchen
One asks me if I want a cigarette
Puts it in my mouth then they poured me shot of what they sippin'
Four years old had me feeling like a man damnit
Mama, didn't look too impressed, she handled her business, oh boy
She tucked us into bed, kissed us on the forehead and she
Shut the door Door slam
