mom & dad Lyrics

When you look at me what do you see

When you look at me what do you see

I had to grow up with no mom

So I got different prayers

Had to grow up telling lies

Because I didn't get no letters

I wrote these songs to my demise

Now when you look at me

And though my aunty gave me love

That love is different see

I had nobody at my games

When Josh not on the team

How can I forgive

When I don't trust at all

Still it's hard for me to live

I might just end it all

Still I'm trying not to judge

I know your life was hard

I know you couldn't see your kids

From behind them bars

I know you think about mistakes you made

But think of us

Laura never had a childhood

From raising us

Joann went from raising two kids

To raising six

So one day I'll give her tulips

While she exist

All them notebooks full of raps

This be my favorite poem

All them days I envied them

Like where do I belong

All them days I couldn't deal with it

Nobody helped

Only love me because I'm talented

And nothing else

Really had no where to go

I slept on Moso couch

Had to pack my bags and go

My sister kicked me out

Feds took my aunt away

Uncle loss the house

I got no peace of mind

She tell me that I got it made

Bitch I'm tryna change the world

My brother need a plane

For all them days he had to walk

This is not a game

My sister need like ten cribs

For all them homeless days

What's it's like to have no mom and dad

Listen darling can you hold my hand

What's it's like to have no mom and dad

I'm just hoping I can love again

I had to grow up with no dad

So I got anger issues

Sister husband used to punch my chest

Got breathing issues

You was right around the corner

But ain't come to visit

You was out there selling crack

While I was in them trenches

Netty tell me I should write you

Like I'm not a victim

When I needed your support

You wasn't in them bleachers

Now you finally want to talk

Because you got the time

Judge gave him fifty years

He killed a man with knife

Only thing you ever did for me

Was buy me shoes

And I gave them shits away

Them hoes was retro too

I had no one to teach me

What it's like to be a man

I mean my uncle probably tried

But he was angry man

While Derrick beating on my sister

God didn't lend a hand

Had to grow with all this trauma

And got used to it

Daddy never came on Christmas

Guess I didn't matter

But I'm sure he had his reasons

And he still my father

What it's like to have no mom and dad
