letter to ma

momma got that title for the mvp

she don't really know what she mean to me

you were only 17 when you got the news that daddy left to know life would've changed for the both of yours

not only that but changing people that were close to you cuz teenage pregnancy is not something the public is not open to

but you were brave! chose to leave your life behind knowing that the end of yours would also be the start of mines

knowing you were young and i surprised you both ahead of time

changed your whole life for contractions and an aching spine

and even then still managed to run errands to ride my whole life you played the role of both parents

so ma you know what i'm saying your little girl when times were sicken and rough it was just us against the world well its us against the world

and i hope one day you're proud of me hope i make up for all those time you ever doubted me

but on the real in my eyes you were always my queen momma got that title for the mvp

momma got that title for the mvp

she don't really know what she mean to me

couple years down the line and moving spot to spot tryna find a house but we never really had the glock

see back then i know you had to sacrificed a lot i prayed every time i heard you cry and saw the tears you dropped

man i was young so i never knew what i could do try to think of how you felt and put myself inside your shoes

but they were to big and i was just a little girl trying to comprehend how i could fit into my mothers world

and then you met a man i thought would make a difference give you everything and show you just what you were missing

3 siblings down the line and i thought you were forever but sometimes 2 people ain't supposed to be together

so its back to square one me momma and the kids tryna show them i could be a father figure and a sis but

you don't need a king to know your a queen momma got that title for the mvp

single mother of 4 kids i got a question
