Mum's Son

[Intro]

Knew that she was there

(Yow, Sam)

[Verse 1]

Now my mum, she played both roles, she made me who I am

And if I could, I wouldn't change it cah it turnt me to a man

She wouldn't miss a game

And any time I played, I knew that she was there

No matter what the weather was, she wouldn't care

I'm sorry for the times I had you upset

Knew you never thought I'd be this way when me and Mali had the bunk beds

I'm sorry for the dumb stress

And every tear you've shedded, it's embedded in my head

It really broke me when you told me you don't wanna see me dead

And every wrong I make, I know that you're the one to understand

Before I used to leave your hugs, they were as tight as rubber bands

I know you're proud of who I am, my loyalty, you told me that

You told me, "Watch out for your friends" and all the ones that hold me back

You don't support it, but you hear it

Why? I love you, mother, dearest

Taught me morals and the rest to have a clean heart and respect

Remember times you wouldn't rest and I would come in late from steppin'

But you always had a clue, even searched me for a weapon

Mum, I'm sorry, I can't say it enough

For all the times they had your boy up in cuffs

And you weren't changin' the love

And I can't say it enough

I'll do anythin' to make you smile

You'll ask me for a little, but you know I'll go the extra mile

[Chorus]

Now when it comes to you, there ain't a thing I wouldn't do, there ain't a thing that I would change

Mum, you're perfect how it is

And I'm sorry for them nights when I was out there shootin' pipes

And not once did you deny, you always said, "That's my kid"

Never once did your love done

I'II say it proud, I'm my mum's son

She never likes when I give lump sums

When it gets hard, blud, I can't run

And all the effort, know it can't done

What can I say? Cah I'm my mum's son

[Verse 2]

I know you'll never change up cah you taught me that

And even when you wouldn't have it, found a way and brought me that

I'm sorry for the times when I would say I'm at a friend's

When I was really with a phone and I was trappin' out the ends

And you would phone bro like, "Where's T? I can't sleep"

"I'm sorry, aunty, but I don't know, he ain't with me

He ain't answerin' me neither, but I'm sure that he's all good"

Bro's lyin' for me, he was with me there up out the hood

All the stress and all the pain and yet you still love me the same, this shit's fucked up

So many times I broke my mum's trust

Gun tucked, still give her a hug before I hop out

Taught me put my all in, why'd you think I ain't a cop-out?

I remember when I first got nicked, and every time after that

To stop me seein' the tears, you put your head in your hands

And nothin' beats it cah it's pure, you know it's mum's love

And you know that it's different when you're mad and get your mum's hugs

[Chorus]

Now when it comes to you, there ain't a thing I wouldn't do, there ain't a thing that I would change

Mum, you're perfect how it is

And I'm sorry for them nights when I was out there shootin' pipes

And not once did you deny, you always said, "That's my kid"

Never once did your love done

I'II say it proud, I'm my mum's son

She never likes when I give lump sums

When it gets hard, blud, I can't run

And all the effort, know it can't done

What can I say? Cah I'm my mum's son
