I see the past still hides in your closet
I see you can't move, we're just starting the process
So, now, I'm afraid to God that you're making some progress
It's not that I don't believe, but I'm just being cautious
I see the guilt weighing heavy on your conscious
I see that all the pain isn't gone as a constant
I hope that you can step back and put it in context
That man, he belongs in a coffin
I hope, one day, that you will see
Everything I did was for you and me
Everything I did was for you to see, you to see, you to see
And I hope, one day, that you'll believe
Everything I have, yeah, you gave to me
And everything I am 'cause you made me, you made me
I wish I had a verse with some better words
Wish I had a hope that you never heard
Wish one day that you wouldn't hurt
'Cause, mama, you gave me the world
I wish I had a way with some better rounds
But I still can't say what I can't find
I wish one day that you wouldn't cry
'Cause, mama, you kept me alive
Whatever you need, I promise I'll try
I promise I'll try
'Cause, mama—
When it all comes up when we’re talking
I know you're tryna save me the pain that it's causing
I never see you crying, now I hear that it's pouring
So, let me be the roof while it put up the flooring
I know it's not meant to be something you're forcing
But I wish that you could force a little more. It's important
'Cause now it's your time and you're turn to be open
And everything you kept in a box, you can throw it
I hope, one day, that you will see
Everything I did was for you and me
Everything I did was for you to see, you to see, you to see
And I hope, one day, that you believe
Everything I have, yeah, you gave to me
And everything I am 'cause you made me, you made me
I wish I had a verse with some better words
Wish I had a home 'cause you never heard
Wish one day that you wouldn't hurt
'Cause, mama, you gave me the world
I wish I had a way with some better rounds
But I still can't say what I can't fight
I wish one day that you wouldn't cry
'Cause, mama, you kept me alive
Whatever you need, I promise I'll try
I promise I'll try
'Cause, mama, you kept me alive
'Cause, mama, you keep me alive
