Graduation (Audio)
[Chorus: YelloPain]
That's what I get for having expectations
Guess I forgot where I came from
What if I’m gone when you wake up?
Would it at all make you wake up?
[Verse: YelloPain]
Hey mama, just wanted to tell you I love you
Don’t know if I say it enough
But I’ve been really prayin’ for us
And I thank God for you
Man, I look up to you, man
If I was in trouble and needed somebody I'd run to you (yeah)
If I never told you, you was my idol.... like really my idol
Whatever you said to me I took it in, like it was the bible
When you look at me, I wanna know, the feelin’ inside you
I guess sometimes I just wonder if you feel the way I do
Remember my 10th birthday, when you "apologized"
You couldn’t buy a cake so you bought me McDonald's fries
I thanked you but you got my brother gifts a lot of times
For me you say give you some time, but never got the time
I figured it was for the bills, but for real how you really feel?
I know his birthday around tax time, so is that what it is?
I know you gotta love me momma, cuz "every momma love they kids"
I just really think it’s fucked up, but I guess it is what it is
Remember recitals?
I played the piano, I waited and you never came
You said you was working
But got off from work for my brother and went to every game
He never even really scored, but you was just there to support
But I know basketball's more fun to watch than piano, I’m sure
I really forgive you!
And Imma’ continue forgiving you
I made up a whole lot of reasons, cuz’ I know it can’t be intentional
When I was in the hospital, you said you hope I got better
When he was down to weather, you was in the hospital till he got better
I don’t understand!
When you look at me I feel like you regret me!
But the look inside your eyes when you see him sometimes affect me
I was tryin’ to be so perfect, just to feel like you accept me
I love the way you love, but you love everyone except me!
Be honest, Mom!
When nobody come through for you, I’m present
But when Christmas comes around you don’t think to give me a present?!!!
Man, that’s fucked up!
Cuz’ I spent my whole life trynna impress you
But I guess I ain't’ really special
[Chorus: YelloPain]
This is what I get for having expectations
Guess I forgot where I came from
What if I’m gone when you wake up?
Would it at all make you wake up?
[Outro: YelloPain]
You really showed me how much a parent could love their child
So much that they forget they got another child
Man, my whole life I just wanted to make my mother proud
Wonder if you'd see the difference when I can’t come around
