[Verse 1]
'Cause I'm a mixed up youngster in a grown man's world
I'm trynna turn these sticks and stones into diamonds and pearls
I never knew you, but I heard that you was the shit
From every aunt and every uncle, anyone you was with
I got a few memories, but they not that clear
When you laughed when granddaddy pulled pennies from out my ear
Always told me little things that a baby should hear
But then you cried whenever daddy tried to instill fear
I wish I knew [up?] all the things that you had wantеd to do
All I can find up in my mind is poppy screaming at you
For no reason, then my hеart starts bleeding
Because I can't place your touch or your voice
Or the smile on your face
And now you're gone, and there's not even a trace
Just some picture shit
Getting so hard, sometimes I wish that I was with you
'Cause I heard you was a nurse, you balled and loved art
Had a good sense of humor and a real big heart
People always saying Kaze acting too damn nice
But they don't know I'm living part of you up out of my life
Because sometimes I know shit, and I'm not that smart
And sometimes I reap the benefits, ain't played no part
Should've known that it was you looking down from the start
Seemed to hold my world together when it's falling apart
My sister tried to treat me like she always thought that you would
My pops turned to alcohol and worked as hard as he could
I guess I sort of turned out alright, but far from perfect
Plans to be the dopest emcee alive that's on the surface
Life's a bitch, but tends to make me nervous
I thought 'bout service
Drunk swerving, screaming that I don't deserve it
'Cause of you, I'm from VA, stayed away from DAs
My sister got a track scholarship, she running relays
'Cause of you, I went to college, and I got more knowledge
I learned how to kick that game and spit rhymes flawless
Spoke words with the scholarlies and laid with the lawless
But death could never take the breath, the memories come regardless
Don't visit your grave much because you know that I hate
To be crying uncontrollably for three days straight
Can't sleep and getting nauseous off the food on my plate
It's Waverly's own, the queen [Pearl Parker?] the great
This is for you, won't stop until I see things through
Most people get one mama, God blessed me with two
So when the rhyme is all done and this music is through
Then, damn, you know I'm coming home to you
Rest in peace, ma, you know I'm coming home to you
Reast in peace, mama (word, word, word)
