mama don't cry (feat. court fosho) - rock wright lyrics

mama don’t cry

(intro)
it’s been a long time coming
swear i talked about you on every single one of my songs on this tape
but this one’s for you
let’s ride

(verse 1)
i remember it so vividly
august 12th, a date forever held in my memory
a date forever held for its infamy
a date that still traumatizes mentally
it was the last day of the first week in the new school year-i
was half sleep in my bio cl-ss and what do i hear
my name called down to the office
well that didn’t happen to often
i was in for a series of unfortunate events that not even lemony snicket could script
you can call it a vision
or maybe intuition
somehow i knew what this was bout
years of arguments made mom want out
about a week ago, she asked me if i was down to roll
and said i couldn’t tell dad
what would he do if he knew that
knowing him he’d prolly spaz
so-i kept my mouth shut and told her i would ride
viewed it as a fantasy until the day arrived
the back of the van was packed with everything she could bring
then looked me in my eyes
with tears hers and told me that
we’re never going home again

(hook)
mama how it hurts to see you cry
mama how it hurts to see you shed your tears of sorrow
please don’t cry
it’ll be fine come tomorrow

mama how it hurts to see you cry
mama how it hurts to see you shed your tears of sorrow
tears of pain
will be wiped away tomorrow

(verse 2)
h-llo from the other side my father said
heard you’ve been california dreaming
well they foreclosed your childhood home
and in the morning i’ll be leaving
i’ve been sofa sleeping
thoughts lately have been crazy
cancer took my uncle pop now he’s pushing up them daisies
and i’m actin out
getting into fights at school
cussing out my teachers too
mama, oh there’s so much more that you never knew
in the city trying to rise above
the naybahood influence
taking my homies like a drug
remember watching the grammys
while arrests were made on my front lawn
i thought “oh my god” which one gon be my future
in a life where there’s only two ways out i had a third
i had to leave ya mama, either dad or the dirt
cuz if i stayed i knew i would die
i’m tired of living on the dark side
ooo, but

(hook)
mama how it hurts to see cry
mama how it hurts to see shed your tears of sorrow
please don’t cry
it’ll be fine come tomorrow

mama how it hurts to see cry
mama how it hurts to see shed your tears of sorrow
tears of pain
will be wiped away tomorrow

(bridge)
{me}
tomorrow
{courtney}
tomorrow (2x)

{me}
mama i know i hurt you
by the tears in your eyes
but this is not for nothing
i’m gonna make this right
mama i know i hurt you
by the tears in your eyes
but i promise you one day
i’m will make this right
for you

(verse 3)
so as i spread my wings at sixteen
i know it hurt ya mama
but pops taught me how to be a man
and it was worth it mama
many-dark days and dark nights
i’ve overcome through meditation
my north star is still pointed west
time i manifest my destination
from sleeping on the couch
to buying you a house
my road to fame is real mama
i’ve eliminated my doubts
i’m bout to obliterate my compet-tion
my fire bout to rain out
no fear left in my eyes
i’m bout let it all hang out
i’ve got my fist raised to the sky
and it’s never coming down
graduated from mental slavery
i made it baby, freedom bells ring loud
though you might not agree with the life i live
this is who i am
yeah i’m that man
from the deans list to the prince of the park
from the golden child to drunk your nights in your car
and mom i know i hide a lot
it’s cuz i’ve seen a lot
don’t worry bout me
god got me prayer of protection still surrounds me
i finally see the king in me that you see
i finally feel the energy that you feel, mama
mama!

(hook)

(outro)
{me}
tomorrow
{court}
tomorrow
{me}
tears of joy…
