Motherless Lyrics

A 16-year-old girl was shot in the head

One time for my mama

Two times for you

One time for my mama

Two times for you

Yeah, how does it feel to be a motherless child

I sit and write out all the questions that I can't ask out loud

Ask my pops about memories, he gave me a couple

Got me feeling like, damn, were y'all even a couple

Heard a couple stories about my biological that had me heated

I met him when I was 20 and I ain't never need him

I heard he hit you, and now I really wanna leave him

But he left me, I guess I'll be the bigger man

Your son got a bigger plan, I gotta raise my daughters

And they'll be worried about the books way before the ballers

Amiah getting taller, another one on the way now

And Gem mine too, there's nothing else I can say now

Tell Dirt what up, I know that y'all about to slay now

With three baby girls, your son ain't got time to play now

I'm thinking about y'all from when I wake up till I lay down

There's nothing I can say until heaven gates in my way now

How does it feel to be a motherless child

(But first we wanna get straight to breaking details coming in overnight)

How does it feel to be a motherless child

(On the murder of a pregnant woman)

How does it feel to be a motherless child

(She was shot in the head yesterday and then her baby delivered by emergency C - Section)

How does it feel to be a motherless child

How does it feel to be a motherless child

Said Angie mother passed too, I hope you get to meet her

We named the baby after both of y'all, her name's Tamiya

Speaking of a younger sister, me and Krystal stay blowed

And your mom going gray , but you know her hair gold

Yeah, that's Marie, do anything for me

Rest in peace to her first, buried in 93

I love to see the smiles when people see you in me

When I'm really down, I just hit up on Nikki

I wish you could meet Tremec, Aunt Lorrie she's still a G

For anything I need, your sisters look out for me

From a haircut place to stay, fuck it, even weed

Your brother BJ wasn't with the shit until we hit 18

Me and Jeff would do anything we could

to get a hug or kiss from you, hear your voice say we good

Through the teary eyes and runny nose, we wanna smell your scent

Thanks for blessing us with life, we know that we're heaven sent cause we're yours

How does it feel to be a motherless child

(Jah Jah)

I love you Aunty Tamika, and I wish I could see you sometimes

How does it feel to be a motherless child

Tamika babygirl , I miss you . I know that things would be so much better if you was here

How does it feel to be a motherless child

I will forever cherish every memory, that we shared , I love you Rest in Peace forever baby

How does it feel to be a motherless child

How does it feel to be motherless

I love you Tamika

Miss you Tamika

This your mom

I really, really, really, really, really wish you were here. I love you so much

Your great, um, your granddaughter's over here now with us

Love you Tamika

Rest in peace, mama love

I love you, be safe

When you coming home

I'll be home

Alright
