Shepherd's Pie

Yea

Yea

Glad mama got to see

Glad mama got to see Obama in office before she laid in a coffin

Vicks vaporub for all them nights I was coughing

Worked late nights had dinner ever so often

Bathed in skin so soft somehow life never would soften

I'm just painting a vivid picture

A single mother but black that's a hell of a mixture

I down the liquor the cancer in me got empathy

A couple burned bridges can't stop what I'm meant to be

Let me put it simply

It's in my destiny those hard times faded

But when she whipped that shepherds pie that was my favorite

Yea that was my favorite

Made something out of nothing ain't a lie stated

All that time separated that was time wasted

Something realized now that I'm grown

If the conversation curt because of temporary hurt

Before somebody in the dirt make sure you pick up the phone

Lessons learned but was traumatized

Take me back to chicken nuggets a side of fries

Before all the distant treatment and all the lies

Just thankful we got the chance to apologize

Mama let me dry your eyes

We had your Shepherd's Pie for the last time

Could see it in your face so I stashed mine

Before you went you left me with the recipe

Now I make it for my therapy

Love you mama rest in peace

Yea love you mama rest in peace

We all got someone that we once held close

Probably fell out with

Pick up that phone man make that call

It ain't even worth it

Life is short

For real
