Dear Mama by TyFontaine Lyrics
[Intro: TyFontaine]
Nothing but my true self
I know you see nothing but my true self
[Chorus: TyFontaine]
I know you see nothing but my true self
There were some times when you thought that you failed
Love so unconditional, I ain't have to say a word
You still know how I felt
And I can feel your pain, can't explain, it's so real
Had to pick up the phone 'cause we talk 'bout four times a day
Proud of you, you proud of me, look how far we came
It's a promise to you mama, shit won't ever be the same
[Verse 1: TyFontaine]
Put it on me, your son gon' make a name
Put it on my back, carry the legacy
Know my mama, my granny told me that we eagles
We fly higher than the rest, no we are not equal
Dyin' for your love, never tryna change my ways
And now I understand why you was always on my case
Instilled in me that I'm a king of [?] (King)
King to miss my family, gotta protect it all
Lied, cheated, [?]
Still believed you, oh my God
And ever since you beat the cancer
Taking care of you, protecting you at any cost
[Chorus: TyFontaine]
I know you see nothing but my true self
There were some times when you thought that you failed
Love so unconditional, I ain't have to say a word
You still know how I felt
And I can feel your pain, can't explain, it's so real
Had to pick up the phone 'cause we talk 'bout four times a day
Proud of you, you proud of me, look how far we came
It's a promise to you mama, shit won't ever be the same
[Verse 2: TheHxliday]
Dear mama, you done seen I paved a way
Seen I shut them haters up at home, they on the way
I know them millions, they all on the way
Told me she proud, she don't know what to say
I see my ex call but I won't answer
I see them hatin' ass niggas prancing
'Cause now they see that I have diamonds on my neck, they dancing
They see that I'm a young rockstar, I feel like Manson, oh-oh
It's not easy, nothing to say
I'm just tryna get rich so, who could you blame?
I'm just tryna get used to the way that things changed
Gotta keep my people up, keep me tame
[Chorus: TyFontaine]
I know you see nothing but my true self
There were some times when you thought that you failed
Love so unconditional, I ain't have to say a word
You still know how I felt
And I can feel your pain, can't explain, it's so real
Had to pick up the phone 'cause we talk 'bout four times a day
Proud of you, you proud of me, look how far we came
It's a promise to you mama, shit won't ever be the same
[Outro]
I just wanna say
Thank you for everything
I wouldn't be who- who I am without you
I love you, ma
Nothing but my true self
I know you see nothing but my true self
[Chorus: TyFontaine]
I know you see nothing but my true self
There were some times when you thought that you failed
Love so unconditional, I ain't have to say a word
You still know how I felt
And I can feel your pain, can't explain, it's so real
Had to pick up the phone 'cause we talk 'bout four times a day
Proud of you, you proud of me, look how far we came
It's a promise to you mama, shit won't ever be the same
