True Cyphe - Mamas Beatings Lyrics

Nyack hospital
Obstacles
In my birth none to mention
Impossible hostile
Times would cum like my next chick
But first daddy left quick
Seven years of questions
95 me and meli hop a plane out to oakland
Gotta focus cause I got some questions for ya
Couldn't pronounce words why they call cow a fornia
Whole car laughing meli gave me hug
Went and stuck up for me my brother is dumb
Back to New York mom raised me in hall
While most played sports I was going door to door
I know they think it's weird but I really love it all
If you ever, have a question about Jehovah we can talk
I'm far from who I was but stay close I'm taught
Just to get a buzz I wont ever cut me short
To see my money up I wont lie it be a blessing
But what good is all the money if I miss the resurrection
Cause

I got taught lessons
I can preach to ya
But lay back blow some trees is all you wanna do
I like to zone too but all things have a season
I'm just tryna tell you what I learned from mamas beatings

Treat her like glass anything that she ask
Once yo u bury all your pain leave right in the past
If you find two coins put one inside the stash
Cause I promise rain is coming son your sunny days dont last
Hated going to class cause my skin was conversation
In the hood they didnt get it pressed it down to see it changing
Never said that I hate it cause at least then they would speak
Loved all the attn just hated being a freak
Every week I see dudes rockin the newest js
A hundred fifty what? I play video games
I need the newest madden, you say you got that too
Parents got that for you? aren't you failing school?
I never was cool played the back like a post up
But I worked my summer body now I'm ready for my close up
I ain't come wit her but she wanna put a toast up
This ones for moms belt and everything it taught us
