[Intro]
Scorey, ayy
This reminiscin'
'Bout the times that we've been through
All the times I didn't listen
Look
[ Verse 1]
I gotta tell you that I'm sorry though my words just couldn't fix it (Nah)
And I hope that when we get older have some fun just reminiscin' (Just reminiscin')
'Bout the times that we've been through, all the times I didn't listen (I didn't listen)
All the changes that I made, and all the changes that you didn't
All the risks I had to take just doin' shit I had no business
And I gained a couple fans but know you always be my biggest (Be my biggest)
All my vision got so blurry, you was there to paint my image
And you always said I used to underestimate my limits (My limits)
I remember back when Leah passed away
I was sleepin' in your bad like every day (Like every day)
Even though my room was just some steps away (Just some steps away)
'Cause I knew that when them demons call me, you would keep me safe
And I'm sorry for all the pain I brought you , you was there to stay
You done treated me like the golden child
I was rollin' wild, smokin' loud, me and Doodie ridin', probably totin' pound (Baow)
But my name be poppin' like that top up off that soda now (Up off that soda now)
And I'm tryna carry all my posse on my shoulders now
Went from being sporty straight to totin' on a .40 cal ( A .40 cal)
Feelin' like a disappointment, tryna make you more than proud
Gotta put my heart up in the songs that I'm recordin' now (Recordin' now)
And I know that you know Bakari, momma this is Scorey now (Scorey now)
[Chorus]
Uh, I never thought that all this time was tryna keep me out of harm, it's a letter to mom (Uh)
Uh, hard-headed, never listen, never thought that I was wrong, it's a letter to mom (It's a letter to mom)
Uh, and God forbid the day you ever gotta have to see me gone, it's a letter to mom (It's a letter to mom)
Uh, just know you wise, was my all, you the reason why I'm strong, it's a letter to mom (It's a letter to mom)
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I had to thug it out, I couldn't been no lame, ma
Never trouble makin', now I stay up in my lane, ma
You know I was playin' ball probably on that game, ma (That game, ma)
But then they shoot Lil' Zuly, then the shit wasn't the same, ma (The same, ma)
Failin' at the school, while I'm passin' in the streets (In the streets)
Like I'm runnin' in the time, was goin' faster than my feet (Than my feet)
Even though you probably have me, never asked you for the sneaks (Asked you for the sneaks)
I know when them people grabbed me, you the first one that I seen (That I seen)
You done always had my back, I gave you reasons why you shouldn't (Why you shouldn't)
Everybody said give up, but deep inside I know you couldn't (I know you couldn't)
And you hate to see me high, runnin' out here 'round my boogey
But I jumped inside the streets, that's the only way it could be (The way it could be)
I was wreckless with them niggas, load it quick to stuff a fooli (Grrah)
Eatin' breaksfast at the store with 50 cent up in my hoodie (Up in my hoodie)
Totin' .50 'cause I feellike many men been tryna do me (They tryna do me)
And you used to always have me, I can't stand to let you lose me (Can't let you lose me)
And it's crazy every teacher that I had, you used to fight with (Used to fight with)
Makin' school difficult like even though that's light shit (That's light shit)
You was in the basement for me, workin' on that night shift (That night shift)
I never told you thank you for it, so I had to write this
Then I wake up stressin', when I really put you on?
Or I be another nigga they be missin' when I'm gone
I remember when you didn't want me kickin' it with Shawn
'Cause we seen my brody twist, get hit up bleedin' in his arms
And I think I really went through everything that you don't want
After all of your precautions, I ain't think that I was wrong
After all them years of fightin', some days we ain't get along
When you thinkin' 'bout me listen to this song, it's a letter to mom (Corey now)
[Chorus]
Uh, I never thought that all this time was tryna keep me out of harm, it's a letter to mom (Uh)
Uh, hard-headed, never listen, never thought that I was wrong, it's a letter to mom (It's a letter to mom)
Uh, and God forbid the day you ever gotta have to see me gone, it's a letter to mom (It's a letter to mom)
Uh, just know you wise, was my all, you the reason why I'm strong, it's a letter to mom (It's a letter to mom)
Letter to Mom
