[Intro]
I'm sorry Mama
I never meant to drop out of school
I mean, I did, but I--
Didn't mean to hurt you
You know? I'm sorry
Yeah, uh

[Verse 1]
I been messing up, probably why I'm stressed as hell
Waking up in the morning, ain't even dressing up
A lil make up on my face, tears messed it up
Grandma praying for me, wishing me the best of luck
Feel like I'm falling off, It's time for me to step it up
People saying I'm a star, well you can bet it up
Flying coach, small flight, shit's dead as hell
Tryna land in different cities I ain't never touched
My father passed, and left us with old photographs
Mama drinking every day, that's how you know it's bad
Don't know how he passed, a lot of different stories
I know that he was young, Pop's barely saw 40
Uh, sad story
I wish it never happened, man
Worse than I'd imagined, man
Ain't no pain everlasting
Watch, 'cause we gon' make it past this
[Hook]
Mama, I never meant to drop out of school, yeah
I'm sorry I forgot 'bout the rules, yeah
I know you never thought I would lose, yeah
But I can never walk in them shoes, now
But I'ma make it do what it do, yeah
You know that I'ma do it for you, yeah
But I'ma make it do what it do, yeah
You know that I'ma do it for you, Mama

(You must be in hiding, when you get this, call
You don' turned your phone off, uh)

[Verse 2]
Yo, Aye, take a look into my diary
Overcoming obstacles to make a higher me
Now-a-days it ain't too much out inspiring, and that shit getting in the way of who I'm tryna be
I know you want to see me shine, you say it all the time
I know you love the way I rhyme, you listen all the time
I gotta make it out the state, I gotta hit the road
I know you want me home, but lately I been on my own
It feels good not asking to hold a twenty (It do)
'Cause being broke made me passionate 'bout money (It did)
I do my best to make a hundred dollars stretch (I do)
Forever grateful that I got somewhere to rest (I am)
Some kids sleeping on the streets 'cause they ain't got a home (For real)
But, look, I'm here to speak to let you know you're not alone
We're a team, and if you with me, then that makes a squad
If one do it, then we all gon' have to get involved
[Hook]
Mama, I never meant to drop out of school, yeah
I'm sorry I forgot 'bout the rules, yeah
I know you never thought I would lose, yeah
But I can never walk in them shoes, now
But I'ma make it do what it do, yeah
You know that I'ma do it for you, yeah
But I'ma make it do what it do, yeah
You know that I'ma do it for you, Mama
