[Verse 1]
Growing in the hood man I swear it wasn't easy
Had to find a way how to make a shady living
Didn't have a job so I had to make a plan
In no shabby clothes so my life was just a pretty lie
Look, even mama couldn't comprehend it neither
Nor all the nieces not even any sibling
Ever since my daddy died man I was a father
Being the father figure turned me into a loosely grinder
Turned into a gangster, turned into a lier
Coz everytime I had to lie to my poor mama
And sometimes she will cry in those late hours
"What's the job dear God where he's getting money?"
Every time my heart bleeded deed inside of me
There was no remedy, prayed to God for leniency
What I pray for more, "let my mama live"
To see all the change and how sorry I am
[Hook]
Dear mama, I know you ain't proud of me
I don't blame you, I put you through a lot of shit
I'm just praying to my God you could live long
Maybe you will see the change coming from the wrong
Mama all I ever wanted was to make you proud
But I didn't had a clue that I made you cry
Please accept the little sorry coming from my heart
Mama I just pray to God you could live long.
[Verse 2]
So I had to join a gang just to make cash
I was young and so naïve mommy understand
See I thought I was a man, crying everytime when you shooting all those words at me like
"Is this how you wanna live always on the run?
Why you always wanna put your life on the line?
Thought I didn't raise no fool but damn it was a lie
Why you call yourself a man if you'd never man up?
You think they have your back all your friends you calling day ones?
Cubans with an arrow shooting straight for a kill
Gone so many times to the court to appeal
And I always curse the day ugly bastard you were born
BP shooting up everyday to its max
I was on the phone, talking to your uncle saying I should come back
My health is at stake, know when I leave I will never come back!"
[Interlude]
Commotion caused by gangsters
[Verse 3]
I admit it, I done lotta wicket shit
I done robbing all those grannies in a pension scheme
Devil in it, he'll be flaunting off the past
I guess it made me realize what it wasn't right
Look nigga, the choice is only yours
Either gangsterism or you get a job
It only took a bullet just to realize the wrong
Nigga always be on guard never improvise your soul
Why you wanna risk it all just to get linen?
Didn't play it right you don't have to be the villain
Mama I just pray to God you could be a friend
Hope you'll ever realize how truly sorry I am
[Hook]X2
Dear mama, I know you ain't proud of me
I don't blame you, I put you through a lot of shit
I'm just praying to my God you could live long
Maybe you will see the change coming from the wrong
Mama all I ever wanted was to make you proud
But I didn't had a clue that I made you cry
Please accept the little sorry coming from my heart
Mama I just pray to God you could live long.
[Outro: Mom]
Ufuna kwenta kutsandza kwakho
Kufun' uhambe la, ungahlali nami
Ngoba phela awufuni kungilalela!
