lyrics

Verse 1

They tried to tell me my mother's dying ... But I don't want to hear it cause I love her, I love her, I saw her crying...

And I remember the hard times, in baltimore but we made, we made it through hard times

I know that your wanted more, because you came from nothing, and because of it expected more from your first born.

I ain't mean to let you down, I remember Uncle Rai's we ain't have a bed, basically sleeping on the ground...

How many times I remember we didn't have Christmas but we was still appreciative a family of Christians. Now I've grown up and the two of us so distant, it's still me and you but the soul's missing yo listen

Pre Chorus

I know things could've turned out better... I know I been gone, mom but I'll never forget ya

If I could change the past then I would, but don't worry bout me no more (no more whispered) Momma I'm good!
yeayeeeayeehyeah

Verse 2

Now days we talk about what's in your will, and I play the tough guy but deep inside the feeling it kills...

Got me thinking bout your after life... And how I know you would've been happier if I had never grabbed a mic

You prayed college was where I went, because I was more intelligent than 90% percent of the state of maryland

My test scores were ridiculous, I did it with ease, you seen it. In the hood I was basically a genius.

Years later I was cutting up, started doing drugs, fell in love with the streets again, forgot who I was... You had lost all belief in him, I was running with thugs, running from family, I guess they misunderstood..

if I could take the pain back, then I would... I'd heal you and pray that, you understood.

You know I'm set in my ways, I'm stubborn I'm from the hood
but don't worry bout me no more (no more whispered) Momma I'm good! Ayeayeeeayeehyeah

Verse 3

I'm sorry your heart's broken, I wonder how you cry so loud yet remain so soft spoken...

Screaming for my attention, and though we fight daily I know it's cause you're bipolar you're forgiven

I remember the good times, I remember you loving me, before depression before the thought of death kept you company

Long before I ever decided to write me a rhyme, I was just javier, but still star in your eyes!

Lord i pray you forgive me for every time that i lied, for what you had to do just so the three of us could survive. You been sick, you been sick for a long time, and I been chasing my dreams, kinda selfish i pray to GOD,

I pray that He take His time, go slow calling you home cause I know I been a ghost when you needed me the most...
Once i hit the radio we'll live it up how we should, don't worry bout me no more... Mama I'm good.
