Write you a letter You know how it is wit us Everything ain't perfect wit us You know I love you, right? [Verse 1] This right here This a letter to moms To let her know that all the sh** Im doing is wrong I know she love me deep inside, but we dont get along At one point of time we used to have the strongest bond I mean dont get me wrong You know I love you Ma You know that we be jokin and playin from time to time But it ain't how it use to be And both of us know why And yeah you put me away in them group homes a couple times I was mad atcha So I ain't even say goodbye The first time you put me away I can't forget I felt empty inside Thats a feeling I dont normally get You said you was fed up and that I made you sick I said I hate you But you know that I didn't mean that sh** I ain't trying to play the victim Or act all innocent Its more to our story And the book ain't finished yet Cuz I ain't even gonna lie I done did a lot of sh** Like that time I stole that money you was saving for the rent And then you got me locked up Ain't come to court you let me sit I couldn't even be mad I guess that was what I get I just wanted to be like other kids And I didn't have sh** Yeah I knew it was wrong But at the time I didn't care I know I hurt your feelings I could see it in your tears I tried to change a lot of times Mom Im is who Im is You told me ta go to school And just for you I did When I got that diploma, you was smiling ear to ear That was the first time I saw you happy in a couple years I remember when I was 12 Way back a couple years I used to come in your room and sleep at the bottom of your bed You ain't have no man I was the only one you had You ain't have no friends You was the only friend I had I got exposed to the streets Jumped off the porch a 14 You wanted me to stay a baby I was trying to become a man But Im thankful for what you taught me It made me who I am You raised me old school You taught me I ont need no friends I remember in 03 when I was about 10 You told me you was goin ta buy me what I need That was about it And now I understand why you did the sh** you did I ain't understand then cuz back then I was a kid But I appreciate it all Thank you for everything you did If you ain't do what you did I prolly wouldn't even be here,Ma Yeah Thank you for everything you taught me Ma Taught me ta be my own man Never be no follower Chase my dreams and all that and get money Be independent YADAMEAN Imma get there(So I make a way) I ain't forget what you taught me You know I ain't forget Ain't forget what you taught me Know what you taught me Ma Heyyy I live by it Every day Love you Ha, ha ,ha Got that I ain't forget what you taught me
