The Palmer Squares - Yo Yo Ma lyrics

INTRO: Word to your mother, say word to your mother Word to your mother, say word to your mother I won't let you down.... ACUMENTAL: Yo, it's like this... From a dirt road and pink bricks To a fur coat and sleek kicks We can dream big, no sleep, throwing darts at the bar Sharp shootin like it's seal team six... sh** You were adopted and I coulda been too but you raised me amazing I pray i can do the same for my baby, maybe start dating and meet my soul mate and make her my lady Cause i know you wanna see me settle down But i been creepin on the prowl Leap into the sky, mile high, like an eagle in the cloud When I play I wanna see you in the crowd... proud of me Theres no doubt when you take your last breath Ill hold a cigarette to your lips if you wish, just ask And speak this rap acapella if the disc gets scratched.. Cause when I fought and lost, i was taught to wash the pain away and heal when I walk the dogs Yo yo ma, pose for the photo op, I'll pour another Disaronno shot, the flow dont stop No guap but you made ends meet so when i make it to the Grammys I'll save you a seat Right next to me, i been blessed so expect to see me thank you in my acceptance speech fasho You're so gracious... Even wrote a poem and every quotes an ode to your greatness You can feel the soul in my vocals ma' so when the Coda's over, keep Cadence The beat changes, the sweet fragrance lingers, breath deep, repeat the blunt truth I love you...up to the sky and with all my heart because without you I'd fall apart TERMINAL KNOWLEDGE: Like I'm sayin I just wanna thank you for raising me right And im ashamed...been lying to your face everyday of my life And the spark to the flame, from the flame to the fire it ignites Find me getting high in the basement, you ain't trip cause time the only thing turn day into night And it ain't like its supposed to be, wonder into a maze and pray that I find the exit My momma is a saint, my father is an athiest I'm hollerin at satan cause he got me on the waiting list The pot boils over, slow burn The childs only concern is their own turn Dad turned mom into a single parent while my a** burnt out, incoherent on the couch Now I'm sorry that I wasn't empathetic instead of just pathetic My momma hardly ever get the credit she deserves so forever I'm indebted to her Never ever sweat it, it never ends After the second wedding... daddy left again like Shame on who? deja vu, say it with me now Ode to ma dukes... BRIDGE: I won't let you down, I won't give up I won't let you down cause you never gave up on me (I just wanna thank you for raising me right) I won't let you down, I won't give up I won't let you down cause you never gave up on me (time the only thing turn day into night) Word to your mother, say word to your mother Word to your mother, say word to your mother
