[Hook]
2
Here we are, all alone
3
Who gives a fuck about what they say
4
I'm sure I've heard much worse
5
People need to worry about them first
6
People need to learn to mind their business instead of mine
7
Here we are, all alone
8
Who gives a fuck about their dismay
9
But still I'm face to face
10
With the one person I can't replace
11
One person I can't just tell I'm doing fine
12
What up Ma
13
Been a while
14
Lot of catching up to do
15
Know you got a ear full
16
I'm listening
17
[Verse]
18
Momma said she loves me, said she cares
19
Said if I need her, she'll always be there
20
But even her saying that struck me as weird
21
Why did she feel those words I needed to hear?
22
Said she understands me, that was rare
23
Cause no one understands me, not even my peers
24
And these just thoughts I never bother to share
25
So as I write, my eyes start to tear
26
I ain't tell her I'm tired, but still trooping
27
Alone, but I find myself regrouping
28
Ain't say my brain now feel like a prison
29
Figured I'd shut the fuck up and listen
30
She continued, that was honorable
31
Said said I get more and more irresponsible
32
For normal folks, she said that's a challenge
33
Luckily I mask mine behind talent
34
She said "you are no longer yourself"
35
"I don't know what to expect of you"
36
Said I'm putting up with things I normally wouldn't
37
She don't know why it's acceptable
38
She said "people living in your house"
39
"Don't pay shit, not respectable"
40
I told her, they're folk I think highly of
41
She said "well they must think less of you"
42
"Must feel entitled, all you doing"
43
I said I'll fix it, she said no you won't
44
Then I got defensive, but still replied
45
I told her I need them, she said "no you don't"
46
Then she said, "when's the last time you spoke to your father?"
47
I said he's self-centered, why bother?
48
Cause he only really call about his needs
49
And I ain't got enough time to deal with his greed
50
Cause my days are darker
51
Cut from a long shank but the blade is sharper
52
I'm making my not-so-vague departure
53
Tell pop I'm his son, not his spades partner
54
Last time that we spoke
55
He wanted to use the crib, throw a party here
56
Which wasn't partly fair
57
My home need to feel like home
58
Even if I throw a party here
59
Then he catch an attitude
60
And I catch one right back at you
61
We adore each other, but ignore each other
62
Think this is how the fuck I wanna act with you?
63
Things just ain't the same
64
But he sure will call about a Yankee game
65
Like call C.C. and get back to me
66
What's ill is he say it so casually
67
I love him so much he can have all the perks
68
Hurts so much, I take all the Percs
69
Hurts so much but fuck it, it works
70
Hurts so much that I can't sleep
71
Mom say I need to sleep more
72
Then again, she ain't on this stress level
73
So many people rely on me
74
I'm trying to get us all to the next level
75
Wait, told her I took baby girl to the doctor
76
It was only for a check up though
77
And she gave me the face like
78
"Now would be time if there's anything I feel I need to let her know"
79
But, that's just mom again, just being a mom again
80
Looked down at the tat on my arm again
81
God please give me the strength, keep calm again
82
She asked me if Kaylin was pregnant
83
I looked at her like she was crazy
84
Cause that's my baby, what's wrong with a baby?
85
She said "nothing at all when you're not dating a baby"
86
"Beautiful girl, I like everything about her thus far"
87
"I just don't wanna see you fall"
88
"Just a tad bit young, so she got some growing up to do"
89
And I replied don't we all
90
Momma said "why can't you ever be alone"
91
I said what do you mean?
92
Went to correct her, she did it herself
93
She said "at least that's how it seems"
94
Pop ain't called, he's still mad
95
Still pissed, he's still angry
96
I'm still going, no plan of slowing
97
No way I'll ever let his immaturity taint me
98
Momma said that Tahiry called
99
That ain't shock me, they speak a lot
100
She's helpful and knowing my ex...
