Hey Ma
Hey Ma's Unwavering Love: A Son's Journey from Pain to Redemption
Lyrics
Hey ma,
Addressing mother affectionately.
It's hard to think 'bout what I put you through
Expressing difficulty in contemplating the challenges inflicted on the mother.
It's hard to think about the way I moved
Reflecting on past actions and their impact.
Bringing trouble to the house
Acknowledging bringing trouble to the home.
Taking drugs and coming down
Referencing drug use and its consequences.
Don't need to talk about that now
Choosing not to delve into certain topics now.
But Hey ma,
Reiterating the address to the mother.
When I was feeling pain before the stu
Recalling pain before success.
When I was feeling lost and confused
Feeling lost and confused in the past.
The only constant was you (yea)
Emphasizing the mother as the only constant.
The only constant was you
-Yea I swear the only constant was you
-Hey ma
Repeating the address to the mother.
I'm so sorry I missed your birthday
Expressing regret for missing the mother's birthday and acknowledging negligence.
I was in the worst place
-But still I should have put you first
-Hey ma

You know I love you

They feel the pressure

To a goddess on your own
-They brought you into human form
-When I have my kid
Committing to parenting like the mother and ensuring support.
Imma raise him like you did
-If he get caught up in some shit
-I'll make sure that I'm in the mix
-I know we had some late nights and date nights and brake lights that broke
Reflecting on past struggles, growth, and newfound coping mechanisms.
Through these faint lines we made ties and made time to hope
-I used to make time to smoke
-Till' you taught me a different way to cope
-I used to hide away
-But I ain't high today
-Now watch your son fly away
