A letter to my mama
You gave me life
You taught me to walk
You taught me to talk
You taught me to write
you taught me to read
But of course there are
Two sides to this story
You taught to obey
You taught me to cry
You taught me broken promises
You taught me life
You taught me people leave
You taught me a man's love is the most important
But mama did you love me
Mama why you gone
Where did you go
The fuck is a step mom
Mama I want you
Mama you had one job
To be my mama
You left without a call
You done been through some shit
But mama you putting me through it too
I'm scared to be you
Now should that be true
You mama are a liar
Man I know I shouldn't say it
But mama it's true
Mama you lied about loving me
If you love me you should have stayed
My sister should not have to take your place
You took away my happiness
Gave me anxiety and confusion
I can't even think straight
Got me up for hours thinking
Damn If shit changed
Then my sisters wouldn't be fucked up
I wouldn't be fucked up
We would not all be wondering
What the hell is a real mom
Oh yeah I can't forget
Happy Mother's Day to you and your bullshit
