"Dear Momma" lyrics

Yesterday went missin' on you, today did the same thing
Sorry I be doin' that, I guess it's just a brain thing
New day, I done switched the whip, but I'm in the same lane
All my money different colors, baby, I don't gang bang
I got a chain waitin' on my brothers in the chain gang
They in the cell, I'm in the world, it's not the same thing
But I know when they got that call, we felt the same pain
Bad shit keep happenin''cause the bad shit you maintain
Start doin' right, and watch how God make things change
I know you tough rappin' 'bout buttons, but I wanna switch it up

Like, dear mama, I love you, thanks for all the Christmas stuff
You made sure I was good, and you wasn't good, shit, that right there good enough
Dear mama, girl, you did a good job
Sittin' back seein' you bust your ass, that shit make me go harder
Dear mama, I know for me, Monea'll sell a house
We wasn't even on good terms, she pulled down quick and bailed me out
Dear mama, baby girl, this here for you
I just had to give you these flowers, thankful for you comin' through
Dear mama, this for all the real mamas
Keep holdin' that shit down, sendin' blessings in abundance

You got your mama number, stop what you doin' and call her phone
No matter what turn you on
I know some niggas wish they could, but they can't 'cause ma duke gone
And she ain't comin' home
Look, ma, I love you, even when you can't stand me
Know when papa left, this shit got crazy, hurt the family
Me and Raven love just like the love you got for Danny
I got my love from Granny, I got my wave from Jimmy
Look in the mirror, see my face, and I get in my feelings
Gotta do this shit the P way, nigga, I'm too scared to spend it
I don't celebrate my own B-day, nigga, this shit for my children
Lookin' one way, I don't even see these niggas, I'm too tunnel vision

Dear mama, I love you, thanks for all the Christmas stuff
You made sure I was good, and you wasn't good, shit, that right there good enough
Dear mama, girl, you did a good job
Sittin' back seein' you bust your ass, that shit make me go harder
Dear mama, I know for me, Monea'll sell a house
We wasn't even on good terms, she pulled down quick and bailed me out
Dear mama, baby girl, this here for you
I just had to give you these flowers, thankful for you comin' through
