about

🌺 song for our mums, a collaboration with Gardener

lyrics

dear momma probably knew that this was coming
or maybe not because I'm usually frontin'
my heart ain’t usually pumping
a beat or even percussion a speech
hope it reach your ears and give you something

remember you tell me to come inside I wasn’t allowed cause
those badass kids were in the street you knew the outcome
momma how come you were so loud for me
did these things in my life so you’d be proud of me

compared to others holidays didn’t mean much
watching my friend’s mother and father swiping their visas
then watching you scrounge for your peanuts
not even heaven or earth can come between us

for a while we were all we ever had
don't remember a handout or even shopping bag
teenage girl with a child most folks stop and laugh
thank God you wasn’t Brenda could have thrown me in the trash

you've got courage in your heart
but I fear and I cower from the start
you've got fire in your eyes
and I try, but I am blinded by the light

will I ever find your hand in all of this
will I ever hear what I've been told

even when they step on your grace and try to grind you
momma you so kind with your heart
you so shine that if I was snow blind in the dark
I'd go climb a mountain in no time to find you

you probably never understand the way that I feel
and I never understand the way that you deal
for real I see now that I'm older I understand it
how broken we were but you never planned it

and me as a child I was so demanding
'cause I always saw kids with stuff that I wanted
kids tend to just flaunt it I'm jealous mixed with astonished
my shoes is not polished empty wallets

also ebgames bloordale went in the garbage
teary eyed looking at momma like no baseball no more
you grip my hand tell me Dwayne I love you so much
I'm sorry my precious boy

you are gallant, you are kind
but I fall and I stumble in the night
you've got wonder in your eyes
and I try, but I am lost without my sight

but I will fight 'cause you'll be near
and I will swallow what I fear
and I'll be kind 'cause you were here
yeah, I'll be fine and I'll be fierce

I will fight 'cause you'll be near
and I will swallow what I fear
and I'll be kind 'cause you were here
yeah, I'll be fine ma

'cause this is all I need to hear
