Grey Hairs

Lyrics

Started from the bottom we ain't barely had shit Ramen noodles boiling in the same pot we used to piss What you know bout spending most of your day outside Cuz the rent got paid be we'en have enough for lights Wearing clothes that my uncle let me have back then My little brother got em now perfect fit for him Had enough hand me downs so my hand ain't out for shit Ion need no pity or assistance watch the way I flip This Misfortune When you hear my name you'll know of my Importance A product of a nigga who did not believe in courtship High school student pregnant but she said fuck the abortion Had to pop a bitch up in the eye her mouth was busy workin She a fighter, had the baby gave him most of what's inside her Went back into school and graduated even brighter Poetic as they come man she could've been a writer Remember listening to her sing and wanted to be just like her Fast forward now she got 3 kids 2 jobs And 1 nigga thats in and out our lives every other month Every time she cry a tiny piece of me would die Bout 12 years old I'm the man by her side I'm the man of the house fuck a boyfriend ain't no spouse Ion want em in this house cuz they ain't worried bout the fam they ain't worried bout the kids had to grow into a man to recognize what they did Momma plucking out grey hairs she intense in all her prayer At that same fucking age realized life wasn't fair Back then I only lived ion know about the bills Thought I could save a sinking ship but that was only just the tip Of the iceberg shit got real Section 8 start to trip then my grades they start to slip Momma tried to keep me focused I was giving her the lip Looking back I'm thinking damn How stupid that was of me All the shit she had to juggle still made time for me All the obstacles she facing but she still keep her patience Grown ass little kids need to learn to stay in places Thought college was me escaping But all the shit she warned me not to do I did it and it broke me Would've told my GPA she would've drove up there to choke me When called it quits and went back home she waiting there to hold me Put the pressure on me tell me get a job or go back she was tryna mold me One of the best decisions in my life result from all the scolding I'm fuck up number 1, most mistaken son, but I had to learn the ropes so I could teach it to shawn And he can teach it to vante and keep on passing it on Hope they better than me so they can help out my son Momma forgive me for all the wrong that I've done You raised all men you made us all strong Life knocks you down but you still hold on Can't express my love for you in just 1 song
