She was young
He was smooth
They
Didn't know
What to do, and
When it happen
He disappeared
Gone gone gone
She kicked you out
Of her home, and
You hit the streets
All on your own
Doctors said
Believe in hope, but
You aint got no time for it no more
You looked at us
And then you knew
What it is
You gotta do!
She was too young to be
Acting that old, you see
She's got four kids at home
Waiting to eat
Only enough to feed
The ones she loves
They plead
Mama! Wont you eat with me?
She said child you aint gotta worry
Just close your eyes
I'll be
Just fine
Four months in, she couldn't save up
And all of your tears scream save us !
Four months in, she couldn't bathe us!
She was crying but she never gave up
See I know its hard for you mama
So I try my best not to bother
I do my best in school
Just to put a smile on you !
She was too young to be
Acting that old, you see
She's got four kids at home
Waiting to eat
Only enough to feed
The ones she loves
They plead
Mama! Wont you eat with me?
She said child you aint gotta worry
Just close your eyes
I'll be
Just fine
You think we don't hear you cry?
Late at night
See I know you're hungry mama
See I know you love me mama
So you lie through your teeth
And say that you're fine
And still worry about me !
Well don't you worry mama
Ima take care of you
Buy you that house you wanted
Thats where I'll cherish you
Find me a woman
Just like you wanted me to
Oh you raised us so strong mama
But now we must bury you
Oh Ima take care of you mama
Ima take care of you
Ima take care of you mama
Ima take care of you
She was too young to be
Acting that old, you see
Even though she is gone
I know she's watching me
