Lyrics Clariyah – Letter To Ma

Text:

Momma got that title for the MVP
She don’t really know what she mean to me
x2

You were only 17 when you got the news that daddy left to know life would’ve changed for the both of yours

Not only that but changing people that were close to you cuz teenage pregnancy is not something the public is not open to
But you were brave! Chose to leave your life behind knowing that the end of yours would also be the start of mines
Knowing you were young and I surprised you both ahead of time
Changed your whole life for contractions and an aching spine

And even then still managed to run errands to ride my whole life you played the role of both parents
So ma you know what I’m saying your little girl when times were sicken and rough it was just us against the world well its us against the world
And I hope one day you’re proud of me hope I make up for all those time you ever doubted me
But on the real in my eyes you were always my queen momma got that title for the MVP

Momma got that title for the MVP
She don’t really know what she mean to me

Couple years down the line and moving spot to spot tryna find a house but we never really had the glock
See back then I know you had to sacrificed a lot I prayed every time I heard you cry and saw the tears you dropped
Man I was young so I never knew what I could do try to think of how you felt and put myself inside your shoes
But they were to big and I was just a little girl trying to comprehend how I could fit into my mothers world

And then you met a man I thought would make a difference give you everything and show you just what you were missing
3 siblings down the line and I thought you were forever but sometimes 2 people ain’t supposed to be together
So its back to square one me momma and the kids tryna show them I could be a father figure and a sis but
You don’t need a king to know your a queen momma got that title for the MVP

Momma got that title for the MVP
She don’t really know what she mean to me

I know these letters of cliche can actions speak louder than whatever I can say but I wanted you to know
You are my biggest idol not only taught me strength but from you I learned survival
Single mother of 4 kids I got a question, how you manage?
Especially putting up with all my extra baggage

Every time you saw me hurt always tried to fix the damage
I’m sorry for the drama ma I really didn’t plan it
But I got chu if you need me I pray that you believe me
I know you only looking out cuz you already been me
Once were my age went through that phase
We read the same book but always on a different page and its messed up
We always fighting and I hate the fact
I said some shit I didn’t mean wish I could take it back
Cuz you the person I inspire to be momma got the title for the MVP

Momma got that title for the MVP
She don’t really know what she mean to me
