You & The 6

Lyrics

Having conversations with mama, man my life is a mess
 Ain't been returning the texts, so she been reading the press
 She got google alerts, them shits go straight to her phone
 She worry bout me from home, you know she raised me alone
 She said "I heard you back with you know who"
 I told her "Girl I'm always back with you know who"
 And she like "Who are we kidding"
 "You're only 27 you just being you"
 "You're your fathers child man thank god you got some me in you"
 At least I always, at least I always see it through
 At least I'm always being true to what you taught me
 Retired teacher but your words still got me evolving
 Never get sloppy drunk, but alcohol is problem solving
 And look I hate it when you hate on all my girlfriends
 And assistants always convinced that there's always someone better
 Like that girl from that gym who trains you
 I know you wanna arrange it, you told me she's free thursday
 And I'm sure that she's a angel but she don't want this life
 The timing ain't right
 Maybe one day but even one day with us is a time of a life
 We do things that people pay to document
 You got the sweetest heart but I'm not here to give out compliments, or boost nobody confidence momma
 I got no friends in this momma
 I don't pretend with this momma
 I'on joke with this momma
 I pull the knife out my back and cut they throat with it momma
 I'm "Game of Thrones" with it momma
 I'm " Home Alone" with it momma
 I'm t-
 I really hate using this tone with you momma
 I really hate getting aggressive on this phone with you momma
 I really hate wasting your time to check a clone or two momma
 It's just they cloning me momma
 Them niggas wannabes momma
 Its like - I'm the one they wanna be momma
 I just- I- I can't be out here being vulnerable momma
 I mean I kill em every time they do a song with me momma
 I sing a hook they sing along with me momma
 What more they want from me momma?
 Yeah, this is a crazy life
 But you and the six raised me right
 "Don't ever take advice," that was great advice
 You and the six raised me right, that shit saved my life

 Having conversations with momma, we start talkin' bout dad
 You know he dropping a single, he saying this is his window
 That nigga still wearing linen, that nigga still in the club
 Call him after we get off the phone and show him some love
 That nigga memphis for real, girl he love you to death
 He made mistakes throughout his life that he still doesn't accept
 But he just want our forgiveness, and fuck it look how we living
 I'm content with this story, who are we not to forgive him?
 At least I been to a prison, at least I know what it's like
 I used to rap on the phone, one of his friends doing life
 And now I got me a Grammy, that could be part of the reason
 Let's just call this shit even, we got some things to believe in
 Do you remember back to Weston Road, Scarlett Road?
 Hangin' with [?] shit could've gone south for me he looked out for me ma
 He never let me do drugs
 He let me shoot a gun one summer but out there everyone does
 He made me listen to his music, old music, soul music
 Shit that can only be created if you go through it
 I used to get teased for being black, and now I'm here and I'm not black enough
 Cause I'm not acting tough or making stories up bout where I'm actually from
 But I just roll with it momma, rolling stone with it momma
 Gotta be careful around rolling stones or anyone that's tryna throw stones at me momma
 I'm not condoning it momma
 They will not tear nothing down I built this home for you momma
 Know I don't call enough momma
 I just been working with so little time for personal momma
 Hard labor let me pay the price
 You and the six raised me right that shit saved my life
