This for all the black mothers around the world and those that resonate with this message
This is a heart song from son to mother and the village that sustained this bond
More specifically from yours truly, JaVeon
Mama, I know it well, life is the foundation, ark of the crown Jewel
I proudly wear the crown, hand me down oral traditions that pass superstitions
Your intuition is the reason I shine with attention, golden brown, barely getting round, you were 16
A young queen, full of passion and young dreams, altered in a second when your son became a blessing
We grew from Karma lessons, it was written in the message
The strength you hold is a mighty pose, quiet soul biding lows at the church's shift next to Bilo's
I'm eating grandma's chicken, they got me hostage, their eyes are watching, expressing love, my clothes flossing
Options of acquittal for my father, very little, he spent his time in prison, he was reaping what he didn't
But still I had this pigment, all I needed was a filling, sensing a blank canvas, there was Steve for the vision
Black mothers, one time, one time for all my black mothers, yeah
Put your hands in the air for all my black mothers, yeah
Nothing but pure love for all my black mothers, and I love, and I love, yeah
Black mother, I will honor you by staying fresh, they say we blessed, three in name, one for your chest
As I progress, I remember how you toil, tilling every morning just to get the top soil
Instilling in your children to observe other's feelings, empathy, compassion, confidence, God willing
We reflect the vision that you hid in your intentions, every game we know you came, you sat in the attendance
Graduation parties you were planning our remembrance, now I know why soul glows, your love is the imprint
Remaining in my heart, eternal spark with the incense, the smell of cocoa butter I remember as an infant
Live in every phase, every day is your invention, proud to be the source of your pride when you mention
Young JaVeon when the mothers speak my name, I promise to be better and my core will never change
Black mothers, one time, one time for my black mothers, yeah
Put your hands and get drinks in the air for my black mothers, yeah
If you're feeling proud and loud for the black mothers, and I love, and I love, yeah, black mothers
