Lyrics
momma said i'd grow up big and strong
Momma predicted I would grow up to be strong and substantial.
sorry, momma, you were wrong
An apology to Momma, expressing that her prediction did not come true.
sorry these days is all that i can say
Expressing regret for the current state of affairs, with "sorry" being the only thing the speaker can say.
these days i'm just in the way
Feeling like a burden or an obstacle in today's context.
worry not, at least you know
Assuring Momma not to worry, but questioning what achievements or tangible results the speaker has to show for themselves.
but what have i got to show?
Expressing a sense of dissatisfaction with the current situation and lack of accomplishments.
listen, shut up, you're a part of it
Being instructed to listen and stop talking, acknowledging personal responsibility and deserving the challenges faced.
i deserve all of this shit
Accepting accountability for the difficulties and challenges in life.
one day maybe all will be forgiven
Expressing hope for future forgiveness and redemption.
momma, is this what they call living?
Pondering if the current state of existence aligns with the concept of truly living, seeking confirmation from Momma.
worry not, at least you know
Reiterating the plea not to worry, but still questioning personal accomplishments and contributions.
but what have i got to show?
Reflecting on the lack of visible achievements or tangible results.
momma, i'll try better to be good
Promising Momma an effort to improve behavior, admitting that efforts thus far have been insufficient.
ain't been trying like i should
Acknowledging a failure to put in the necessary effort or to try as hard as one should.
one day maybe i will make you proud
Expressing a hope for future success and the ability to make Momma proud one day.
momma, am i the kid you wanted now?
Posing a question to Momma about whether the speaker now fulfills the expectations she had for her child.
