Carpet Floors

Jay Hit Em
My mama told me put them toys down and clean them dishes
Mop that floor Clorox that restroom wipe down the camole
Take that trash out cut that grass now
And clean my living room
I hated all that shit but I found peace cleaning my tennis shoes
Ooooohhhhhhh
I ain't have no chance to win but I told self I ain't finna lose
Ooohhhh
You can't even walk a half a mile in my tennis shoes

A young slave she wonder why I didn't behave
Changing diapers age of six it ain't a lot can relate
I ironed clothes on that carpet floor
Same place I put a pillow and a blanket made a bed on that carpet floor
I starved on that carpet floor
Many nights I felt like dying on that carpet floor
Lord know I said some prayers on that carpet floor
To one day turn this carpet into a marble floor

I prayed that fan on the floor turned to a fan on the ceiling
Prayed the money I stole turned to a quarter a milli
I Pray love that I'm missing it come back through my children
I prayed that washing them dishes turn me from rags to them riches
Summer time she yelling spring clean
Ooohhhh
I was tryna watch that spring bling
Prayed them beads on my neck
Rubber bands around my wrist one day turn into some bling bling
You had nine kids mama this shit can never clean
Yo second oldest and I wish it never was me
Cause I got blamed the most
And every time I spoke my mind you an yo husband
Telling folks that I got the devil in Me
Ohhhh
And we never cable
Watching bootlegs but you know you get what you paid for
Food was pretty good but wasn't no steaks up in my table
No hand outs wasn't nothing sweet but the maple
They say trouble don't last long
But my shit last long
I was tryna peace couldn't find none at home
Kept my lil bros straight I was like a backbone
Nigga gave up the tho stayed in attack mode

And I prayed that I lived out my dreams
Cause I couldn't take no more from that pain
Cause I been through so much I can't say
And it's to hard for me to explain
We use to cry in that rain
Cause that's the only time them tears blend we hiding that pain
Living in nothing but poverty and scandalous days
It's kind of natural for you to pick up them scandalous ways
And you don't know that feeling coming home
Mama ain't pay that bill take a guess if them lights really off or on
You don't know that feeling coming home
You don't know that feeling coming home
Go from teenage kid to grown as man in a second
From learning at school to bathing your kids a dressings em
From raising my hand and asking the teacher to speak
To whipping up meals for all the siblings can eat
It wasn't a no childhood and you ain't never see that
But I'm more grateful for them lessons cause I'll never be that
An my kids running barefoot on marble floors
I thank god they ain't never slept on carpet floors foreal

And I just pray they they live out they dreams
Yeah yeah yeah
And I just pray they they live out they dreams
And I just pray they they live out they dreams
Yeah yeah yeah
And I just pray they they live out they dreams

That's him right there
