Motherless Lyrics

A 16-year-old girl was shot in the head

One time for my mama

Two times for you

One time for my mama

Two times for you

Yeah, how does it feel to be a motherless child

I sit and write out all the questions that I can't ask out loud

Ask my pops about memories, he gave me a couple

Got me feeling like, damn, were y'all even a couple

Heard a couple stories about my biological that had me heated

I met him when I was 20 and I ain't never need him

I heard he hit ya, and now I really wanna leave him

But he left me, I guess I'll be the bigger man

Your son got a bigger plan, I gotta raise my daughters

And they'll be worried about the books way before the ballers

Amiah getting taller, another one on the way now

And Gem mine too, there's nothing else I can say now

Tell Dirt what up, I know that y'all about to slay now

With three baby girls, your son ain't got time to play now

I'm thinking about y'all from when I wake up till I lay down

There's nothing I can say until heaven gates in my way now

How does it feel to be a motherless child

But first we wanna get straight to breaking details coming in overnight

How does it feel to be a motherless child

On the murder of a pregnant woman

How does it feel to be a motherless child

She was shot in the head yesterday, and then her baby delivered by emergency C-section

How does it feel to be a motherless child

The doctors were able to save the baby

Said Angie mother passed too, I hope you get to meet her

We named the baby after both of y'all, her name's Tamiya

Speaking of a younger sister, me and Crystal stay blowed

And your mom going gray, but you know her hair gold

Yeah that's Marie, do anything for me

Rest in peace to her first, buried in 93

I love to see the smiles, when people see you in me

When I'm really down, I just hit up on Nikki

I wish you could meet Tremec, Aunt Lorrie she's still a G

For anything I need, your sisters look out for me

From a haircut, place to stay, fuck it, even weed

Your brother BJ wasn't with the shit until we hit 18

Me and Jeff would do anything we could

To get a hug, a kiss from you, hear your voice say we good

Through the teary eyes and runny nose, we wanna smell your scent

Thanks for blessing us with life, we know that we're heaven sent cause we're yours

How does it feel to be a motherless child

I love you aunty Tamika, and I wish I could see you sometimes

How does it feel to be a motherless child

Tamika baby girl, I miss you, I know things would be so much better if you was

How does it feel to be a motherless child

I cherish every memory, and we shared

Love you, rest in peace forever baby

How does it feel to be a motherless child

How does it feel to be motherless

I love you Tamika

Miss you Tremeekah

This your mom

I really, really, really, really, really wish you were here

I love you so much

You're great

Your granddaughter's over here now with us

Love you Tamika

Rest in peace Mama Love

I love you, be safe

We're coming home

I'll be home

Alright
