Mama Testo

I see the past still hides in your closet
I see you can't move, but you're starting the process
So, now, I hope to God that you're making some progress
Guess I don't believe, but I'm just being cautious
I see the guilt weighing heavy on your conscious
I see that all the pain isn't gone as a constant
I hope that you can step back and put it in context
That man, he belongs in a coffin

I hope, one day, that you will see Everything I did was for you and me
Everything I did was for you to see, you to see
I hope, one day, that you'll believe
Everything I have, yeah, you gave to me
I'm everything I am 'cause you made me, you made me

I wish I had a verse with some better words
Wish I had a hook that you never heard
I wish, one day, that you wouldn't hurt
'Cause, Mama, you gave me the world
I wish I had a way with some better rounds
But I still can't say what I can't find
I wish, one day, that you wouldn't cry
'Cause, Mama, you kept me alive
Whatever you need, I promise I'll try
I promise I'll try
'Cause, Mama—

I know it all comes up when we're talking
I know you're tryna save me the pain that it's causing I never see you cry, now I hear that it's pouring
So, let me be the roof while you pull up the flooring
I know it's not meant to be something you're forcing
But I wish that you could force a little more, it's important
'Cause now it's your time and your time to be open
And everything you kept in a box, you can throw it

I hope, one day, that you will see
Everything I did was for you and me
Everything I did was for you to see, you to see
And I hope, one day, that you'll believe
Everything I have, yeah, you gave to me
I'm everything I am 'cause you made me, you made me
Oh, oh-ohh

I wish I had a verse with some better words
Wish I had a hook that you never heard
I wish, one day, that you wouldn't hurt
'Cause, Mama, you gave me the world
I wish I had a way with some better rounds
But I still can't say what I can't find
I wish, one day, that you wouldn't cry
'Cause, Mama, you kept me alive
Whatever you need (Whatever you need), I promise I'll try (I promise I'll try)
I promise I'll try (I promise I'll try)
'Cause, Mama, you kept me alive

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
'Cause, mama, you kept me alive
