Momma Told Me

This is for you mom dukes
 My appreciation for what you taught me
 Through my youth
 All the way 'til I flew the coop
 This the truth
 I love you mama
 Momma told me
 Don't fall in love whenever you're lonely
 And if I fall in love make sure it don't control me
 Cause every flower in the garden ain't rosy
 (Yeah)
 Momma told me
 Become the plug don't depend on nothing
 Everyone is just here for something
 Your heart is just being prepared and toughen
 So you could not fear for nothing
 (Don't be scared of nothing)
 Not your death or just
 The Rejection or love
 We quest for love
 Cause it's the best kinda drug
 With an addiction you can't kick
 So Kanye shrug
 I used to hide love until I remembered that it was
 The way I was raised up
 I stayed prayed up
 At times I could've gave up
 Was never laid up
 Was saved but
 When it got bleak was afraid but
 You taught me out here nothings handed
 Took a while to get the picture no Candid
 I know right from wrong but wrong seems right
 Know how to be strong, you showed me what it's like
 All my life
 I will hold onto your lessons and sacrifice
 In my spirit forever like a Poltergeist
 Momma told me
 Don't fall in love whenever you're lonely
 If I fall in love make sure it don't control me
 Cause every flower in the garden ain't rosey
 (Yeah)
 Momma told me
 Become the plug don't depend on nothing
 Everyone just here for something
 Your heart just being prepared and toughen
 So you could not fear for nothing
 (Don't be scared of nothing)
 Like what's out in the world
 When on the defense never curl
 To protect your mom, your sisters and your girl
 Throw up punches like you hurled
 Never back down lay a smack down
 And if your rock is swirled
 It won't be igneous
 Don't be envious
 If you struggle focus on ending it
 Don't talk to strangers
 But an animal be friends with it
 Cause their broken hearts need mending to
 Like reaching new heights you gave me different views
 And if I fall I can ensure I'm gon stand
 From my birth started molding to become a man
 Determination and compassion goes hand and hand
 So I'mma make it so you're good, that's the plan
 Momma told me
 Don't fall in love whenever you're lonely
 And if I fall in love make sure it don't control me
 Cause every flower in the garden ain't rosy
 Yeah
 Momma told me
 Become the plug don't depend on nothing
 Everyone just here for something
 Your heart is just being prepared and toughen
 To have you not fear for nothing
 (Don't be scared of nothing)
 Don't even let family put fear in your chest
 Even when they ain't standing me I know that I'm blessed
 With your blood and your flesh
 Not said enough but I love you to death
 For you, I'm trying my best
 To be in music no clef
 I'll take every step until I run down my shoes
 Until my last breath I'mma hustle, I don't wanna lose
 The person who birthed me
 Feed me and burped me
 Should get the mother of the year award
 Cause momma you worthy
 So when you're dead and gone
 I'll do more than mourn
 At your eulogy, I'll make sure this song's performed
 To perfection even though it won't calm the storm
 Cause you're the reason why my heart's so warm
