Dear Mama

Dear mama, showed the love to me like no other
Uhh, No partner, to me it’s different i had no father
It was harder never had that start up, learning from the streets, had to be smarter
I dont blame ya, know i love ya, but tryna be a man learning was harder.

Now im 20 years old, two decades ago made a move so bold
Born in a world so cold, but raised by a women with a heart full of gold

You showed me your ways, love in my heart and food on my plate
Even though i see you come short on your pay, me and my sister were fed everyday

I wasn't a bad kid, i had dreams that i wanted to be, i wanted to be better than me
I just needed a guide, i just needed that ride, to get me from that place, get me from the A to that B.
I had my mum and her daughter, i was young she was taller, i learned to brush my teeth, keep myself clean, stay away from the caffeine, yeah, everything my mother had taught her,

I never learned to go fishing, learned how to do chores, and do more for the kitchen, even though you taught me right even showed me the light, i kinda wish i was shown the manly shit i was missing.

Men coming in and out, loving them without a doubt, looking up to them i mean this is what i lived without.
I was fine and then they'd leave, only want my mum, wanted nothing with me, only wanted the fun, but when my mum pulled them up and said that we're family, you want to look after me, you’re looking after us 3. You know my kids gotta eat, yeah, they need shoes on their feet,

They'd hear that and then they'd leave. X3

I kinda find it hard showing the appreciation
Showing you the praise for your dedication
Showing me your ways, all the education
Showed me how to love, even though I never say it

Looking at my friends mums I was kinda jealous
All the top brands I could see my friends wear it
Wondering why I always had wear my uncles second clothes I didn’t get it
If I ripped my jeans, you were there to repair it
You would always care, you would mend it
Never gave you credit
Everytime we’d fight, I said you never loved me
Now I regret it

Lunch money, mates would get heaps
Getting 10 a day just to last me the week
Didn’t get much, I couldn’t understand
But now I realise it was all the you had

So you gave me your all
You gave me your everything
Anything
But overall
Love is the very thing
That I need, you plant the seed
Then you feed
I’m aware of the love I received

For the goal you achieved
As you parent you succeeded
Raising me right, at the end of the day
No matter what you gave me
Your Love is all I ever needed
