Dear Momma
Dear momma,
I'm writing this letter so you know how hard this is on me
Why did you think everything was gonna come so easily?
You had four kids before me
You could have got ready
I don't even know my brothers and sisters
&& every boyfriend you had was an abusive mister
They would beat you right in front of us
But you stayed until you had enough
Why would you want to see your kids in some foster home?
Some family we didnt even know
Dear Momma,
You can't blame me from being mad
Alot of crazy shit happend that got people feeling bad
Im not all about living this life
I lost my dad once but it happend twice
You wouldn't understand half the shit i've been through
No tears run down because i have a "fuck you" attitude
Since you've been gone i've made my three best friends
Going though the same shit like me that's how it begins
So mom, i can't say hate you like i used because i don't know you as a person
