Damn…
Last time I was in this room was the day you died Grandma.
I miss you everyday
And I love you
Grandmama gone
Grandmama missing
Now it’s all wrong
Now it’s all different
Listen… I member we used to be in the kitchen
Watching… Law & Order tryna see who did it
Damn…
But I can’t help but play victim
I know my life’s a movie, but this juxtaposition
Got me feeling outta position like I’m them and they him
And ever since I feel the same damn thing
I be tryna wing it on my off days
But I can’t tell last I seen an on-day
I think about you all time, all day
I could see your smile and I illuminate
But why you had to go? Could’ve stayed late
You could visit me, I stay up late
Piccadilly plate and some sweet tea
I love you like a fat kid love cake
I swear that these memories gon be the death of me
All a nigga know is give you-give you the best of me
I swear that these memories gon be the death of me
All a nigga know is give you-give you the best of me… Mama!
(Yeah! We gon let the beat knock a lil bit you know… Yeah!)
Grandmaaaaaaaaa
Grandmaaaaaaaaa
Grandmaaaaaaaaa
I love you
And I got you
I could never end on a hype note nigga
I could never lie when I write notes nigga
Damn
Do this shit for the Pham
Touch one of those niggas then it’s off with ya head, I swear
All cards on deck like it’s Solitaire
But I ain’t playing games like it’s Solitaire
'Cause a nigga right here holding back tears
But I just want them duffles full of millions yeah
You always tell me boy don’t work too hard
But now I get exactly what you really meant
You was tryna tell me time is limited
So spend it doing what you love and nothing else
You were such a gangsta if not nothing else
The Reverend even said it at your funeral
Eight kids, umpteen grandkids and great-grands
We gon' live for generations
This a lituation
Debbie brought the henny just to play with
We on vacation
And your life’s a celebration Mama
I swear that these memories gon be the death of me
All a nigga know is give you-give you the best of me… Mama
I did this one for you
Sweet Bessie
