​​I know that Tidy View's mama

But I'm gone treat her like she my mama

Brothers from a different mother but that's our mama

I never got the chance to really know bout my mama

Cuz growing up I only saw her move like my mama

I remember losing faith asking God why my mama

I want those simple things like shit you need a ride mama

My babies older now they asking where they grandmama

I close my eyes and try to find the best way to describe her

They call yo mama tidy

They called my mama Bird

I had to find a way to cope

I guess I'll write a verse

These verses put me in my purpose

Called ya phone the other day

Heaven need better service

I didn't get the answer so I sent the text

We did it Motown records

That's all it even said

I can tell you proud of me and you smiling down

But I would trade it in a second just to see yo flesh

Two jobs working overtime she got it out the dirt

I just wanted that rumble pack, you put in extra work

I just wanted them Jordan 12s, you put in extra work

And I don't get to pay you back that's gone forever hurt

But for what it's worth I be catching yo blessings they feel exclusive

I'm gaining power, I promise I won't abuse it

You keep a nigga grounded I hear it before i lose it

To know you went out smiling that feeling is therapeutic

I got a lot goals but I'm never the one for hooping

Tidy passed the ball to view he threw me alley oops uh

It's full circle how you put on for the team and you ain't gotta lace yo shoes

That's just what mamas do, yeah yeah

Okay they say in due time

They gon' all watch you shine

And what you do in the dark

It's gon' all come to light

So now we lit and we gon' keep the fire burnin huh

I'm lookin at you cuz you'll never let me hang 'em up.

I gotta do it for the ones that's coming after us

I know they wanna draft us, we already in the rafters, it's Mary's time.

Thomas was my daddy last name but I honor it because my Mama kept the shit

No education ethics what you taught me lessons wit

Gave it all and still mustard up what was left to give

I can't repay you but to thank you mama let's begin

I saw divorce rip your soul apart

You cleaning crackers houses to create this home of ours

We would fuss a bit but mainly I was well aware of all the pride

You had to swallow so we wouldn't starve

Damn the commitment to your baby boy

You gave me hope for everyday you couldn't give me toys

To see you proud of who I am is where I found my joy

They say woman can't raise a man but damn you filled the void

I still remember how you cried

Screaming at Christmas time to my Granny because he lied

Telling you that he had it but smoked it instead of tried to

Undermine his addiction and make home to provide

what a burden mama, and I'm so sorry that he let you down

I'm on my grind and in due time just know I got you now

See in this life there's no rewinding

So we pushing P, L A Y beside an ocean, you deserve a crown

You raised a King and imma prove it

You told me I could be everything so I pursued it

I told you I was done with the field I want the music

Anything I accomplish in life cause you produced it

That's on Charlie nigga

They didn't hate you cause you was Black Tidy

When I asked View's mom the other day

She looked inside me eyes and I could tell she ain't know what to say

Cause I'm Black momma

I know I'm only 16

But we ain't got it how they got it

But for school I need new jeans

Cause I'm Black momma

You went and got it how you got it

Walked to school, road buses

With only change in yo pocket

Cause I'm Black momma

Shit ain't set up for me to win

That's just a fact momma

And if you had to

Know you'll run that shit back momma

You'll stand tall Through it all

Cause you a Black momma

And who better than you to do it

The pain and rainy days

Overcame and got use to it

Cause you black momma

I kno I can't but if I could

I'd pay it back momma

I know my siblings would too

And you ain't have to lace yo shoes

cause that's just what mamas do, yeah

I know my siblings would too

And you ain't have to lace yo shoes

cause that's Just what mamas do, Qwan

Okay they say in due time

They gon' all watch you shine

And what you do in the dark

It's gon' all come to light

So now we lit and we gon' keep the fire burnin huh

I'm lookin at you cuz you'll never let me hang 'em up.

I gotta do it for the ones that's coming after us

I know they wanna draft us, we already in the rafters, it's Mary's time.
