My Mom

They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow, or so I have been told

I remember the life I had was always good, you kept us out the hood
When I was younger I never understood much, but now I do

And that's because of you I love you mama, and I hope you know.
I remember you staying up late, to soak my clothes

And hung 'em up in the bathroom, all on your own
'Cause I was a picky little bastard, but now I'm grown

And I just wanna say sorry, and I apologize
I just wish I had more money, and a lot of time

But I realized that I have nothing, when I push god aside,
I need both of you in my life, but it's like I try to hide

Everyday I hold back my tears, it's like I wanna cry,
But I don't know anymore, it's like I wanna die

The pain in my chest hurts, and I don't want to be alone,
Ever since I lost my dad, it's like I got nowhere to go

Every time i wish for better things, they never seem to show,
'Cause it all disappears, in the snow, 24 below




They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow, or so I have been told

They say we're very far, just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold




I used to be about fresh clothes and getting my hair right
Just to walk outside and get jumped, never fought in a fair fight

Always called me a mama's boy, but I guess that they're right
The love we have for each other is always going to be air tight

We might be far apart now but sooner or later we'll meet again
And if I'm ever feeling down I can still call you when I need a friend

I just hope that you do the same when you go through pain
I want you to know that this love we have for each other will never change

You remember that morning you woke me up to tell me my dad died
I hope that never happens to you with grandma




I know when grandpa passed, you found the strength to cope with it
But if Farrah came at me with the news that you passed away

I'm sorry but I have to say to the world that I'm gone "Cassius Clay"
And I'll never come back with a new name just a few changes

And the personality would always be so dark and hollow
And I'd be a lucky man if I could find the strength to start tomorrow




They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow, or so I have been told

They say we're very far, just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold




I remember going to treatment for six months every other six months
I used to flip out and get pissed off and kick stuff

But look at me now I know how to control myself like a big tough
Man understand I'm a survivor because of you I've never quit once

I quit smoking cigarettes and weed in the past years
I even think im getting closer to my last beer

I remember everyone telling you how to raise me
"SHANNON!!! WHY YOU TREAT HIM LIKE A BABY, HE'S EIGHTEEN!"

I remember every christmas we ever had you were stressed out
If dad could have been there for you well...I guess you took the best route

You always made the best decisions and I was never left out
I remember so much but I just don't know how to get the rest out

I GUESS I'M TRYING TO SAY I COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER MOM
WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A JERRY SPRINGER FAMILY THAT COULD NEVER GET ALONG

BUT YOU WERE ALWAYS BY MY SIDE NO MATTER WHAT EVEN IF I DID IT WRONG
I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART MAMA YOU'RE ALWAYS GOING TO BE MY NUMBER ONE

They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow, or so I have been told

They say we're very far, just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold

They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow, or so I have been told

They say we're very far, just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold
