Dear mother,
I love you like no other
I know you always praying for me, always got me covered by the Lord's eternal mercy and grace, by His hand
So now tell me, how do you raise a man?
Cause my father wasn't there and where he cannot you can and I'm the evidence
You said that I could be whatever, even president
I know you meant it
When a male is raised by his mama, you know she in his story throughout the periods and commas and the nonsense
Even throughout all of the girl drama
All these people want my time and my signature, too
But do they really know that I'm just a miniature you?
And I appreciate you fully, this one was made and played by yours truly
This one was made and played by yours truly
Dear sister,
Just know I always miss ya
They only I time I see you year round is in the winter but it ain't a enough
Growing up was tough up in the D, watching family twist and turn can be a tongue twister
But I know you always down for me, we like some blood blisters
So what's next, we go from MI to the TX, you go from TX to the GA
I didn't know if you'd stay but looking back on it now, yeah we probably needed some space
I'm kidding, you know that you're my favorite sibling over no one else
Even family we choose for ourselves
And when we don't have much to say, the love can speak for itself
No one can match against your beauty, this one was made and played by yours truly
This one was made and played by yours truly
Dear Jesus,
I hope You not only hear this but you see this
I'm constantly caught between You and this world that I compete with
And it's leaving damaged and worn out
And I don't know where I went wrong but I know I'm not too far gone
I'm surprised that I've been dealing with the same old things for so long
And truth be told, I'm sick of being me, I know who I should be
I'm sick of the routine, I'm sick of falling short
But most of all, I'm sick of these demons that torment and torture me when I'm weak
Man, I get so weak
But I know that if you call me Your son then I know the war is already won
That when You said it was finished, it was already done
This life was made and paid by You, it's Yours, it's Yours truly
