Arnita's Heart

This for my queen man, my momma rest in peace
I only get one chance so I gotta do this right
2 minutes and 4 seconds to explain my momma life
She made a lot of wrongs so I gotta make 'em right
She died in the darkness so I gotta shine the light
On her story, damn this shit about to get gory
I gotta pass the damned to talk about the glory
My momma was 14 going on 40
She was a grown ass woman don't call her shorty
Born in Chicago was raised in the south
Trying to grow up fast
Only slowed her ass down
Also felt the happiest when no one was a round
1985 is when she smoked her first pound
Infatuated with the rush
Got her feeling like gold
Never ever shameless
When she playing with her nose
Strangers turned family
And family turned foes
Drained off her life
Got her heart broke

Daddy issues she just wanted acceptance
Disobedience her daddy wouldn't accept it
Black sheep of the family she always felt rejected
Bipolar disease she felt infected
Mood changes inflicted, nervous
Disaffective, life's been hectic
In battle with herself for as long as she lived
Always stood on whatever she did
Strong ass woman from a person she never hid
Cocaine was the only thing she loved more than her kids
She couldn't put hers at all before his
A true black queen well loved and badly missed
Momma I just wish I could give you one more kiss
But I know you up in heaven and that peace is bliss
So shine a light down on me when you hear this
I love you
