MAMA (Radio Edit) Lyrics

One of these old days

One of these old days

We ain't gone have to cry no more

See God's gone wipe away all our tears

He gone wipe the tears

Away

He gone wipe the tears from your eyes

Woke up on the beach

I was so high I could barely sleep

Got a text that said

I'm so sorry and I'm like what you mean

You couldn't pick another day, today is Mother's Day

I can't even imagine the look on my lil brother's face

I know my sisters' going crazy

They strong black women but still

Lord please hold them and keep your arms around they babies

Pops cried in my arms, I ain't know what to do

The love of your life, gone like that

- who would've knew

And this the second time that I seen you cry

It's getting too familiar

Long live Ms. Tammi and Ms. Marelinda

Baby I love you

Mama how the - you leave me like that

All that other - that tried to kill you

And you just stop breathing like that

Man what the -, all my mama's gone

And me and my brothers and sisters is going through it

They say it gets better with time

I'm waiting on them to prove it

I can't find peace since I lost my mind

No peace of mind

Somebody I know lose they life

Feels like I lost a piece of mine

They say keep on keeping on

God I'm trying

Word to Huddy, but my Life's Journey ain't no clothing line

I mow the lawn and watch for the snakes you gotta know the signs

I'm a little older now

Everything I learned is hitting harder, it's more potent now

I'm folding out my funeral clothes like a lawn chair

I don't want to go

I hold my tears, they feel like I don't care

I got to persevere, I know my hearse is near

They say the worst is fear

But I ain't scared of -

Except all of my people dying and I'm still here

By myself, going through it

Yeah I'm strong, but I'm feeling like I can't do it

I can't hold no more

My shoulders heavy I don't got answers no more

Don't know what to say or which way to go

I don't even feel right with my kids calling me daddy

Then I seen mine laying in that long black caddy, uh

I love ya

One of these old days

One of these old days

We ain't gone have to cry no more

See God's gone wipe away all our tears

He gone wipe the tears

He gone wipe the tears from your eyes
