Motherless Child

On God it wasn’t easy growing the way we did

If you know, you know

I’m thankful every day we get to live

See we was lost without a moms

And she was lost without her kids

At the time we couldn’t understand

The cycle she was in

But it was tough for her

The courts just made it tougher til she broke

A single black mother in the world without a hope

To make it worse nobody wanted to believe her when she spoke

Just a lost soul sliding down how slippery the slope

Nobody tried to throw a rope, nobody wanna lend a hand

It’s all on you, is you staying where you at or coming back

It’s all on you, if you gone chase the things you lack or just attract

Love is war at times, ignore the signs, you just got feel attacked

Them people left us in the dust so yeah it’s hard to get attached

I used think we wasn’t loved the way they always turned they back

It’s so hard to trust in anyone who move with obligation

Almost gave up on myself but why the surface barely scratched

Put that empathy aside,

You see my anger, ego pride

I never asked to have to fight

But thankful bro was at my side

Swore he got me through them nights

He told me it would be alright

Before we ever had a home

I put a prayer in the sky and said

God if you was real where you been at

See I was calling but you never hit me back

And I been struggling with some things

And life been tough I need you bad

But why keep yelling at the sky, this sight is really getting sad

I’m looking crazy out here come and have my back for once

I felt I was a mistake and that shit pack a punch

Look I been acting up, they trip on me I’ll pack em

So send a sign you mufucka is we fam or what

Sometimes our mothers don’t know what to do

Sometimes our mothers are praying to a god who is busy

A god who is not answering the phone and he has not promised to call you back

God of the orphan

God of the disillusioned

God of the lonely

God of the forgotten

God of the shut in and left out

God of no way

God of every way

God of possibility

God of impossibility

Do you remember me

I have some questions

God if you was real where you been at

See I was calling but you never hit me back

And I been struggling with some things

And life been tough I need you bad

But why keep yelling at the sky, this sight is really getting sad

I’m looking crazy out here come and have my back for once

I felt I was a mistake and that shit pack a punch

Look I been acting up, they trip on me I’ll pack em

So send a sign you mufucka is we fam or what

Sometimes, I feel

Like a motherless child

Sometimes, I feel

Like a motherless child
