Wrote this a few years ago.message is still the same...
Mama loved me pops left me….those are the only lyrics I remember off Jay’s song…
Today…of all days it seems most appropriate
Honey I’m pregnant..
Talk talk talk…
Buying pampers..buying the crib…buying baby food
Visits to the hospital…convulsions…
Back pain..breast pain..abdominal pain
Big belly..stretch marks…constant hunger
Cause feeding two people at once
Complications at the hospital
‘he might not make it..it’s gonna be him or his mom’
‘then let him live..’she says without hesitation
Ignoring my dads helpless puppy eyes
Push push push
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
She’s screaming
I’m kicking in her belly
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I’m screaming too…
Caesarean it is..cause I’m too big
I’m too big cause she overfed me…
She overfed me cause she overloved me…..
I come out…months later I am outdoored
And baptized…
Apple sauce…breast milk…vitamins…the best baby food possible at my disposal
She cleaned my ass…rocked me to sleep
And sucked the mucus out of my nose when it was blocked and I couldn’t breathe
Years on …she took me to school…the best she could find
At the same time she took me to church..the best she could find
Then she got me clothes..the best she could afford
Then she prayed for me day and night
Like that Kid Cudi track
Day and night
She thought for me and about me
Then when I got big enough to blow my own nose
Wipe my own ass
Tie my own shoelaces
And cook my own food
I turned around and threw everything she gave me out the window
I said..’I’m a grown ass man’
So easily forgetting that I am not amoeba and did not reproduce myself…
Arguing with her over the littlest thing
Picking my friends over her
Calling her old school..an old hag
Pause pause pause..
It sounds terrible the things I say right??
Some of u think I would never do this to my mom
So I ask you WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR YOUR MOM?
I gently remind you that there are two different types of sins
The sin of commission..which is when u blatantly tell her to piss off
And the sin of omission…when you hear her crying…see the pain in her eyes…
And then walk away like nothing ever happened
When Boys 2 men be playing you be singing ‘mommma I love u’ cause u know the words
…forgetting that love is an ACTION verb..not a passive verb
Talk is cheap…
Momma im sorry for everything I ever did…
I know you only want the best and gave me the best you could
So many jobs ..chances to kick it with your friends..meet new men..u turned em all down
Cause u loved me..
Momma I’m sorry
As of today..everyday is mother’s day
Eph.6:2-3
Honor your father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; so that it may go well for you, and that you may have a long life on the earth
