Plies - Momma lyrics

Hey, Mama, know I ain't never tell you this before But it really hurt me knowin' I'm runnin' you crazy I wanna talk to you real quick My momma told me while I run these streets she can't sleep Her phone ring late at night, she think some'n happened to me Her nerves so bad right now she can't even watch TV She turn her head every time she see a police She scared to look 'cause it might be me in the back seat Whenever she hear about a shootin' her heart skip a beat She heard the Feds was in the town, her knees got weak She know I'm at the house, the only time she at peace Her blood pressure through the roof all because of me Her favorite words is 'Dope ain't the only way to eat' She told me other day she hope I don't die in these streets I just pray to God she don't wipe her hands with me I'm a goon to the streets but to my momma I'm still her baby Raised a street n***a by yourself, you a hell of a lady sh** I'm doin' now got nothin' to do with how you raised me sh** k**in' me to know I'm runnin my momma crazy Goon to the streets but to my momma I'm still her baby Raised a street n***a by yourself, you a hell of a lady sh** I'm doin' now got nothin' to do with how you raised me sh** k**in? me to know I'm runnin my momma crazy Remember the nights me sittin' up in a cold cell I'm wakin' you up out of your sleep, it's me callin' you from jail You ain't say it but I know inside you mad as hell You called off from work just to bond me out of jail I get in trouble, I call you, seem like it never fail Can hear you now, "Boy, you need to sit your a** down somewhere" I come and eat, I take a shower then I'm outta there I know I'm stressin' you at times, seem like I don't care You wrote bad checks for me to have somethin' to wear You risked your freedom for me, nowadays that's real rare Every time I think about the sh**, I wanna shed a tear That's why I buy you some'n for Father's Day every year I'm a goon to the streets but to my momma I'm still her baby Raised a street n***a by yourself, you a hell of a lady sh** I'm doin' now got nothin' to do with how you raised me sh** k**in? me to know I'm runnin my momma crazy Goon to the streets but to my momma I'm still her baby Raised a street n***a by yourself, you a hell of a lady sh** I'm doin' now got nothin' to do with how you raised me sh** k**in? me to know I'm runnin my momma crazy You did the best you could with me and I love you for that Wanted me to stay in school but that ain't where my heart was at I got exposed to the streets and fell in love with stacks And all the times I hurt you wish I could take it back When Daddy left us you stepped up and took up his slack I know I'm selfish and feelin' there's some'n I know I lack This sh** I'm doin' now I know you raised me better than that You taught me how to be a man and showed me how to act Sometime I wonder how you still proud I'm your son After all the stuff I took you through and all the sh** I done Well, like you told me when God want me, how I can't run Before He take me, want you to know how much I love you, Mom I'm a goon to the streets but to my momma I'm still her baby Raised a street n***a by yourself, you a hell of a lady sh** I'm doin' now got nothin' to do with how you raised me sh** k**in? me to know I'm runnin my momma crazy Goon to the streets but to my momma I'm still her baby Raised a street n***a by yourself, you a hell of a lady sh** I'm doin' now got nothin' to do with how you raised me sh** k**in? me to know I'm runnin my momma crazy I think I'm speakin' for every street n***a 'round the world I don't think we sit down long enough sometime Just to realize what we takin' our momma through It hurt me to know, dawg, that I'm runnin my momma crazy And it really k**in' me to know that I'm help k**in' my momma
