Songtexte FLAT shasta (feat. Ash Leone) - Ray Vaughn

Momma
I used to watch you scam and sell dope
But as of now, I don't know what to tell folks
When they ask me 'bout you
Knowing it's been a couple months since we done spoke
So, I try to break the tension with a joke, ha
Truth is

Momma, you need meds for schizo', but you won't take it
If you lose all your marbles, you ain't gone have none to play with
A black woman who crying for help and I'm tryna save her
The last thing you wanna be called in this world is crazy

Aww, poor baby, I'm just praying that your Shasta ain't flat
'Cause you say a lot of shit that you could never take back
Is that the reason why my daddy left? Just tell me the truth
My sister Bri act just like you

A whole litter, you pushed seven of us out by the age of 25
I don't see you when I look you in the eyes
I'm looking for Ayesha
I'm looking for the woman that's inside
Just let me know when she arrives

Mouth full of pills in front of us, could've died
The world on your shoulder, how heavy is suicide?
If God took you then, I wouldn't wanna be alive
Shit, if God took you, then I would be at war with God, yeah

I wish I could save your smile
I wish I could ease your mind like you have done for me
Momma just stay awhile
Don't leave me like the tears that fall from my eyes
I'm not crazy at all
I'm not crazy at all
I'm not crazy at all
I'm not crazy at all

Sometimes I wonder
If the reason I don't treat bitches right
Is 'cause I've never seen you get treated right
If you pass me the cycle, then I'm fucked up for life
'Cause every nigga that you get with you fight

Uh
Just let me know what happens when our little hugs run out
Momma, what do I do when all the drugs run out?
Momma, your mind like a drink left in the sun
The bubbles are gone, the damage is done

But I keep pouring my love into your glass
Praying one day this storm gon' pass
I need you bad, I-I need you bad
To the woman that smoked weed with my brothers right before class
To the woman that I love way more than my fucking dad

Can I borrow one of your laughs and can I steal one of your smile?
And can I hold onto your joy? 'Cause I ain't felt that since a child
And if it wasn't for your womb, I wouldn't be breathing right now
I swear to God, I just need you right now

I wish I could save your smile
I wish I could ease your mind like you have done for me
Momma just stay awhile
Don't leave me like the tears that fall from my eyes
I'm not crazy at all
I'm not crazy at all
I'm not crazy at all
I'm not crazy at all

Momma, if you hear me, then I'm still your son
Even when the darkness comes, I won't run
I pray one day that you'll find your way back
And that your Shasta never goes flat

I'm sorry for not noticing sooner, you know I'm one of your troopers
Forgave you for everything, you're only a fucking human
Remember we lived on Hoover, on church grounds Hallelujah
When you beat the shit out me for talking to you like I'm stupid

Used to work two jobs, but you don't work no more
I know you're hurt, but I don't wanna see you hurt no more
I feel like dying or just killing myself
Watching you lose your mind, and can't do shit to help

Nigga, you done drank all my motherfuckin shastas?
Nigga, you over here, letting you sleep on the couch
And you in this bitch drinking all my shit?
Nigga, if you don't go take your ass down to the motherfuckin' dairy
