Mama's Genes

Yeah

Reach out to me...

Uh
Mama work hard but the bills large
Wanna see her peel off in her dream car
Will I, help us live large, or just live off
Everything she give, Lord, what I did for her
Can I, get that deal for her, keep it real for her
Pay a couple bills for her, buy some meals for her
Oh I, look just like my mama, mama's gene strong
Kids do too, piss my baby mama off

I was 'round 22, came back to the News
Most dudes kicked out the army would been homeless but,
Not me, cause of you, through and through, you been true
I know God took his time, made you kind and protective
My mind has been stressing, over if I been neglecting
Feel like I know others who way more worthy of your presence
Every day I have left with you, I need them to be special
Look back on my life and think I need to be more careful
I done cussed out people who had guns in my face
Never thinking if I go, then no one's taking my place
Never thinking if I go, then how will my mama grieve
Everything became clear the day that I had Kyrie
And my Kyla love her Nana more than anyone, I'm jealous
The way you have us wrapped around your heart is so impressive
I'm happy to still have you and both of us are healthy
But will we go tomorrow, ain't no telling

Mama, before I go,
Just know I love you so
And I don't wanna leave without you knowing
And I don't wanna leave without me showing
Mama, before you go
Just know I love you so
I don't want you to leave without me showing,
I don't want you to leaveeeeee me

I don't take shit when it come to my kids and that's my mama fault
CMENRED was the license plate on my mama car
Pulled up the school everybody knew what was poppin off
Same way I pull up when somebody saying my son is soft
Same way I pull up when I heard my daughter cry at the park
Ma the only woman in this world that never break my heart
Next time she go to Canada, I wanna do my part
Put her first class have her eating all of the food she wants
But more than that,
I wanna take this heart she put in me, and give it back,
I wanna show my kids that I learned how to love from Nana
I wanna take them both to meet my grandma in Alabama
I don't want my babies to learn the concept of death
Attending funerals for family that they never met
Mama I been stressed, I cry damn near every morning
Refuse to go therapy cause I won't spend no money
Just to have somebody telling me
That my all problems stem from when you yelled at me
When you the only one in life who truly care for me
And you deserved to yell, your kids put through Hell,
Cause one of us can't hold no job, the other one stay in jail
And I know why I be crying, it's because I know I failed
And if I die tomorrow I can't even leave no will
And if you die tomorrow, my whole world would stand still,
I made this song to show you how I feel

Mama before I go,
Just know I love you so
And I don't wanna leave without you knowing
No I don't wanna leave without me showing
Mama before you go
Just know I love you so
I don't want you to leave without me showing,
I don't want you to leaveeeeee me

Mama make the chicken pasta everybody loves
Mama see you crying, then she come in for a hug
I said, mama make the chicken pasta everybody loves
And when mama see me crying, she come in for a hug
I'ma bring the bridge back,
I said...

Mama work hard but the bills large,
Wanna see her peel off, in her dream car
Will I, help us live large, or just live off,
Everything she give, Lord, what I did for her
Can I, get that deal for her, keep it real for her,
Pay some couple bills for her, buy some meals for her
Oh I, look just like my mama, mama's gene strong
My kids do too, we owe it all to you

Before I go, just know I love you so
I don't want you to leave without you knowing,
I don't want you to leeeeeeeave me, mama.
