the root of a thing
My mama was a baby when she had me
Just like my daddy
My mama lost her mama to the sky
And sometimes you can see it in her eyes
And sometimes you can smell it on her breath
Sometimes she get to talking with her chest
Cause sometimes the world don't do you right
The love dont hold you tight
The home aint there at night
I guess that's why
We walk by faith and not by sight
Cause what you see will have you fucked up
Believing that your lucks up
My mama left at 3 months
took 30 years to trust her
Took 30 years to muster
the empathy to wonder the ways the world had fucked her
Took 30 years to love her
Shit
Surely surely I'm my mama's child
Cause surely surely I'm out here running wild
And damn my nigga you just won't settle down
Guess what goes around comes right back around
And damn I feel it now
But I got my walls up
I really really wanna love you
But I got my walls up
I never seen my daddy treat a woman good
I don't know what it's like to be understood
My daddy dont like no woman who don't look good
My daddy dont like no woman who dont cook good
My daddy dont like no woman who gain weight
My daddy aint like no woman he don't stay
And he'll never understand the pain
But I got my walls up
I really really wanna love you
But I got my walls up
Baby baby baby it aint right
But I got my walls up
Just like my daddy
My mama lost her mama to the sky
And sometimes you can see it in her eyes
And sometimes you can smell it on her breath
Sometimes she get to talking with her chest
Cause sometimes the world don't do you right
The love dont hold you tight
The home aint there at night
I guess that's why
We walk by faith and not by sight
Cause what you see will have you fucked up
Believing that your lucks up
My mama left at 3 months
took 30 years to trust her
Took 30 years to muster
the empathy to wonder the ways the world had fucked her
Took 30 years to love her
Shit
Surely surely I'm my mama's child
Cause surely surely I'm out here running wild
And damn my nigga you just won't settle down
Guess what goes around comes right back around
And damn I feel it now
But I got my walls up
I really really wanna love you
But I got my walls up
I never seen my daddy treat a woman good
I don't know what it's like to be understood
My daddy dont like no woman who don't look good
My daddy dont like no woman who dont cook good
My daddy dont like no woman who gain weight
My daddy aint like no woman he don't stay
And he'll never understand the pain
But I got my walls up
I really really wanna love you
But I got my walls up
Baby baby baby it aint right
But I got my walls up
