Intro – soft, emotional hums]
Mm-mm… yeah…
Told you I’d change…
But the streets don’t play fair… no, no…
[Verse 1]
Mama, I know I caused you nights you couldn’t sleep,
Phone ring late, you prayin’ it ain’t ’bout me.
I was outside, tryna prove I’m something I ain’t,
Hidin’ all this trauma, turnin’ pain into paint.
You kept beggin’ me to stay up out them fights,
Told me that the wrong crowd gon’ take my life.
But I ain’t listen, I was blinded by the lights,
Tryna chase a feeling that was never worth the price.
[Chorus]
I ain’t wanna make you cry, Mama…
I ain’t wanna see your eyes water…
I was lost in the dark, movin’ wrong for the moment,
Now I’m tryna make it right, I promise.
I ain’t wanna make you cry, Mama…
I ain’t wanna see your heart fall apart…
Tryna climb outta all these mistakes I made,
I’m’m just prayin’ you forgive my heart.
[Verse 2]
Still remember when you said you’d never leave,
Even when the judge tried to take that from me.
I was sittin’ in a cell, starin’ at the floor,
Wishin’ I could hug you just one minute more.
All the letters you wrote kept my soul up,
Told me I was chosen, told me, “Baby, don’t fold up.”
Now I’m tryna do better, ain’t no goin’ back,
Tryna turn the pain to a brighter path.
[Chorus]
I ain’t wanna make you cry, Mama…
I ain’t wanna see your eyes water…
I was lost in the dark, movin’ wrong for the moment,
Now I’m tryna make it right, I promise.
I ain’t wanna make you cry, Mama…
I ain’t wanna see your heart fall apart…
Tryna climb outta all these mistakes I made,
I’m just prayin’ you forgive my heart.
[Outro – melodic hums]
Yeahhh…
I’m tryna change, Mama…
For you… for me…
No more pain, Mama…
