[Verse 1]
I know that times were hard
I know that you've been feeling down
If you only knew how I'm feeling for you
If I could take your pain
I wish that I could wash it all away
If you only knew how I'm feeling
[Verse 2]
Mommy I'm sorry if my first letter made you cry
To be honest with you I don't think that I wanna die
Sometimes I feel like that I'm cancerous in other lives
That's prolley why I drink at night and sleep till 4 or 5
It's kinda hard walking through life with my distorted eyes
When I was younger I was stupid and I thought I thrived
I thought a lot about everything I said in the letter
And questioned whether or not if I was dead you'd be better
[Verse 3]
You think my shorty would be happy if I never met her
It's too late now mommy I could never forget her
Could never forget how she told me to love
Cause my father and my grandmother is always above
It's glory above you know that daddy taught me to thug
And every time we was with nanny she'd bombard me with hugs (Damn)
I miss em mommy and it's hard to believe
That I've grown and I don't understand that why did they leave
[Verse 4]
(Better to die and sleep then never wake and sleep)
(Then linger on and dare to live when your souls life is gone)
[Verse 5]
You been running around for so long
You been hurting yourself too much
You keep messing around with darkness
You're the one whose losing
You been running around for so long
You been hurting yourself too much
You keep messing around with darkness
You're the one whose losing
[Verse 6]
Mommy I think I'm a that try to stick around a while
I got a niece and my nephews they need me around a while
I think they need me cause they hitting that age
And they ain't trying to speak to Lenny cause they spitting they rage
And mommy speaking of Lenny I think my brother need me
And we Italian so you know my mother loved to feed me
And it's the little things you do for me that make it worth it
Like when I play a joint that we did and you say it's perfect
[Verse 7]
And when Jay got knocked you knew that I was hurt
You told me to my heart in a song and it worked
I promised him I'd be there when he got out the bing
You ain't raised me to be a liar ma that's not my thing
I told him that I'd hold him down the whole time that he gone
They kept him locked in a cage but that's cool cause he's strong
So mommy keep that first letter i wrote you on the low
I think I wanna stay alive and see if I can grow
[Verse 8]
You've been running around for so long
You've been hurting yourself too much
You keep messing around with darkness
You're the one whose losing
You been running around for so long
You been hurting yourself too much
You keep messing around with darkness
You're the one whose losing
[Verse 9]
I know that times were hard
I know that you've been feeling down
If you only knew how I'm feeling for you
If I could take your pain
I wish that I could wash it all away
If you only knew how I'm feeling
Baby you keep fuckin'
I love you, I love you
I love you
