Tr.Mateo - Mary Theresa Lyrics

Uh
I know you wanted me to sing for you
Go ahead and pray on my knees for you
I know you wanted me to sing for you
Go ahead and pray on my knees for you
I'm trying
I said I'm trying
You know how hard it is to wake up every day
And wonder if you gone get paid or not
I go and work at this bullshit ass job
With kids who's parents smoke rocks
And I dont get enough money to make it on my own
Cuz I make too much to get a government loan
Just so I can own my own
It's been 7 years since we been living here with my momma
My kids done grown
Up in these streets
"Alief" is what they call it
My father died, an alcoholic
I'm trying to show them a better fate than this hood
But I feel it's too late
My son Mateo tryna make it out so he can by me a house
I done always wanted
My husband couldn't afford it
We separated in 2012
And I took my babies away from a place we called hell
Little did I know that this was worse
I done got my purse stolen many times
And they done broke in my car, the middle of the night
And I'm trying to put up a fight
But I feel I'm losing sight
I wanna show my kids a better life
I pray every night, for my ministry to grow
So I can own a house and stay at home
And I won't have to work at that job anymore
I'm trying
I said I'm trying
Now will you pray for me?
Cuz I'm trying
I know you wanted me to sing for you
Go ahead and pray on my knees for you
I know you wanted me to sing for you
Go ahead and pray on my knees for you
I'm trying
I said I'm trying
"Dear momma I'm sorry for all the pain i done caused you
All the blame I done brought you
All the times that I fought you
All the nights, that the cops were here"
I know you fear
Sometimes I feel like I lost you
Sometimes I feel that I rob you
Of your innocence
And all the things that we've been dealing with
All this fear i know you feeling it
And lately I been thinking
Maybe we can leave this how it is and move on
I know we have our differences
But move on
Move on
Move on
Move on
Move on
Move on
Dear momma I want you to know
That I love you and I'm sorry if you think I didnt
I know I was angry for a minute
I was letting it get to my switches
My switches would switch on them fellas
I grew up with hoodrats and drug dealers
On this side of town there was blood killers
But they couldn't f*ck with us
This is your son mateo
It hurts my heart to see you stressed
Cuz deep down I know you're depressed
And I know you feel less
Of yourself
You wanna
Cry for help
Cuz I know we put you through hell
And you dont sleep well
And you dont eat well
I cant go into detail
Cuz it hurts me
I'm making music outta my closet, cuz I'm tryna get us outta here
I dont want you to fear
I dont want you to feel like owe me something
Cuz deep down you dont owe me nothing
It breaks my heart to see you get no sleep
Cuz this job got
You working till 3
In the morning
I need you to learn something
One day you wont have to worry bout nothing
I'm taking us to our destination
2019 we gone take a vacation
And we gone go places
Yeah we gone go places
I love you momma"
I know you wanted me to sing for you
Go ahead and pray on my knees for you
I know you wanted me to sing for you
Go ahead and pray on my knees for you
I'm trying
