MAMA'S EYES

I am who I ams

Love it or leave it, baby

While you reminisce I've been gone

Two years and a fortnight

I'm friends with the lowlifes

I'm drunk tryna get high

Still waiting to exhale

Come out of the shadow

Five feet barely three quarters

In your stilettos

Like pineapple Mentos

Your favorite confection

I'm sweet like your perfume

Strong like your mind is

Your skin dripping richness

Tend to your flowers without a mention

You won your wars

You laid down your sword, then gave me the weapon

You say keep my promises but I don't

I should prolly listen more yeah, mother, I know

I just wanna be dancing again

I know I'm to blame, I gotta heal these scars on my own

I should learn to listen more yeah, mother, I know

I just wanna be dancing again

I know

Don't it feel good

Don't it feel right

When you come home to, home to mama's eyes?

Don't you feel good

Full up with pride

Seeing yourself in, self in mama's eyes?

I am who I ams

You are every woman

Whitney and Chaka

No one could ever be put above ya

I always believe you

Open my eyes if you say it's alright

Now I'm here at Heathrow, sunken and see-through, tryna catch my flight

Hush now, she's speaking

Preaching her sermon

The golden rule is never to lose yourself for a person

Bebe and Cece play in the kitchen

Say, mama, you in daddy's hoodie swinging your hips while you do the dishes

You say keep my promises but I don't

I should prolly listen more yeah, mother, I know

I just wanna be dancing again

I know

Don't it feel good

Don't it feel right

When you come home to, home to mama's eyes?

Don't you feel good

Full up with pride

Seeing yourself in, self in mama's eyes?

Love it or leave it, baby
