I’m Sorry

I'm sorry Mama
I never meant to drop out of school
I mean, I did, but I
Didn't mean to hurt you
You know? I'm sorry yeah, uh

I been messing up
Probably why I'm stressed as hell
Waking up in the morning
Ain't even dressing up
A lil make up on my face, tears messed it up
Grandma praying for me
Wishing me the best of luck
Feel like I'm falling off
It's time for me to step it up
People saying I'm a star
Well you can bet it up
Flying coach, small flight
Shit's dead as hell
Tryna land in different cities
I ain't never touched my father passed
And left us with old photographs
Mama drinking every day
That's how you know it's bad
Don't know how he passed
A lot of different stories
I know that he was young
Pop's barely saw 40 uh, sad story
I wish it never happened, man
Worse than I'd imagined, man
Ain't no pain everlasting
Watch, 'cause we gon' make it past this

Mama, I never meant to drop out of school
Yeah
I'm sorry I forgot 'bout the rules, yeah
I know you never thought I would lose, yeah
But I can never walk in them shoes, now
But I'ma make it do what it do, yeah
You know that I'ma do it for you, yeah
But I'ma make it do what it do, yeah
You know that I'ma do it for you, Mama

(You must be in hiding, when you get this
Call you don' turned your phone off, uh)

Yo, Aye, take a look into my diary
Overcoming obstacles to make a higher me
Now-a days it ain't too much out inspiring
And that shit getting in the way
Of who I'm tryna be
I know you want to see me shine
You say it all the time
I know you love the way I rhyme
You listen all the time
I gotta make it out the state
I gotta hit the road
I know you want me home
But lately I been on my own
It feels good not asking to hold a twenty
(It do) 'Cause being broke made me
Passionate 'bout money (It did)
I do my best to make
A hundred dollars stretch (I do)
Forever grateful that I got somewhere to rest
(I am)
Some kids sleeping on the streets 'cause
They ain't got a home (For real)
But, look, i'm here to speak to let
You know you're not alone
We're a team, and if you with me
Then that makes a squad if one do it
Then we all gon' have to get involved

Mama, I never meant to drop out of school
Yeah
I'm sorry I forgot 'bout the rules, yeah
I know you never thought I would lose, yeah
But I can never walk in them shoes, now
But I'ma make it do what it do, yeah
You know that I'ma do it for you, yeah
But I'ma make it do what it do, yeah
You know that I'ma do it for you, Mama
