How can a boy grow up without
A mother to raise him
A single parent ain't enough
I know, I grew up impoverished
How is one man supposed to provide
And raise a son with discipline
I'll tell you one thing my mom did not
And I'm a failure for it
I hate what she's put in him
The way he's soft and pudgy
She hasn't changed one little bit
My son's a young me

I just want to raise my boy right
I just want to raise my boy right
I just want to raise my boy right
I just want to raise my boy right
I just want to raise my boy right
Please can I just raise him right
I just want to raise my boy right
I just want to raise my boy
I just want to raise my boy right
I just want to raise my boy right
I just want to raise my boy right
Just want to raise him right
I just want to raise my boy right
I just want to raise my boy right
I just want to raise my boy right
I just want to raise my boy

I remember how hard it was to grow up
I just want to be the person he can talk to
I may have had less tech when I was his age
I just want him to feel like, feel like, feel like
He's got a father and a...
...Mother

Mom's always expressing her concern
About the way I live my life
So what if I'm caught up in my work
It's why I'll be happy
It doesn't matter where the talking starts
She always makes it end the same way
Her soft sell makes it that much worse
When she finally reveals her hand
And When she talks about her moral mindset
I want to fucking shoot her
Is that the same mindset
That left us without meals
And I may not be overly happy now
But at least I can work towards tangible goals
Unlike your Buddhist bullshit
I know in the end I'll be happy
Sure I get distracted by inane shit
But I don't really care who is right
I've said it every possible way
Stop telling me you've heard and listen

I don't know what constitutes love
And I know I don't have to like my mother to love her
And I guess I'm
Still housing her and feeding her and letting her talk to her grandkids- yeah
But at this point all I have is the assumption
The assumption I love my...
...Mother
