​the root of a thing Yaya Bey

[Verse 1]
My mama was a baby when she had me
Just like my daddy
My mama lost her mama to the sky
And sometimes, you can see it in her eyes
And sometimes, you can smell it on her breath
Sometimes, she get to talking with her chest
'Cause sometimes, the world don't do you right
The love don't hold you tight
The home ain't there at night
I guess that's why
We walk by faith and not by sight
'Cause what you see'll have you fucked up
Believing that your luck's up
My mama left at three months
Took thirty years to trust her
Took thirty yеars to muster
The empathy to wondеr
The ways the world had fucked her
Took thirty years to love her, shit
Surely, surely, I'm my mama's child
'Cause surely, surely, I'm out here running wild
And, damn, my nigga, you just won't settle down
Guess what goes around comes right back around, and
Damn, I feel it now
