For You Mama Lyrics

[Intro]
Rest in peace to my beautiful mother
I swear on everything I miss you

[Hook]
For you mama
Ima change my ways
So you can sleep at night
And don't have to pray
Man I do this shit for us so we can change the game
Man I know you're mad
When they say my name
But for you mama
Ima change my ways
Ima change my ways

[Verse 1]
Suicide thoughts cause I'm stuck in the cell
If the devil's really true then take me to hell
If y'all niggas really my fams how come y'all never visit me in jail
How come you wasn't there when I received that mail

Damn I can't believe my mom is gone
It hurts me right now that I gotta make this song
Damn mama you don't know how much I miss you
I wish I could be there with you so I could hug you and kiss you
And tell you how I feel when I was in the cage
Real talk y'all niggas haven't felt my pain
You don't know what it is to lose your mother
I do this for my sister and my brother
And I hustle cause I gotta feed my daughter
And ever since I came outta jail
I done done it smarter
And real talk I'm still grinding but a nigga grinding smarter
And I hope man I ain't never get caught

[Hook]
For you mama
Ima change my ways
So you can sleep at night
And don't have to pray
Man I do this shit for us so we can change the game
Man I know you're mad
When they say my name
But for you mama
Ima change my ways
Ima change my ways

[Verse 2]
I think about you all the time
I see your face every time my daughter cry
And you don't even know how I feel inside
And I swear to god I wish I could see you one more time
I just wish you was alive
I wish that you could carry my daughter every time she cries
I wish that you would have met her
I wish you could have dressed her and even put on her sweater
She beautiful
Just like you
I hope when she grow up she be just like you
Even though I do bad things I hope when I get older I be just like you
Cause mama I swear to god you was an angel from the start
And I love you this is from my heart
When I seen you I was in cuff and shackles
But mama
Man I swear this is from the heart
When I seen you in cuff and shackles

I couldn't even hug you so how you think I felt
Man I swear to god that my life is real
[Hook]
For you mama
Ima change my ways
So you can sleep at night
And don't have to pray
Man I do this shit for us so we can change the game
Man I know you're mad when they say my name
But for you mama
Ima change my ways
Ima change my ways

[Outro]
Trust me
If you lost somebody
You know how that shit feel
I was locked up
When I found out about my moms
Man that shit broke me down
But I'm still standing
And if you ever lost somebody
I feel for you
So I hope you feel for me
This is real nigga
Rest in peace to my mother
Fly high
