Look Mama

Troy Taylor

Acoustic, who said I wouldn't do it? I pulled these strings
I fooled 'em all, I proved 'em wrong, I lived out through these dreams
I double my bets, they said I'm next, I said I'm right now
I know I'm blessed, see, I came up from what I write down
Ooh, yeah, I used to draw in class
I used to paint on my t-shirts, my grandma called me bad
Ooh, yeah, she said come get yo' son
I broke so much when I was two, now yo' son number one

Damn, I fixed it, I be so optimistic
Couldn't tell me nothing, didn't listen, my head hard as bricks is
Damn, see, I had to fall sometimes
My mama seen me going through it, she said, "Call sometimes"
Damn, Ma, you know I love you bad
I struggled tryna say that L word, had to practice that
Yeah, huh, I know you feel the love
I know my people got my back, they always build me up

Look, mama, lil' man-man's a daddy
In the palm of my hand's where she rested
I follow my heart, go to bed
Still content with myself, only move when I feel ready
Look, mama, lil' man-man's a daddy
In the palm of my hand's where she rested
I follow my heart, go to bed
Still content with myself, only move when I feel ready

I see the hate, I feel the love, I hear the people scream
I see the way people judge me, grew up on a TV screen
I beat the odds, I see the highs, I see the lows, I see the lies
I reached the goals I dreamed
I show them not to look over for me
I said I see the hate, I feel the love, I hear the people scream
I see the way people judge me, grew up on a TV screen
I beat the odds, I see the highs, I see the lows, I see the lies
I reached the goals I dreamed
I show them not to look over for me

I told them that I would grow, you see
Rescheduled the shows, they ain't showed a thing
Promoter took a shot with me
Ain't made a dime, he rocked with me
Don't think I'm knocking poverty
But, man, I struggle constantly
Survivor's guilt ain't kind to me
I gave away out everything

Rolex to the kid who said he live that way
He tryna find his ma
I seen him countin' coins
I took it off said, "Take this to the pawn"
They called me crazy, so what if he lying?
I get it back in blessings
Thank you all for hearing my confessions

Look, mama, lil' man-man's a daddy
In the palm of my hand's where she rested
I follow my heart, go to bed
Still content with myself, only move when I feel ready
Look, mama, lil' man-man's a daddy
In the palm of my hand's where she rested
I follow my heart, go to bed
Still content with myself, only move when I feel ready
