Verse 1:
Dear mama I can't believe how far we've grown
Cuz I remember when you told me you were comming home
And I sat by the phone waiting for yo a** to call
But I guess you wasn't comming back after all
And after the things dat you and I have been through
I was the only one to pretend to
Be ok and not hold a grudge against you
But now-a-days it's like it's f**ing up my mental
You tell me you sorry, you tell me dat you different now
Don't get my hopes up cuz you always let me down
I'm tired of being nice, I'm tired of acting mom
I'm tired of joking and being the one to laugh along
And I ain't write this letter just to upset you
And just to let you know I ain't gonna forget you
I just feel like it's time for me to let loose
You ain't the only one dammit we stress too
I ain't a dry cleaner, not tryna press you
Just want some closure for the years dat you slept through
As I got older all the money that you swept through
After all these I styl don't get you
I just wish you understood me as a young girl
And in my teens ain't treat me like a young girl
I remember wishing you were here more
Or did something dat one day your kids could cheer for

Verse 2:
Hey mama, I wonder how you're doing now
And everything's been crazy since u ain't around
I just got a new track, yea we laid it down
I useda love da Army, but shytt I hate it now
Anika called and said you wanted to hear from me
Why you ain't call me, make it clear to me
But anyway, when do you get out dis time
How me and mine doing, yea we just fine
I miss you alot, and hope dat you'll be back soon
And I've enclosed a new picture of my tattoos
I remember dat good times dat we useda have
Watching Maury tryna figure out who da dad
Haha yea dose were da good days
Before you got brand new, wichur new ways
But anyway just wanna say I love you
Write me back when you ever get up to
