View from a sun Lyrics

Hey son, it's your mama, just calling to say hello and to check on you, see how you doing

I love you very much and I just want you to know how proud I am of you

You better take out that trash, a nigga that's your ass

Back then it used to make me mad, but now I sit and laugh

You better go make a sandwich, I'm not burning my gas

But shit, looking back now, I know that's all we had

I seen you pick up a double slack when we lost our dad

Three kids by yourself, the pressure building fast

But it's not built to last, I see hard times is really telling

It was around that same clock when your heart start failing

At first you wasn't dwelling, more on doing now and never

Get a big house without your spouse so we can stick together

Needed us to keep it clean, we gotta show some effort

But me and my sisters was ungrateful, we ain't know no better

Toe to toe with your problems, knew how to bob and weave

Can't win them all when you got tired, you fell to your knees

I wonder what just had stopped you from achieving your dreams

Cause you was in your mommy mode and you didn't get the grieve

The shit that weighs on me, say it now like I said it before

Knew I was only 12, but I could've did more

Didn't know how to show mama I was here for support

It seems life had to take a detour, I'm feeling guilty for sure

Yeah

Feeling guilty for sure

Yeah

All my homies know my mama still don't play that shit

Come around with disrespect and get your ass whipped

And don't be parking your cars on the side of her house

And if you get in her grass, she gonna cuss you out

Spread it through word of mouth, I used to think that lady tripping

But as a man I understand, it start to hit me different

You used to tell me all the time I need to pay attention

Cause I'ma see it one day when I'm in your position

And that I failed to mention you was right

Had some long days and some longer nights

Had to fight, gotta shine bright just to live in life

Great advice, keep the family close

You gotta sacrifice or pay the price

Just know you got a choice so give it all you might

Just the thoughts that I get when alone

I can see it and relate, I got two kids of my own

I'm sorry for being busy just to pick up the phone

Give you a call just to see what you want

I'm missing time and it's wrong

I never judge you for decisions you make

Whether it's good or bad, that's what made me today

Even though I got room to grow, I'm stuck in my ways

Is it because I'm afraid of the change

I put myself as the blame

I move with God as I'm playing this game

I gotta keep him first, you used to tell me the same

Come up with the best but I wouldn't change it for anything

I wrote this to tell you thank you for everything

And I mean everything

Love you mama
