Ode' To My Mama

O' don't ever tell me about hard work I know about it

One + one = everything; me and my mommy

This unreasonable world giving her perishable souvenir of hope

I linger on her every word
Like I'm Catholic and she's the pope

Savior and sentencer

That's what she was to me

Grinding out for everything and tryna' give the best to me

Mama provided a palpable alchemy
If the world begins at the kitchen table
She was whipping some scientific wizardry

Make sure I always ate so I got bigger than the most

Sheltered from a lot so getting bullied I wasn't ready for

Check to check and food stamps being sold

Me constantly making jokes about her being old

Don't get mad mama you were 39 turning 40 I was an accident with everything you still adore me

I just want to make it cause my reality it bores me

And you deserve the best in life for all of your past hurting

Ode to my mama sorry for all the drama

I'm sorry for every time I didn't listen and caused problems

I'll love you for eternity and more that is regardless

And may any evil fade away for good if they try to harm us

I know I made mistakes but I learned from every downfall

You make me take pride in my name and stand tall

I won't ever back down from a challenge no one can deter my focus

Mama you are the greatest of all time, you are the GOAT and you did the most;
Your doing the most to help me make it

From 3 jobs to just 1 working yourself to death

I don't have a standard faith but I pray you maintain your health

Please take care of yourself
Mama please I ain't ready for you to leave you help me breath easy
Please take care of yourself
I love you more than life itself you need to see when I reach this wealth
Please take care of yourself

I need you to see your grandkids I dream big and I was the dream that you fulfilled there's just so much more for me to build

Loving you is a thrill mama thank you for having me

Imma work as hard as I can to be who I'm destined to be

Thank you
