MTQ (Mama Te Quiero) Lyrics

Mama te quiero, papa te quiero

I just wish that I could take ya'll out this ghetto, and

Even though shit wasn't always sweet

Ya worked hard to just to make them ends meet

But I was tight cus I couldn't get fresh, and

You wouldn't let me sleep at my best friends, but

You gave me food and you always paid rent, so

What u really taught me was to cherish every cent

Still, I was mad, I ain't even gonna pretend tho

Cus shit hurt when all my friends had Nintendo

Now I get the message that you was tryna send tho

Family is all that really matters in the end tho

Damn, goin thru a bad few years, I'm

Literally tryna rap thru tears, it's

Been a while since I laughed thru here

I'm wondering why God put my path thru here

This one for u Cos, this one for u T

I know I don't talk about this shit usually

But ya my brothers, rest in peace to ya mothers

I just pray to God that they smiling from above us

Depression got me messing everything in my direction

Up, lookin up to God with such questions like

Where is my blessings? Cus all of my stressings, I'm

Turnin' 'to lessons, but ain't nothing working out, I

Took ya direction, kept the faith, I never questioned, I

Tried the nine to five but ain't nothin' working out

Shit. My shorty know my struggle

I just wish that I could be more for u

Stack some bread, be more fun for u

Get out my own head, make a fucking son for u

Things in my past that u can't get passed, i love u

But they say that good things never last so

Sometimes I miss u, even when u right in front of me

It's like i'm watching this shit crumble right in front of me

Damn. It's all because of me

And I barely crack a smile cus I hate how i'm living but

It's killing her, u gotta understand the feeling of

Dealin' with someone who always in his feelings and

Giving all ya love, feeling like its not enough, but

It was never you, it was always me

Now I gotta talk to u thru this poetry

It was never you, it was all me

And I just wanna talk to you

To the niggas locked down in a cell

Or back home but u in and out jail

Listen, I understand that ur life must be hell, but

I really hope u see the light and prevail

Cus ya Pops was a killer, now he dead or a lifer

Ya Moms cudn't deal with it, so she picked the pipe up

Now u a dealer, and u rock alotta ice but

U robbin' niggas just so u ca pay for diapers

U know my pops been robbed once or twice too

It hurt hard cus he worked all night too

And even worse he from the hood just like u

U see now why we gotta break this cycle

Don't let yo pain cause pain to another

Each one, teach one, let's gain from another

Cus that opp got a sister and a mother, so

You shud learn to see that nigga as ya brother, so

Put the guns down and pick the love up

Fuck a run down, we gotta come up

Cus every sun down aint followed by a sun up, so

Before they gone, tell somebody that u love em

Put the guns down, pick the love up

Fuck a run down, we gotta come up

Every sun down ain't followed by a sun up, so

Don't be afraid to tell somebody that u love 'em

Peace!
