Mama Raised Me

My mama raised me right cause you were never around

Shoutout to my black queen you know you held it down

Kept a smile on my face, so I would never frown

Kept me tucked up in your arms so I would never drown

 

Look,

I wanna cry but what's the purpose

Can't come back I closed the curtains

Think about it, is it worth it

What I do? Did I deserve it?

Like, I know that I'm not perfect

It was right then left you stepped

I remember when you left

And I mean no disrespect

But when you left it was the best

 

My mama raised me right cause you were never around

Shoutout to my black queen you know you held it down

Kept a smile on my face, so I would never frown

Kept me tucked up in your arms so I would never drown

 

When love came around and left, you weren't there to wipe my tears

Monster all under my bed, you weren't there to witness fear

A magician with a cloak, you turn around and disappear

You never really wanted me and now I see that clear

Put my foot on the gas, take the wheel, I gotta steer

You said your little sorry but it didn't sound sincere

I really missed your face, man year after year

I got used to the absence now I never want you near

Yeah what you feel is bad, but what I feel is severe

Tired of missing you, I learned to never drop a tear

 

My mama raised me right cause you were never around

Shoutout to my black queen you know you held it down

Kept a smile on my face, so I would never frown

Kept me tucked up in your arms so I would never drown
