Why I Hate My Momma

from A World Only Gods Know by Alpha x Scorcese

/

lyrics

Verse: (Scorcese)

Mama, Mama I had to write
had to fight, I'm a fighter
Let's go twelve rounds don't think about it
Let me speak my peace ain't no shame about it
Hate you cause you should have quit
Flushed me away I'm a piece of shit
Washed your hands but you never did
Now I'm pissed as fuck from all the shame I get
Hate you cause you love me, that love is unconditional
The charges, the fuck ups that love still unconditional
I know I'm sounding cynical, but how I'm supposed to match this?
Almost died at six months but you save me from a casket
Chicken pox, sickle cell, grand theft auto in a county jail
You was right there and I mean right there
Now I'm living my worst nightmare
Cancer cells, chemo treatments
Blind to your pain but you see no evil
Going insane while you sleep so peaceful
Ask me to pray but that seem so fecal
But I, losing you wasn't worth my pride
I held my tongue when you met my eyes
Let you speak then I mumbled amen
As you went back to sleep I just started thinking

Hook: (Scorcese)

Wrote a letter to my mama, tell her why I hate her
Said I know you love, always used to say this
Why settle for average? You could be the greatest
All I bought was sadness, you never repaid it
Tell me why I'm worth it? Swear I'm feeling worthless
Know I don't deserve you, but this whole world do
Oh why oh why oh why oh why oh why
Why I hate my Mama...

Verse: (Scorcese)

Sacrifice, Sacrifice used to complain about eggs and rice
Cube steak was a gourmet meal
she flipped and chopped no samurai
In the dark you candlelight, First bundle you found that
Kicked me out, that’s aight, 30th street, long nights
Two jobs, no sleep, sacrifice for my prom night
But I tricked em all, I tricked it all
Shopping spree, I spent it all
Kiss lemme see that scale cuz
Gotta weigh all the pain I caused
We gon make it off the strength of you
Shoulder loads like it's ten of you
Times ten, times ten, triple that number
Then times ten
These ain't lyrics they real life
Painting these pictures no still life
But there's still nights when I lay awake
Whole christmas on layaway
Two more payments you laid off
Bounced back, made a way
Took a charge no fadeaway
Now bills due, our rents due
Your selfish son just steals from you
All because he fiends for new pairs of shoes
Fuck up after fuck up but my Mama's love is still proof
Fuck up after fuck up but my Mama's love is still proof

Hook
