Ma

*talking*
This song, is dedicated to my mother..i love you

Chorus
*mom talking*

Verse-
As I sit and reminisce about you mother
There aint no other that can take your place
When I sleep at night I see your face
Visions of how it use to be just you and me for all those years
I wish I coulda taken all your tears
But now I got tears in my eyes, as I cry
And think about the days gone by and wondering why
I sit at your grave and think of all that you gave
You made the best of me in all but I cant take it anymore
When I was just a shorty way back in the day
You did the best you could to keep me out of harms way
I gotta say you did a good job
You tought me wrong from right
You had to work nights and even tought me how to fight
Just a poor single mom trying to make ends meet
I would see you get used, abused, and even beat
I was helpless in the next room hearing your cries
I use to say, when I get big, I'll beat up all these guys
Had some boyfriends come and go although I know you needed love
But they wouldn't treat you good, and I never understood
For years I would see you in tears at the kitchen table
Paying the bills didn't know if we were able
To make it through another month, but we somehow did it
Times were tough although you would never admit it
As I grew older you were there for advice
You were so cool to talk to, I wouldn't think twice..

Chorus-

Verse-
I know I took for granted the short time we had together
Wish I could talk to you now, I need more than ever
People said that you?d be proud of the man I've become
That I turned out so good considering where I came from
But last time I checked, the character don't pay the rent
I work hard for a check then its already spent
Its like I'll never get a hand and have the nice things in life
Sometimes I wish I could just call you up to ask for advice
Becuase you know I love this music, I've been rhyming for years
I got an archives of songs that no one will ever hear
The fear of failure, enough to keep me down
So I don't even try to pass my demo around
Its like im no one with nothing, im going nowhere
I know you in a better place, sometimes I wanna go there
Its no fair you had to leave me when I needed you most
All we had was eachother, that's why we were so close
And Ma, when ya left ya took a piece of my soul
I had to learn the hard way how life is so cold
But at least you prepared me back when I was young
How to avoid peer pressure and the danger of drugs
And because you were truthfull and you weren't ashamed
Of the mistakes that you made, I'll never do the same
But I blame myself we didn't spend more time together
The pain of your loss is something I'll suffer forever
Im sorry for your last days, how miserable I made it
But I love you to this day, and you were appreciated
I miss you mom, I love you.
