(female intro) ---Silent Soviet that's my hyena
(Verse 1 – Soft & Reflective)
Ain't a day that goes by I don’t feel the pain,
Wish I could take it back, all the hurt and shame.
I was young, so lost, blinded by the streets,
Didn’t see your tears when you prayed for me.
Skipping school, chasing highs, running with the crew,
Didn’t know the nights you were crying in your room.
Working two jobs just to keep us fed,
While I was out wildin’, never cared what you said.
(Pre-Chorus – Emotional Build-Up)
I know I let you down, I made you cry,
But Mama, I swear, I’ma make it right.
For every sleepless night, for every tear you shed,
I pray you forgive all the words I left unsaid.
(Chorus – Soulful & Melodic)
I'm sorry, Mama, for the times I lied,
For the nights you prayed while I was out gettin’ high.
If I could turn back time, I’d change my ways,
I just wanna see you smile, take away your pain.
I know I hurt you, I made mistakes,
But I promise you now, I’ll do what it takes.
(Verse 2 – Reminiscent & Honest)
I remember the nights when you cried alone,
Tryna hide your pain through the dial tone.
I was too stubborn, caught up in my pride,
Didn’t see the love you were holdin' inside.
Now I see what I put you through,
All the late-night fights, all the things I knew.
I should’ve listened, should’ve stayed inside,
Instead, I broke your heart with my foolish pride.
(Pre-Chorus – Higher Emotion)
I know I let you down, I made you cry,
But Mama, I swear, I’ma make it right.
For every sleepless night, for every tear you shed,
I pray you forgive all the words I left unsaid.
(Chorus – With Harmonies & Ad-Libs)
I'm sorry, Mama, for the times I lied,
For the nights you prayed while I was out gettin’ high.
If I could turn back time, I’d change my ways,
I just wanna see you smile, take away your pain.
I know I hurt you, I made mistakes,
But I promise you now, I’ll do what it takes.
(Bridge – Emotional Climax, Choir-Like Vocals)
Now I’m older, and I understand,
Everything you did, you had a plan.
It wasn’t easy, raising me alone,
But you gave me love, and you kept me strong.
*(Vocal Run & Ad-Libs: “Oooooh, I was blind… But now I see… Mama, you’re my queen… Forgive me…”)
(Outro – Soft & Hopeful, Piano & Strings Fade-Out)
So Mama, I thank you, for loving me still,
Even when I broke your heart, you never lost your will
