Considering You

Momma a super power Brilliant beyond belief Taught me everything I know but never got a degree Sure she's rough around the edges But the love was rent free So if you ever doubt your skill Simply listen to me Versiphire the poet Momma's my biggest fan Break me down and build me make me a better man Always held me to the fire, cleaned me up when I got burned Taught me losing ain't a loss if the lessons are being learned Butting heads cause i'm rebellious Humbled me with a belt Sat me down and talked with me, Too stubborn to ask for help Ma I've fumbled all too often You told me don't doubt myself So, When I walk on graduation, congratulate yourself I didn't notice in my youth the sacrifices parents make All too often I was bitter even called you out your name Raised 3 kids, no father needed Never whined and Never waned Weeping silently in your sleep then working the next day A living legend in my eyes, despite the imperfections Give it everything you have when only God is bearing witness Even now with open eyes, I just don't understand it Words will never do it justice Still indulge me for a moment Mom for me you were a pillar so don't doubt it for a minute Even when I'm messing up never call it into question If I fall I'm getting up, if i'm not bleeding I'm alright Look at your kids to see your worth that's just some lame advice Accountability is dodged because a kid will blame their parent I was given all the tools so blaming mom is not the answer I could talk at age 2, Could ride a bike at age 9 So why at 18 would I blame Mistakes on you who gave me life I'll be the first to say I suck I know I'm selfish, sometimes rude Quick to voice my own opinion I'm the smartest in the room But before you blame my mother Please consider the truth Mom did an excellent job At least I'm honest with you. Some traits originate from ego And that's the case with me I'll do my best to be the son my mother raised me to be If not for Z then for the shoulders that I stand upon The king who's resting in the grave And for the Queen, known as my Mom
