Letter to my momma

 

 

You kept the light on when I lived in the dark

Held the house together with a trembling heart

I ain’t proud of the nights that I left you in tears

But you never gave up, even drowning in fears

 

You prayed for a son who was killing his soul

Watched me burn bridges chasing empty control

But through all my silence, the pain and the lies

You still saw your baby through a mother’s eyes

 

You ain’t just my momma — you my anchor and my reason,

Kept believin’ in me through every broken season.

Even when my name was mud and my hope ran thin,

You stood like a soldier, never let the devil win.

 

Now I’m clean, I’m back, I’m rebuildin’ this life,

With your prayers on my back and redemption in sight.

Every step I take, I take for you and the kids,

‘Cause without your strength, I’d be where the graveyard lives.

 

 

[Verse 2]

I remember your hands, calloused and kind

Wiping little faces while mine lost its mind

You were raising your son and his babies too

While I vanished inside what the devil can do

 

But you never said quit, never let love fade

Even when I was gone, you kneeled down and prayed

Said, “One day he’ll come back, he just lost his way”

And Momma, you were right—I’m here now to stay

 

You taught me that love ain’t just sweet and soft

It’s hard work, patience, when everything’s lost

You raised warriors while holding your pain

So this letter's from a man who carries your name

 

You ain’t just my momma — you my anchor and my reason,

Kept believin’ in me through every broken season.

Even when my name was mud and my hope ran thin,

You stood like a soldier, never let the devil win.

 

Now I’m clean, I’m back, I’m rebuildin’ this life,

With your prayers on my back and redemption in sight.

Every step I take, I take for you and the kids,

‘Cause without your strength, I’d be where the graveyard is

 

Outro]

Momma, if love had a face, it would look like you

If strength had a voice, it would sound like the truth

This letter’s my promise, from now until I'm gone—

You ain’t never gotta carry it all alone
