David Levine Bramante - Mommy (Demo) Lyrics

Mommy was my best friend, raised me on food stamps
Taught me how to hustle, how to get up when I can't
Called her mommy for a long time, safety in her arms
Watched her struggle through the storms, trying to keep us warm

She was young when she had me, just 21
Too young to handle life, when it had just begun
After my baby brother was born, felt like we were on the run
Chasing dreams, fleeing nightmares, always under the gun

Now the money's rolling in, she became my worst enemy
But deep down in my heart, she's still a part of me
Trust shattered like glass, but the love remains the same
Mommy, I still love you, despite the change in the game

After years of fighting with me, she thinks she was right
But I was in my twenties, she had a law degree's might
A tough match to win, turned my brother against me
Family ties broken, in the fight for who could see

I text her on her birthday and Mother's Day too
But silence is the answer, no response comes through
The loss of a mother and her favorite son
A bond that's now broken, where we once were one

Now the money's rolling in, she became my worst enemy
But deep down in my heart, she's still a part of me
Trust shattered like glass, but the love remains the same
Mommy, I still love you, despite the change in the game

From best friend to foe, the journey's been tough
Mommy, I miss the days when love was enough
Dreams turned to dust, but memories still shine
My first love, forever in my mind

Though I can't trust you, my love never fades
In the shadow of the past, where our memories wade
Mommy, my best friend, even through the pain
In my heart, you'll always remain
