lyrics

Tears of My Mother

(Bridge)

I see your tears falling. I’d give anything to stop them,
I see your tears falling. I’d give anything to stop them,
I see your tears falling. I’d give anything to stop them,
Give anything to block them, to solve all your problems

(Chorus)
When I was younger I couldn’t stand to see you sad,
Got older and I realized for everything you had,
You gave your life, sacrificed, and suffered,
These… These… These are the tears of my mothers, (Bridge begins to play)
When I was younger I couldn’t stand to see you sad,
Got older and I realized for everything you had,
You gave your life, sacrificed, and suffered,
These… These… These are the tears of my mothers

(Verse 1)
It’s crazy ‘cause I have to use words to express what words could never express,
But I’mma try my best….,
I prolly put my Old Earth through so much stress,
It could even make this atheist think that he’s blessed,
For every breath I release I owe to you atleast,
Even while you was pregnant you suffered ‘cause of me,
Too much weight on your stomach had me hurting your feet,
And me taking your calcium had you losing your teeth,
But you raised me right… kept me out of the streets,
Now I’m grateful, ‘cause I’m always ear-deep in the beats,
When I sweared in my speech you made me stop that,
All my whoopings, I recall back, I deserved all that,
Love: Adore: and Need You… yup, All that!
And if there’s a synonym for angel you’d be called that,
You’re my guardian. Always played the part of him,
And if you’re going through trials and tribs; Let me help you then

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

(Verse 2)
When we found out that my father was cheating I thought you were leaving,
And you’d be gone by the evening,
What type of man takes trips to Vegas on the weekend?
Leaving his wife and kids spending his chips on a trick?
We were tricked. He was slick. But eventually slipped,
Caught in a lie by the time his plane hit on the strip,
I stood by you when you confronted him with receipt slips,
Askin’ him “who is this?” “who is this?” “Who Is THIS?”
But…. You broke down right in front of me……,
And I had to comfort the one who’s supposed to comfort me,
At the time I felt like I was your only company,
Tellin’ me you wanted half the profits of his company,
But you ain’t left him yet ‘cause of your love for me,
And my brother… God I love my mother!!!,
And you deserve another besides that mothafucka,
But you’re trying to keep your head up… though you’re fed up

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
Ok, maybe I’m not sure if this song is premature,
I just felt bad… record’s my cure,
So I turned the mic on and let me heart just pour,
I guess that’s why they call it flow… now I know,
But if I had my choice with this flow I would blow,
To life my mom out the Low(e)s…. No Home Depot,
I’m tired seeing tear streams over her nose,
Or her pretending like she’s not abused in her own home,
Everything I’d own: she’d have twice her own:
If I ride on chrome… then everywhere she’s flown,
She deserves it though. Price tag, begone!
B(u)y anything if I pay the green she deserve everything,
I’m tired of saying all these upsetting things,
Heavy themes… but to me they’re not petty things,
Some people say their mom is a saint…
It varies.. MINE AIN’T she more the VIRGIN MARY

(Bridge)

(Chorus)
