Momma told me I would never reach the dreams I'm chasin' Momma told me I should just stay silent in the basement I been fiending for the day my feet walk on the pavement And then they lift right off of it as I start levitatin' Momma told me I would never reach the dreams I'm chasin' Momma told me I should just stay silent in the basement I been fiending for the day my feet walk on the pavement And then they lift right off of it as I start levitatin' How do I start this? I guess with dear momma Thanks for all the nights you beat me And all this receding trauma I hate the days you say that gay was wrong and fuck Obama You left me with these violent tendencies I feel like Jeffrey Dahmer Teachers taught me don't judge a book by its cover Cause any of your friends could be a snake undercover And that was a lesson that I'd yet to discover Until my biggest enemy turned out to be my mother And that sh*t hurt me like a machete slice to the bone Always been the type to hold on tight Yeah, I ain't lettin' go Getting high while flipping syllables I guess that I'm Rosetta Stone They treat me like a joke Now I regret I ever spoke Momma told me I would never reach the dreams I'm chasin' Momma told me I should just stay silent in the basement I been fiending for the day my feet walk on the pavement And then they lift right off of it as I start levitatin' Momma told me I would never reach the dreams I'm chasin' Momma told me I should just stay silent in the basement I been fiending for the day my feet walk on the pavement And then they lift right off of it as I start levitatin' I tend to sit and ponder while you never love me Probably cause you're always poppin' somthing or sippin' the bubbly And now you only ever hit my line when you need something But I tend to block out all the lies you speak with music bumpin' I remember when they dragged me away at the age of six And you ain't even give a fuck Cause you were busy baked as shit I'm honestly surprised that in your state you pushed a double shift But soon as you were off of work You go and let the danger in Put my hand upon the grill To burn the message in my mind That I'm just a stupid piece of shit Another a waste of time Used me for them checks And got away with the crime I don't understand how people like you Think that sh*t is fine That's why I don't trust the system Cause your ass should be in prison Leechin' off the hard work of others Is how you risen' You ain't got no love for yourself And none for your children They ask me where I got my name That's cause the pain prolific Momma told me I would never reach the dreams I'm chasin' Momma told me I should just stay silent in the basement I been fiending for the day my feet walk on the pavement And then they lift right off of it as I start levitatin'
