Yesterday

I take you back to a time in 08 I remember it like it was on yesterday It was just a few days before my birthday Got the call woke me up kind of late Or I should say early, cause it was morning Before the crack of dawning I was still yawning It was quite alarming And she was frantic The pain that I felt, it was gigantic It took a little while just to understand it But I was branded Now I am branded They said that my mom dukes was found dead I said what you mean she was found dead She wasn't breathing I wasn't breathing I remember tears I remember fears It seemed like there was nobody else here I drove but I couldn't really see clear I said no and I asked why Lord how could you let my mother die When I got there, I seen faces They looked at me Arms grabbed at me Why Lord you can have me She was our strength it couldn't be It must be a joke, yeah that's it She'll wake up in the morning like pass it Life support, couple of days Is she a donor No, y'all just want her I'm bout to blow up Let another sap sucker show up I'm bout to kill everything hold up They took her off, breathed on her own It gave me hope, but didn't last long My mind was wrecked, tried to stay strong School was in, but the class gone August 22 was my birthday They resuscitate, and resuscitate And resuscitate and resuscitate It seems like I started to hallucinate The nurse's crying like there's no hope My families dying with each electric jolt I want to fight but her bodies weak And they told us, she has no brain activity What do we do, how can we decide Just let her go, let her take that ride Look at her eyes, no one's inside I grabbed her hand for the last time I kissed her brown skin, it still was warm Then I ran out, I cried out I cried loud Lord tell me how How to move on When it hurts so bad My mother's gone The only one I had They told me that my brother tried to resuscitate He was young and I didn't know if he could take What was being handed to him I guess its fate I wish he didn't have to see her go that way They told me to go to work it'll be ok She was strong, I'm talking bout my vertebrae They called her Nicey better known as Frances A That's my mom, she gave me life Come back to us, I'll make it right I'm punching at the walls Screaming down the hall No sunshine just rainfall It didn't work but I tried to stall My sister said we have to let her go But how can I, how can I let her go A wave of peace came, then a blank stare I heard a voice that came out of nowhere I won't put more on you than you can bare Then tell me why I want to pull my hair He said remember me and I got you Did you have her? Actually I do Now I see her in glory, not in that bed She's a living spirit, though her flesh dead I found my peace and you can too I love you Bruh I love you sis We made it through Though I miss my boo I wish she could have seen me, now a good dude And say to me that I'm proud of you Your youngest hurting But it's for certain He gone be alright You taught us a lot especially how to fight So I'm gone be strong and lift you up I love you Nicey, and lift my cup
