Momma Dont Cry

Mama, don't cry for me

This is my destiny

I was raised up in these streets

So I'ma die a G (Die a G)

March 27th was the day of my birth, my mama only 14, so I know that it hurt

She gave life to a G, that was racing the streets, and tried to teach me right from wrong

But it was destined for me, to see the Penitentiary, cause I was raised a thug

Never had a real job, and stayed pushing them drugs

Stayed tripping in the club with them Piru bloods

And at the end of the night, all you heard was the slugs

Now my mama looking proud, cause she know that I made it

Couldn't be a better father to her two grandbabies

Know my life's a little crazy, but I'm doing my best

I know I've had a lot of problems, but it was only a test

So I strive to be the best, until I'm sitting on top

Put my mama in a mansion, and my pops up on the yard

I'm so thankful what I got, cause I grew up having nothing

Watch my pops getting drunk, cause of all the fucking struggling

Mama, don't cry for me

This is my destiny, I was raised up in these streets, so I'ma die a G (Die a G)

Mama don't cry for me, I know you'll ride for me, even if the Feds come knocking

I know you'll lie for me (Lie for me)

Mama, I know it broke your heart to see me locked in a cell

But still you took the long drive to visit me up in jail

Sending calls to the mail, telling me how much you love me

When I dropped my first album, you were so proud of me

Then I started falling off and got back in the game

Couldn't look you in the eye cause I was so filled with shame

Broke every promise that I said that I would never do again

Now my mama scared as hell that I'ma go back to the Pen

But I can't stop, mama, I'm too far in this game

Even though I should be rapping out there chasing my fame

Got a God-given talent, I'ma make sure I use it

And tell my tea lady that I love her through my music

So don't cry, mama, everything will be okay

I done started my own company and now I'm on my way

Got my kids and my wife and a family to feed

Ain't no way that I could do it from the Penitentiary

Mama, don't cry for me

This is my destiny, I was raised up in these streets, so I'ma die a G (Die a G)

Mama don't cry for me, I know you'll ride for me, even if the Feds come knocking

I know you'll lie for me (Lie for me)

I love you mama

Mama, everything in life wasn't simple and plain

We had a trial and tribulations, but we still in the game

You know that life's full of pain when you're stuck in the rain

And even after divorce, you never change your last name

I really love you, mama, and I'ma make sure you know it

Try my best to change my life in hoping that I don't blow it

Either way that it goes, you won't ever turn your back

I'ma always be your baby boy, mama, that's a fact

I'm a grown-ass man, but still love you like a kid

You the first person I call when a nigga feelin' sick

You my queen, my everything, mama, you my heart

You ain't gotta worry about me, cause your boy got street smart

I'ma do what I gotta do to make it home safe

And I'ma try my damn hardest not to end up in that cage

So don't cry for me, mama, everything'll be alright

Cause I know you say a prayer for me each and every night

Mama, don't cry for me

This is my destiny, I was raised up in these streets, so I'ma die a G (Die a G)

Mama don't cry for me, I know you'll ride for me, even if the Feds come knocking

I know you'll lie for me (Lie for me)
