the root of a thing

My mama was a baby when she had me Just like my daddy My mama lost her mama to the sky And sometimes you can see it in her eyes And sometimes you can smell it on her breath Sometimes she get to talking with her chest Cause sometimes the world don't do you right The love dont hold you tight The home aint there at night I guess that's why We walk by faith and not by sight Cause what you see will have you fucked up Believing that your lucks up My mama left at 3 months took 30 years to trust her Took 30 years to muster the empathy to wonder the ways the world had fucked her Took 30 years to love her Shit Surely surely I'm my mama's child Cause surely surely I'm out here running wild And damn my nigga you just won't settle down Guess what goes around comes right back around And damn I feel it now But I got my walls up I really really wanna love you But I got my walls up I never seen my daddy treat a woman good I don't know what it's like to be understood My daddy dont like no woman who don't look good My daddy dont like no woman who dont cook good My daddy dont like no woman who gain weight My daddy aint like no woman he don't stay And he'll never understand the pain But I got my walls up I really really wanna love you But I got my walls up Baby baby baby it aint right But I got my walls up
