Having conversations with mama, man my life is a mess |
[00:14.60] |
Ain't been returning the texts, so she been reading the press |
[00:17.73] |
She got google alerts, them shits go straight to her phone |
[00:20.79] |
She worry bout me from home, you know she raised me alone |
[00:23.70] |
She said "I heard you back with you know who" |
[00:25.93] |
|
[00:26.50] |
I told her "Girl I'm always back with you know who" |
[00:29.04] |
|
[00:30.14] |
And she like "Who are we kidding" |
[00:31.80] |
"You're only 27 you just being you" |
[00:33.84] |
"You're your fathers child man thank god you got some me in you" |
[00:36.62] |
At least I always, at least I always see it through |
[00:39.92] |
At least I'm always being true to what you taught me |
[00:42.67] |
Retired teacher but your words still got me evolving |
[00:45.65] |
Never get sloppy drunk, but alcohol is problem solving |
[00:48.88] |
And look I hate it when you hate on all my girlfriends |
[00:51.16] |
And assistants always convinced that there's always someone better |
[00:54.31] |
Like that girl from that gym who trains you |
[00:56.58] |
|
[00:57.67] |
I know you wanna arrange it, you told me she's free thursday |
[01:00.72] |
And I'm sure that she's a angel but she don't want this life |
[01:03.91] |
The timing ain't right |
[01:04.93] |
Maybe one day but even one day with us is a time of a life |
[01:08.03] |
We do things that people pay to document |
[01:10.32] |
You got the sweetest heart but I'm not here to give out compliments, |
[01:12.84] |
|
[01:13.37] |

[01:56.99] |

[01:58.82] |

[01:59.59] |
"Don't ever take advice," that was great advice |
[02:02.04] |
You and the six raised me right, that shit saved my life |
[02:05.00] |
|
[02:28.42] |
Having conversations with momma, we start talkin' bout dad |
[02:31.73] |
You know he dropping a single, he saying this is his window |
[02:34.81] |
That nigga still wearing linen, that nigga still in the club |
[02:38.01] |
Call him after we get off the phone and show him some love |
[02:41.09] |
That nigga memphis for real, girl he love you to death |
[02:44.11] |
He made mistakes throughout his life that he still doesn't accept |
[02:47.33] |
But he just want our forgiveness, and fuck it look how we living |
[02:50.50] |
I'm content with this story, who are we not to forgive him? |
[02:53.52] |
At least I been to a prison, at least I know what it's like |
[02:56.47] |
I used to rap on the phone, one of his friends doing life |
[02:59.66] |
And now I got me a Grammy, that could be part of the reason |
[03:02.95] |
Let's just call this shit even, we got some things to believe in |
[03:06.01] |
Do you remember back to Weston Road, Scarlett Road? |

Hangin' with Aaron Bell and Reny shit could've gone |
[03:11.64] |
south for me he looked out for me ma |
[03:13.82] |
He never let me do drugs |
[03:15.40] |
He let me shoot a gun one summer but out there everyone does |
[03:18.44] |
He made me listen to his music, old music, soul music |
[03:21.73] |
Shit that can only be created if you go through it |
[03:24.54] |
I used to get teased for being black, and now I'm here and |
[03:27.15] |
I'm not black enough |
[03:28.49] |
Cause I'm not acting tough or making stories up bout where I'm actually from |
[03:32.33] |
|
[03:33.24] |
But I just roll with it momma, rolling stone with it momma |
[03:36.51] |
Gotta be careful around rolling stones or anyone that's tryna throw stones at me momma |
[03:40.44] |
|
[03:40.95] |
I'm not condoning it momma |
[03:42.71] |
They will not tear nothing down I built this home for you momma |
[03:45.67] |

[03:47.29] |
