Why you gotta go and be
Responding with nothin' but haste
Why you gotta pile your hair up high
Showing your tummy like you got nothin' to hide girl
But we know the truth lil mama
You scared and full of fear.

We once were tight, invincible
But I've felt myself drifting and turning away
Here to stay though the times ain't easy
I can sense it
You can't take responsibility for your actions
Or let things go
You say and release everything in the exact same tone
And I just quietly think
This is why you drive people away.

I see you in your corner
Your corner of infinite entitlement and doubt
And its okay lil mama
That you attach every discrepancy
With a neurotic uncalled for laugh
And bring a naysayer look to every table
You occupy more space at
Then you probably oughta.

But I got your back
Because thats who I am
Though you hold fast
To your own will
And will not.

I hope you wake up in your own way.
