"mama's sick and tired"
  by LyricallyDamaged


mama's sick and tired of me
wanting shit I don't need
Offended by my own greed
Stressed out cuz' although she feeds
my belly, she could never please
my mind
cuz' mama's baby always finds
that mama's all is never enough...

Ungreatful ... me? Damn my mama's tough
says whatever she feels, but that's a mothers love.
upset because of my silly comparisons
always crossing the line
Damn momma I'm sorry
for being blind
Choosing to unappreciate the effort you
put in
100percent
from you, all the time
Can I have a nickel? shit momma gives me a dime.

mama's sick and tired
of my actions
I'd often ask.. mama why won't you abandon
your imperfect daughter?
but I guess that what makes her a great mother
because mama's NEVER tired...... Of me
See

I refused to learn how to cook
white clothes turned pink
imperfection, filled with flaws, always at the brink
Edge, tip, of a mistake
Wake....... UP call
mama picks me up each time I fall
keep in mind, I trip every time I step
but mama hasn't left me yet.

i wonder why.....
Shit, I'd leave me
I'd often ask.. "mama are you blind?"
cuz it's like she never see
any of my mistakes
Wait
Never mind... she just disregards them

Mama's just sick and tired of me wanting
to be, look, and act like everyone else
"Damn Child, Just be yourself"
Fancy hair, clothes, and shoes
things I thought were cool

Never defined me

and mama's tired as well as sick
of me wanting it all
When I already have.... ENOUGH.

-- but that never stopped her from caring

for... me
