Текст песни Steven Cooper - Momma (feat. Jocef Michael)
Momma, oh
For the times that you took care of me when I was sick
For the times that you provided, Lord knows we weren't rich
For the times I needed money and you helped me out
For the times I was in trouble and you bailed me out
I know that you're not perfect, I know you've tried your best
The reality is that we live in this giant mess
And it's only getting worse, I'm sure you can tell
But you don't even realize that you put me through hell
And I don't know what I'm doing, sometimes I think I'm ruined
And I blame you when I hate you, but I love you, it's stupid
Try not to be a victim, but I never had a system
I only have myself, would fall back as I can vision
I left home at 17, try not to sugarcoat it
But I wonder sometimes if my momma even noticed
Did my family even care? Were any of you there
When I stepped on the floor of that apartment, and on the stairs? (momma)
Was so scared and embarrassed, I knew that it's apparent
It's clear I got some issues, and I blame my lack of parents (oh)
You swear that it's all in my head, I guess it's crazy
To refuse to be just like you, and want more than you gave me
So hate me, call my phone to curse me out (momma)
Dig up all my dirt, put it online and search it out
Cut me with a knife, if it helps you sleep at night
But I don't want to fight, momma know it isn't right
Momma, just say, "I love you"
Inside there's so much pain to make it go away
Oh, momma, no one above you
Pick me up when I'm down (pick me up, pick me up)
Need you to hear me now, oh, momma
Momma, I know you're hearing this, it's your oldest son
If only things were different, but decision's now we're old and done
Try to stay strong, but I feel like I'm the only one (one)
Miss my family, brothers, cousins, I'm overrun
By the hurting emotions, every holiday's been alone (momma)
It's atrocious how things unfolded, and now we can unfold it
Feel like an orphan in this world, no way to change it
I get hurt and turn away, but it's time to turn back and face it (momma)
What happens when I have kids of my own?
And they wonder why it's just mommy and daddy alone
I don't know how to change it, yo
I guess I only know that I can't just walk away, or just let it go
Yet sometimes I get so lonely, and I just want back my family (momma)
But damn it, it's a fantasy, I'm killing this community
I'm stranded, and I'm damned to be the damage of your damaged breed
This hand that you have dealt me isn't helping, you can't even see (momma)
Momma, just say, "I love you"
Inside there's so much pain to make it go away
Oh, momma, no one above you
Pick me up when I'm down (pick me up, pick me up)
Need you to hear me now, oh, momma
Hush, little baby, don't you cry (momma)
Momma's gonna sing a lullaby (momma, where are you?)
Momma's gonna take away the pain
Momma's gonna make it go away (I can't find you)
Hush, little baby, don't you cry (momma)
Momma's gonna sing a lullaby (momma)
Momma's gonna take away the pain
Momma's gonna make it go away (momma)
I know you had good intentions, this never was planned (hush, little baby, don't you cry)
But sometimes you have to own the situation at hand (momma's gonna sing a lullaby)
The damage was done, I wish you knew how I feel (momma's gonna take away the pain)
And we can't make it disappear, but we can start to rebuild (momma's gonna make it go away)
But you don't even think that you did anything wrong (hush, little baby, don't you cry)
You won't even acknowledge the words to the song (momma's gonna sing a lullaby)
So I stay distant, and I stay gone (momma's gonna take away the pain)
I wipe my tears, and just move on, momma...
