Dear Mama

Yeah, sup Mama This one is for you
D.I.N.D.E.L.A

You told me that the sun sets
Only to rise again
And with that wisdom, in your eyes
I still saw the pain
I held your hand and I told you
It won't always be this way
You said ofcos
Where there's a will there is a way
You told me that the sunsets
Only to rise again
And with that wisdom, in your eyes
I still saw the pain
I held your hand and I told you
It won't always be this way
You said ofcos
Where there's a will there is a way

Momma not educated
Never her mothers favorite
We were cursed under the spell
Granny couldn't stand the sight
Of us as well
Even thou she never treated us well
When she passed away I cried
And then I bid her farewell
No love from my father
No love from my grandma
All I had was my mother
And a headache stronger than grandpa
Life was a struggle, a single parent of 6
Working on farms just so we could have a meal
With no one but your own kids
To look after you when you were ill
Aunty Norah and aunty Sarah
Always there when they could since they knew the deal
Regardless of no kingdom
You are still a queen
An angel only with blind eyes could be seen
And Even thou I grew up an angry child
The happy times we had are real

You told me that the sun sets
Only to rise again
And with that wisdom, in your eyes
I still saw the pain
I held your hand and I told you
It won't always be this way
You said ofcos
Where there's a will there is a way
You told me that the sun sets
Only to rise again
And with that wisdom, in your eyes
I still saw the pain
I held your hand and I told you
It won't always be this way
And uhh
Where there's a will there's a way
There's a way, there's a will there's a way
There's a way

And I prayed we live forever
But God said it couldn't be
I'll love you until death
Cause it'll kill me to see you leave
I'm living every day to repay
The joy that you gave to me
My father threw away his greatest seed
And unfortunately i grew
I was a blessing in disguise
I always felt you knew
Became three times what he will never be
A father and everything a dead'll never be
He's so sick and I can't feel it
Our feelings torn nah you can't heal it
Never had love for him
So if he dies it won't kill me
Crying for your life
Would be nothing but weakness to me
You leaving me and my mama
Was a sickness to me
I Guess you left cause you couldn't be
A father to me
You were only good for fathering me
If you were around you would have stood
In the way of all the things
That I was destined to be
And I don't miss you a bit
I wouldn't have been to the places
Where fatherless kids have been
Wouldn't have felt the fear leaving me
Fearing what I've become
So, Dear Mama

You told me that the sun sets
Only to rise again
And with that wisdom, in your eyes
I still saw the pain
I held your hand and I told you
It won't always be this way
You said ofcos
Where there's a will there is a way
You told me that the sun sets
Only to rise again
And with that wisdom, in your eyes
I still saw the pain
I held your hand and I told you
It won't always be this way
You said ofcos
You are my will and you're the way
You're the way
You're my will
You're the way

Times have finally changed
We got a little change
Something to celebrate
And I dropped out of school
Cause I couldn't relate
Left radio cause my dreams were calling
And they couldn't wait
You knew I was no fool
Cause you wished me well
Said i Should follow my dreams
Like the mission bell
Said when I make it to the top
There'll be those who wish I fell
Said I should follow my dreams
Said me and Gordio were destined for greatness
Told us to keep our heads up
Cause there's light after dawn's darkness
The rock of all rocks
You set your kids free and let em reach for the top
You the reason my heart beats
And it'll be until our hearts stop
All I wanted was to make you proud
In case I don succeed, I hope you know I tried
So, Dear mama

You told me that the sunsets
Only to rise again
And with that wisdom, in your eyes
I still saw the pain
I held your hand and I told you
It won't always be this way
Your said ofcos
You're the will and you're the way
Huh you're the will, you're the way (You're the way)
(You're the will)
You told me that the sunsets
Only to rise again
And with that wisdom, in your eyes
I still saw the pain
I held your hand and I told you
It won't always be this way
You said ofcos
You are the will you'll find a way
And I found a way (I found a way)
Yeah
I found a way (I found a way)
I found a way (I found a way)
Dear mama
(Way)
I found a way (I found a way)
I found a way (A way)
I found a way (I found a way)
