Roses and Tulips

I think it's time I wrote a song for you mom
I mean
Through every shitty day you've been the realist on my team
You either love me or you love me or you're somewhere in between
But see no matter what I've put you through you've always been my queen
I tried to take my life a couple months ago I text you
You ain't know what I was doing til you showed up to my rescue
And if I broke your heart I swear to God I never meant to
There was just some toxic shit that had been eating at my mental
But regardless I'm here
And that's only cause of you mom you're the voice in my ear
Telling me I need to think about the people that care
And understand the consequences cause I'm just not aware
I know life isn't fair
I know my family is here
I know the hand that I got dealt I'm always tryna compare
To the way somebody's living and the blessings they been given
But I got you as my mother so what they got makes no difference to me

I don't know where I'd be without you
When I saw that look that ralphie had when Vicky passed I frowned too
Cause I know to say goodbye feels like a never ending ride
So while you're with me by my side give every ounce of love I'm bound to
Had a dream that you were gone I woke and dropped to my knees
Couldn't stand to feel the pain of thinking one day you'll leave
Look to the stars and asked to keep you like a monk keeps his peace
Cause woman you're the only reason why I lived to 23
And why I saw 24
I know you notice my potential and know that I'm meant for more
I intend to make you proud not let you down like before
One day the kid will be a man that everybody adores
And if I ever hit the road I'm sending flowers and shit
Ain't talkin dandelions talkin roses and tulips
Just to show appreciation for you getting me through this
Momma you're a saint that's just what the beautiful truth is
