Lyrics
VERSE 1:
I used to feel alive til the day you went away //
and when you went away yer place was taken by the pain //
me and mom didnt have anyone else that would help us //
i was only 8 and still in school you left us helpless //
and i aint ever felt this feeling of insecurity //
one way or another we'd make it mom kept assuring me //
but her and me would defidently struggle like no other //
she was gone so much it felt like as if i had no mother //
and my brother ? he was shot and killed when i was only 12 //
already passed thru the gates, got his ashes on my shelf //
i miss him so much but his touch is gone forever //
along with a father i used to have - so this letter - //
is ta' letchu know that we no longer need you in our lives //
we dont need your random visits, we dont need all of your lies.. //
we'll be fine even if permenantly you disapeared //
you been doin it for months at a time for many years.. //
CHORUS:
I dont ever want you re-appearing in my life - i dont need your broken promises, im doing fine without you ! //
You wernt ever there for me or mom back in the past, so im past the point of needing a father you cant amount to //
VERSE 2:
After you left and my brother died, my mother cried and so did i //
eventually a lil later mom got w/a older guy //
he taught me how ta' load a 9, and taught me how ta' hold a 9 //
and if he wasnt drinking past a buzz then he was getting high //
it was hard just gettinb y - that guy had disability - //
-checks coming in, thas what paid for all my meals for me //
and momma had a nigh shift job, w/low pay //
and after school i would hustle, all work , no play //
later the guy that we lived with would start getting violent //
and spending all of our money on alcohol and deny it //
soon he got so bad that he thot that he could go and hit mom //
and since you abandoned use i had to go and defend mom //
readily w/a clenched fist - and standin steadily //
after this fight i knew exactly what'd be ahead of me //
me and mom on the streets, strugglin thru the hell ta' come //
i won the fight w/tears in my eyes and i yelled at him //
CHORUS**
VERSE 3:
Me and mom, lately we been makin ends-meet //
im taking every hand out that Jesus lends me //
everyonce ina' while, i see her smile //
and it makes me feel good cuz shes' been thru all the trials //
that any one mother in the world could take //
i wish that i could take the pain away and keep her safe //
from every element that reality has to offer //
and do my very best to keep her tear drops off her //
me and my mother already been thru alot //
and the majority we been thru has been nothing but distrought //
so until the day me and mom reach the other side.. //
ima always and forever be right by my mothers side //
CHORUS**
