Naferati:

Da apple doesn't fall far 4rm da tree
The spitting image of my mother is me
We've had our ups and downs
The screaming battles round 4 round
But nobody's past is perfect
I wonder y bother 2 get an education is it worth it
The abuse these strangers give me I don't desreve it
Respect wats below da waist don't hurt it
I lack da courage like my mom did
Dats y there's me and 5 otha kids
There's no telling on how many baby daddy's there is
I loved u mom i did everything i could 2 make it last
I couldn't understand y u let these men treat us like trash
And u digged thru trash 4 spare needles
U did everything that waz illegal and lied saying i would never mislead u
We are innocent kids wat did we do?

  Lil Ma:

U didnt do nothing my child
It is none of ya'll fault why I'm so naive and wild
I've made some terrible decisions in my life
And right now I'm just paying the price
See as crazy as it sounds I let men treat me like trash cuz its the principals of what I do
But see I never meant for this lifestyle to be for you
No sweetie this wasn't God's plan for you
You're his precious pearl
You deserve more than that in this world
See baby I'm not strong minded like you came out to be
Yes honey I prayed everynight that you would never come to be like me
I love you so much and I swear I didnt mean to mislead you in anyway
But to give you and ya siblings a better life baby, I had to make sacrifices just to get money the best and fastest way

  Naferati:

HAH! u say i did nothing
But i feel as if i'm being crucified 4 sumthing
Ur apologies can't fix the past
While u were out selling ur self where waz dad?!?
God i'm so mad!
I wish i could take this anger away
So many times i stayed locked in my rom cutting the fear and wondering if i was gay
I feel like a stray and i barely know u
Rasing 5 kids by my self who owes who?
U say u care and it isn't my problem
That i should forgive u and any hate i hold-discard them
Well i beg ur pardon its far 2 late 4 that now
I've already dropped out of highschool and fry fries and serve cow
But i vow 2 God and 2 me that no matter how many dumb things u did i will never let that take apart of me
Well that didn't succeed
U'll be happy 2 know i blow up in weed and do bad deeds
Here i am the bearing of ur bad seeds
I hope ur happily displeased

  Lil Ma:

Yeah you sit up there and you laugh in my face
God wrote my life in pen so I know these mistakes of mine I just can't erase
Ha it makes me laugh how you can sit up there and ask about yo dad
When that sorry ass excuse turned his back on all of ya'll, yes I was all yall had
Walking around like you better than me
Like you can actually sit up here and judge me
Well baby girl let me hit you with some reality
I'm gone try my best to paint you a vision that you can clearly see
I had so many choices to make in my life
Some so horrible and regretful, yes for all of my kids I had to sacrfice
Remembering the times when you was sick, had a fever of 110
Had ya grandma watch you while I was out in the street stealing medicine living in sin
Couldn't ask ya grandma for money cause she thought i would go and get high
You and her both have judged me so wrong and I admit that everynight it makes me cry
See what you don't understand is that while trying to find money the quickest way I could
I got so caught up in the game and sweetie the game life aint no fucking good
So now can you see why i worry for you
Disappointed that you dont give a fuck about yo life like I do
Got me feeling like a hopeless mother who failed in her goals
Cause baby one of them was to make sure you would never go down my same road

  Naferati:

Its not so much a laugh but chuckle at reality's grasp
I kno thingz were ruff i'm just recollecting my life as a child in the past
U did ur best i undastand
U only sinned cuz life had da upper hand
4get a grand all i needed waz my mother
But all i had waz a nagging grandmother and 5 annoying brothers
Now u c y i say we don't kno eachother
People judge me 2 based on ur actions
They say i'm the definition of a real motherfucker
But i wonder where we go 4rm here
But i can't help looking at u w/o wanting 2 shed a tear
We lived our life in fear now we dwell in shame
It's gotten so bad i've changed my name
And yes i did ask about my father
I wanted 2 kno him-i didn't say he had 2 be Goerge Washington Carver
But y bother u never listen
Running 4rm boy 2 boy hoping 2 find wat waz missing
I give up on us but not on life
I still got a chance 2 make things right
U had 1 2 but u kept at ur long ridiculous path
I came along based on 1 reason then so did others so u do da math
I pass onto u a bit of advice
Don't think my grandchildren r gonna live a reapeat of our life
Get it right and stand the hell up
I just want u 2 admit u were wrong WOMAN UP!
I've had enuff no more making a fuss
Keep myself level headede and resist the temptation 2 cuss

  Lil Ma:

Well you say you're done you dont want to hear no more
Even though you gave up on me I can't hate you, its too much of a chore
Go ahead and be happy dont let me hold you back
I can learn to love you from a distant and still support you and thats that


She tried to come back thinking there was still time
But obviously her daughter was already gone out of her mind
Her baby doesnt want nothing to do with her she says its too late
But the mother wont stop trying believing that there is still fate
She will love her kids with all her heart and no others
But she hates that one came to be the negative image like her
