I need you mamma

by Nadia   Jul 2, 2004


I remember the nights when I use to cry myself to sleep
But I still held up my head, although my game was week
I cried “mama” everyday, please come home
I need some care Caz I haven't yet grown
Remember the days when I use to just sit and reminisce
Never thought there was a day I couldn't handle this
All the pain and memories you left behind
You are my queen and my kind
I'm your child
Aren't I?

Remember when my dad left me at age six
Didn't give a damn
Everything stayed crisp
And mama when you cried your quiet tears overnight
I heard you because I was always at you side
My brother, my only friend back then
Turned his back on me when he was only ten
He told me am a Lil girl and he's a grown man
You didn't want me to have friends
So I was left to my loneliness

I remembered when things got hard
And there was nothing to eat
My biggest fear was ending up on the street
In school I strive for A's and B's
Bad Company led me on to C's
Then you turned your back on me like my dad did
And my brother became your favorite kid

I was leaning on thin air
I started falling but no one was there
It appeared that no one cared
My fear became my best friend
The street was where I end
No more did school even mattered to me
Guns and fights became my top two priorities
When I realized
No more did I need the street
That's when my life started popping heat
I ran away and had two arrest at age fourteen

My whole life changed
I got baptized and came to Canada
To start a new life
Now here I am, thinking back on those days
And mama you promised this wont happen again
But look around; it's the same shit happening
Only “worse”
Mama break this curse
Before this “worse” become “worst”
