Whatever happened to the good home cooked meals
Every night, didn't matter how you felt
Coming home from work, even if you felt ill
You made sure that we ate, the love was so real
And Tutu held us down for so long
And the way you treated her was so wrong
I can't stop there, nah, the list goes on
I tried to talk, you rebel, what's going on
Tried to say that you was lonely, same sad song
None of our fathers was around, we was on our own
Tutu and Ray tried to hide what was going on
Crackhead mama, but you remained strong
Then you lost us for about eight months
Then you started thinking, dropped one bad habit
Then you started drinking, I'm a mama's boy
So, I had the fight the feeling, of losing my patience
I graduated high school, I did it
But you wasn't there to watch me walk, I'll never forget it
You put your man before your kids, that's a foul way of living
You ain't the same woman that raised me, your man made you different
No, I don't get it, you said we couldn't love you like he could
It's sounds like you addicted
And I ain't tryna disrespect you mama
Mama, I'm just venting, you changed and I'm missing

The way, the way things used to be
Said I'm missing, the way things used to be
I just want to go back, I just want to go back
I just want to go back to the way things used to be, used to be
You and me, you and me, yeah

Where would you be without Uncle D, Ray running the streets and
Q working, and I'm in school tryna better me
And Lil Khiyyah, got a mind of her own
'Cause her daddy ain't around and her grandmother gone, it's like
I could only be her brother
And there is no love stronger than the loving of a mother
I promise myself that I would never be a sucker
I thought things got better, then it got worse
Tried dealing with the pain, can't deny it hurts
Started praying every night, to see if that works
But I know things take time before they happen first
I'm tired of not being able to put it together
I can't give, give up and be like whatever, it's not in me
I'm a fighter, you'll see 'cause I'm a make things better
Them, memories of what they used to be

The way, the way things used to be
Said I'm missing, the way things used to be
I just want to go back, I just want to go back
I just want to go back to the way things used to be, used to be
You and me, you and me, yeah

Just reminiscing, what it used to be
Playing football, me, you, Ray and Quesse
What are fights in the crib, when we was bugging out
Pillows stinking, just things we used to joke about
And I used to bump my head, to go to sleep
Remember people thought something was wrong with me
Ha, I'm as sane as can be I had rhythm since an infant
If you ask me
I want it all, just so I can make it better
I mean damn, we all grew up together
You were my mother and my friend, with the unbreakable bond
That, that I thought wouldn't end
I guess I had to think again, and just remember what it used to be
Because it will never be what it was back then
My little sister ran the streets, man, that shit destroyed me
And I don't know where I would be, if you hadn't captured me

The way, the way things used to be
Said I'm missing, the way things used to be
I just want to go back, I just want to go back
I just want to go back to the way things used to be, used to be
You and me, you and me, yeah
