[Verse 1] We left the city maybe 20 after noon And everybody that I'm buddies with are in a pissy mood Cause we was running 'round the hood And getting mud up on our shoes, that sh** was dumb And I was leaving in the summer after school I've been shut, haven't run my gums Or ask my mom to pull over the van So I could maybe say goodbye to Travis too Cause Saginaw was all I knew I'd gotten comfy with my girl And that was just a month before We up and left the many students Who I'd come to know as soon as Jeremiah'd introduce us Doing what I could to keep a smile but I couldn't Cause as soon as them losers saw a crooked tooth They'd be duking, attacked my f**ing image But anyways it was stupid I'd always knew I was ruthless Didn't know how to prove it Hung out with the coolest motherf**ers I could crew with Homies were always moving, soon as we hit a spot up They'd call me every time And every time they'd call me new at this Mom had always knew what kind of person that I'd be And now her work is getting less And I've been nervous to leave her I'd murder each and every person If it meant to see you burden-less Never deserving of the words and I have hurt you with I'd write a verse about your perfectness to me And how I always hit a nerve to get you cursing at me You know I learned so many things From what you heard and what you've seen That I brag so much, I'd bet the average person would agree You mean everything me and I'm upset to see you crying Well wipe them tears away You know there's make-up on your eyelids Sometimes, I'm under stress and you message just in time Remember biking in the highest of temperatures just to whine Then you'd find a phone and always hope that Dad would come and drop it We'd share a cold refreshment up at the Sonic in Austin Mama, we'd always be playing games up inside your office Chazz and I would grab the magic markers and be drawing sh** Wasn't long ago that I would hug you from my toes I know you probably sobbing but promise to let me go, Mama [Hook] Take pride in yourself, you're always here in my heart I'll never want something else, no one compares to the mark, You engraved, that you gave, that you made on me And you're always gonna be my wings Take pride in yourself, you're always here in my heart I'll never want something else, no one compares to the mark, you engraved, that you gave, that you made on me And you're always gonna be my Queen [Verse 2] It took nineteen years for me to say what I think I miss the nights you'd sit here and I'd be faking to sleep And now I'm late to every dinner with a plate just for me I've been away too many situations, maybe I need To take a look at the picture that I've been painting for weeks, It's just a blank piece of paper I see You ever wonder if an angel can read Every emotion that you hate to release? Well that explains how my mothers able to read me so well And make me appreciate the air that I breathe I take for granted all the patience for the phases I lead I take for granted all the ways you could leave You face a panic that you could've raised us better Believe me when I say I'd never change a single thing I'm alright I'm always thinking of a better way to say you'll be fine Just promise me that you'll be waving goodbye [Hook]
