Nicole Sangsuree Barrett - Momma...
I was the youngest of three
Livin' in an imperfect family
Just like the low-income fad
We too, didn't have a dad
You told us times would e getting tough
You yelled at Daddy,
"That will be enough
I'm gone, out of here with the kids
Inside you pondered, how would we live?
Going from shelter to shelter was the pits
But it was a lot better
Than my father's hits
I wish I could have fought for you
Not much I could do when I was only two
Living with him was a constant danger
When I grow up he'll be nothing but a stranger
Momma, it's kind of hard with you not around
I wish you knew the way that I feel
When I hear the sound of your voice
If it was my choice we'd be together
But out relationship changes like the weather
I'm sorry for the pain that I caused
I didn't think you'd be hurt
When I broke those laws
I know it wasn't your fault
I should have known when to shut my mouth
It got so bad you had to kick me out of the house
I was the last to go
when I left as your foe
Going from shelter to shelter was the pits
It was a lot better than my father's hits
We were too much alike
This is why we always fight
I see that now, and it's too late
I hope you know, I feel no hate
Love is what I feel for you
And I know you feel the same way too
I regard you as a saint
I feel bad that our communication is getting faint
We all each live on our own
No one place we can call home
