i was such a lost soul

just wanted to be down with something

look at your son now mommy i amounted to something

you couldn't figure out

what i had messed with the streets for

cause you saw my genius without a sat score

i took drugs and laced it with things

but you a addict yourself

for you i was people

places and things

angeldust use to have me in the hallways twurked

i tried to hide it

but visine didn't always work

i needed someone to blame in my mind

i thought if you and dad never used dope i would a came out fine

and so i hit you hard when you threw in advice

like what i want to talk to you about you ruined my life

you the reason why i ended up a con and i knew it

the reason i filled my body with embomin fluid

mommy

you the reason that my life's gone illegal

the reason i'm kinda different

don't think like normal people

not calm

she use to tell me to. calm down. moms use to tell me to. calm down. baby just calm down. you gotta hold your head up cause we gone make it

she use to tell me to. calm down. moms use to tell me to. calm down. baby just calm down. everything's gonna be alright

she use to tell me to. calm down. moms use to tell me to. calm down. baby just calm down. you gotta hold your head up cause we gone make it y'all

listen. ain't shit like seeing your moms crying on the floor

knowing you the reason why she ain't alright no more

but so young

i was like whatever

you use to chase me through the house with the knife like get your life together

fucking drugs

how could i ever amp on you

and what made me think that i could lay my hands on you

i'm not surprised that you mad at me

much as you hated my father

your youngest son is just like his daddy

mommy i live life rude

how could you not understand it

on the same note i'm just like you

i got moms sensitivity

my fathers balls

his humor

his g

and my heart is yours

fuck school

cause i had my major

come to grips that it ain't so much the drugs

it's the addict behavior

was it the dic charge

the cut that came with it

wasn't really the smoking

but the rush that came with it

she use to tell me to. calm down. calm down. baby just calm down. you gotta hold your head up cause we gone make it y'all

calm down. calm down. baby just calm down. everything's gonna be alright

calm down. calm down. baby just calm down. you gotta hold your head up cause we gone make it y'all

i felt so alone

i had a crew

but so what

then when angela stabbed me guess who showed up

and when people said i'd always be ill and twisted

and when the therapist had told us that the pills would fix it

was sick of being sick

i was finally hurt

with all the praying that you did ma

it finally worked

god gave you a son back

i won't offend you again

won't let the disease turn me against you again

use to be high as ever

joey jr. got his life together

as a result

now we tighter than ever

so blessed

so grateful to be seeing tomorrow

that's why i can't take a drink

not if even a swallow

i can't picture me twisted

like what i'm a do now

haters i can't stop yet

my mothers to proud

secure now

don't need to be down with nothing

look at your son now mommy

i amounted to something

i'm so calm

calm down. calm down. baby just calm down. you gotta hold your head up cause we gone make it y'all

she use to tell me to. calm down. calm down. baby just calm down. everything's gonna be alright

calm down. calm down. baby just calm down. you gotta hold your head up cause we gone make it y'all

calm down. thanks ma. calm down. i couldn't do it without you

calm down. calm down. you are appreciated

calm down. fa sho. calm down. it's a slow process y'all

one day at a time though. to get beautiful
