Mama Loves Me
[Verse]
How you define faith? How you define trust?
I still know people that started with me still ain't had enough
To get across that line
I [?] two more times and I pray for those left behind as I recline with no heater
This [?] deeper, I pray for Jeana
She pray for me, we only talk out here occasionally
Hittin' that shit ain't safe for me
I pour up water and reconsider
The sunna left the city, no figures and bow spitter, I listen to her
I spit to her, then she tell me 'bout a younger me that writ' to her
Lanes change still the same growin' pain

[Chorus]
And Mama loves me, I know you heard it before
And Mama loves me, she understand I need more
And Mama loves me, I know you heard it before
And Mama loves me, she understand I need more

[Outro]
I had got into a situation
I was travelling back and forth
To LA and... I think it might have been like five or six times in a matter of three month span so...
I know you knew what was up, but you never really heard nothin'
And I... I remember specifically...
You were hype, you told me they said my name on the radio
And I know I got a homie OP down at Power 98 so I'm sure he was spinning it
And I know they was showing love so for you that was the first time you heard my music
For you to accept it... I mean it really meant the world for me
Seems like a lot of things just happen to hit me so quickly, it messed my mind up inside
It made me think am I doing the right thing, am I really on the right path, are the people around me really true?
I went through a time in my life where I really had to contemplate where I was at and who I was with
I know I'm really introverted at times and I speak my mind too much besides in this music
I know you always had a problem with the language at times, but you said one thing that really stuck true to me
That one thing I really hold value in my life till this day
You told me you can never achieve something that you can't articulate
And ever since that day I've had it written down on a sticky note and I've passed it on my mirror
Everyday hoppin' into the shower and just pass it in general you know
And in hindsight I just want to say, thank you for that
You taught me a lot and I appreciate you and just know that I'm [?] but we gon' be alright
And Mama loves me
