Lyrics
The real truth, I still grew with you my whole life
So you know my moves and why I'm used to this long life
Country momma, city son, growing up in strobe lights
Skin fair, didn't care, lying what you don't like
Notice something quick and more than others, we don't hope for nothing
Wanted me to be the young'n safe around my older brothers
Things change, rearrange, I was growing up and
Wrote a bunch of poems tryna be my own only one
You taught me how to take care of all the people around
How to separate who's down for you and who's keeping you down
How to paint a pretty picture when all the pieces are found
How to keep it going for all them I ain't seen in a while
Gave no reason to doubt, 'cause of you I'm never lazy
Gave you a reason to smile, always up and working daily
I mean you made me, and then you raised me
And it'd be crazy, if I wasn't grateful for you
And you see in everything that I try
Told me stop sleeping on all the dreams that I got
Couple seasons come by, the yard's trees in the sky
Open your eyes momma, there ain't no reason to cry
And you see in everything that I try
Told me stop sleeping on all the dreams that I got
Couple seasons come by, the yard's trees in the sky
Open your eyes momma, there ain't no reason to cry
I was fifteen, trusting not a soul like it's not nothing
But time flies and now I call you my godmother
'Cause you was there for me, saw me taking care of everything
So you said you want a hand in taking care of me
I questioned so many times, accused it of being lies
And through every little cry, you showed me you by my side
Showed me over my mind, you a mom on the job
Down to leave another person hurt for me and work with me
Then irritate and yell at me just like the one who gave birth to me
And through every attitude, tell me that it's worth it see
I know I'm a handful
But you know I'm searching for the bands, I'm a man too
You made sure when things happen, it don't break me
So many changes in my life and you was through the most
So you helped shape me, greatly, and my momma thanks you
And it'd be crazy, if I wasn't grateful for you
And you see in everything that I try
Told me stop sleeping on all the dreams that I got
Couple seasons come by, the yard's trees in the sky
Open your eyes momma, there ain't no reason to cry
And you see in everything that I try
Told me stop sleeping on all the dreams that I got
Couple seasons come by, the yard's trees in the sky
Open your eyes momma, there ain't no reason to cry
First and foremost to say the least, love you both
Even though you both be tripping on me, it's okay I know
I know you both love that I was this amazing kid
Raising up to being on the path to be amazed again
I know you both have other babies so the plate is big
But I appreciate you both for the things you did
And even though sometimes I feel like y'all ain't making sense
I deal with it 'cause I know you keep it wavy still
I'm tryna make it rich, and bring in eighty mil
A grown man now, pouting like a baby still
I know y'all hate the grills, but I love 'em though
Y'all irritate me still, but I love you though
Through the wind, with either of you, I'm comfortable
Said through the wind, with either of you, I'm comfortable
Through the pain, with either of you, I'm comfortable
Said through the pain, with either of you, I'm comfortable
