Everyday Songtext
von The Relativez

Dear mama, I never spoke out, holdin′ on to pride
But I feel it's time to release this pain inside
It was never a moment I didn′t feel you loved me
I just didn't want crack to take my mama from me

I know it was rough, me and you at home
A young single mother, with a son at home
With all the constant pressure of city scenery

But I just tried my best to show what you mean to me

You helped me through it all, when my heart was torn
Cause I was in jail, denied to see my daughter born
I learned a lot mama, turned my life around
Along with Dog, us and Bone, we like brothers now
Thanks for prayin' for me, blessings for me and my girl
And carin′ tellin′ just like me, I wanna give her the world
I just wanna thank you mama, for times you talked to me
I gave my hand to God and now he walkin' with me

Everyday in my life seems to be gettin′ harder and harder
Thinkin' about doin′ right, steady doin' wrong
Who′s right, who's wrong


Me and you was only 22

I remember like yesterday all the stupid things we used to get into
I mean mama had a hard time controllin' us
But that couldn′t stop the state from parolin′ us
We on the streets, me and you
They saw me, they saw you

My younger brother, we was closer than one and two
That's why I can′t believe she had the strength to do it
Mama called and said you died in the trauma unit
It's a cold world and it′s gettin' colder, lookin′ over my shoulder
I keep thinkin' you gon' walk through that door any day now
And it was all a bad dream when I saw ′em put you in the ground
But I shake it off, gotta keep it poppin′
I'm makin′ beats now, got the whole world jockin'
But I′d trade all the money in the world
Just for you to spend one day playin' with your baby girl

We used to go half on tapes, and catch car
Drive down to show, get at Ross
Now you gone my nigga


I miss you to the point I got to write a song my nigga
We cool homie, Big Wy fresh out
Little Dwan just turned 4, he in school homie
And Wiz got a daughter, she look just like blood
Rhonda, Ryan, Lamar, they all good
As for moms and pops, they doin′ fine
Cause I believe that you check on 'em from time to time
Cause I can still feel the pain when you left that night
It was like a sign from God to help me change my life

This music is all we got, send me a blessin'
Shield me, cause the streets is tryin′ to kill me
The only child, so I′m gon' hold it down
Look out for moms and sisters, while they still around

Everyday in my life seems to be gettin′ kinda harder
Oh yeah, oh yeah
A grown man cry sometimes
Stuck in jail without bail make a grown man cry sometimes
Oh yeah
It's gettin′ kinda harder
And love is what we want to be stronger
