ASK ABOUT ME Lyrics

I heard your mom ask about

Me

Your dad I never met him

But every time he talk about you

He seem sentimental

And you take all of the family into your arms cause

If you went without him you'd do yourself too much harm

I seen a lot of flowers bloom

But also see them shower soon

If God don't got no power

Then why did we meet

Well I presume that maybe it's my lucky day

Or may I meet my luck today

I share my middle finger with you to give all my fucks away

Counting all the conversations we had on my hand

Thought we had it and had a plan

But the havoc we had was damned

Gave a sense of security

But you grabbed and ran

This is robbery of my heart

And the thief is at it again

Yeah and now you laughing again that's why I spazz on the pen, I'm not a masculine man

What kind of sort of this feeling out of order I'm dealing with

And just cause I'm a man it doesn't mean I can feel the shit

Your pops came from a little town

I think they call it Chattanooga

His pops would always carry rounds and grip the chrome and grab the ruger

Taught him how to feel no ways

He hit him once and hold him twice

Your daddy life a gamble and when he had you he rolled the dice

Drunken days and sober nights

Mom would always hold the knife

Your daddy screamed to mommy

You better stab me dethrone my life

Shaking trembling you were only nine when this happened

You traumatized from experience

You was supposed to be napping

I told you that I love you

You told me that you need me

And to this day that I met you

I told your parents be greedy

Your daddy stepped out the house

Your mama was like a soldier

That's why you give no attention to men when you growing older

I told ya

I heard your mom ask about me

Your dad I never met him

But every time he talk about you

He seems sentimental

And you take all of the family inside your arms

Cause if you went without him

You'd do yourself too much harm

I've seen a lot of flowers bloom

But also see him die out

The tears you shed should water your garden baby so cry out

Life is filled with valleys but when it takes you to mountains

Remember who climbed with you

Cause those are ones you ain't doubting

I seen you walking yesterday

Our eyes were interlocked

Or was it just another girl I seen across the center block

All these other girls be wearing higher heels and dresses on

But you was wearing Nike sweats with Jays and my lil' sweatshirt on

God done sent a blessing on

You done came in blessing form

Eyes gon' tell a story my lesson's gone when I'm less informed

Confident enough to start conversation how dare if I

Offend you about your past

And if I can add I am terrified

She was there to hold it down

I was there to hold her up

She done always have my back and ask me how I'm holding up

She ain't have a father her mama working to make do

And we just fell in love from the trauma that we relate to

Shit I think it's hateful

Maybe I think it's spiteful

Maybe we could make babies so they don't turn to our rivals

Make it to their recitals

Doctor checking they vitals

To be the dad you never had would be the pop appraisal

Shit I mean appraisal, kneeling down to the Jesus

Jesus Christ saved my life

So I give him glory to make through

I know you cry inside from every night to the day

But I can be your shining light to put the frightening away

I heard your mom ask about me

Your dad I never met him

But every time he talk about you he seem sentimental

Yeah and he seem sentimental

But I

But I

I heard your mom ask about me

What she say
