[Intro] There's a note on the door (X3) [Hook] Dear mama there's a note on the door It say we got 30 days then we gotta roll I know we all we got, so we got no where to go Said we goin' through hell now we out in the cold Dear mama there's a note on the door It say we got 30 days then we gotta roll I know we all we got, so we got no where to go And we goin' through hell now we out in the cold [Verse 1] Dear mama there's a man at the door She say don't answer, we say what for? She beat our a** and we don't answer no more We had all we could want so we ain't know we were poor Say we ain't know we was broke mama been workin' a double Did it all on her own she had no one to cover And we couldn't stay out of trouble We can't stay out the street But if you looked in her eyes, you'd think everything sweet What you know bout a cut off notice or leavin' the oven open Or wearin' your mama's socks and tuck em so no one notice No jordans we can't afford them We hurt cause we spoiled How f**in' ungrateful she did everything for us Mama single who gonna accept her with two little boys Couldn't help on the bills and we complained about chores Mama cry every night, all though she never show it I got too old to ignore it, it's time for us to do more
I tried a job but the checks ain't comin' as fast as the bills So you know what's next you know what this is This that quarter pound stashed in the outhouse 8 ounce of syrup in the frigerator flow It ain't gonna work itself out So I don't wanna hear that no more [Hook] [Verse 2] Well yeah our house caught fire we had to live in motels We had to pack up our things I grabbed my clothes and a scale Mama walked in our room I had pounds on the sink Mama turned back around acted like that not what she seen No she ain't like it at all I lied dead in her face I told it wasn't mine and it'll be gone by today Well it was gone in an hour give it two at the most That's why I grind so hard now I used to be broke Used to color my shoes we couldn't afford new kicks I put a hole in my shirt I had to learn how to stitch Mama ain't miss a Christmas got everything on our list So when we saw our cousins they used to think we was rich I sold more green than the Grinch to keep my fam out the tent We'll be out on the streets if we late again on the rent This that pull up to the house to find all your sh** on the curbside, wow That sh** so embarra**ing had to move to a whole new side of town [Hook]
