kupid the king - mom's heart lyrics
[verseone]
i used to think i came from nothing
until i saw what nothing was
all the things i took for granted
clean clothes, food and love
me and my brothers always fighting
mom always at uni or her job
but i never felt neglected
i didn’t know what lonely was
thought i came from poverty cause i had holes in my socks
thought i’d have some money if mommy let me role with the rocks
but she kept us off the street with our bellies full up
the real reason i ain’t rich, i wasn’t hungry enough
thought we’d never be kings until we had silver spoons
we will always be kings cause mamas blood runs blue
now we’re raising young princes and princesses too
and we can not go wrong if we raise them like you
[chorus]
everything you had
an you dain’t have much
still everything you had
mom you gave to us
i ain’t tryna brag
but you went right with us
so i’ll raise all mine
with my mother’s touch
[hook]
you were selfless from the start
taught us how to walk with god
so much of who we are
comes from who first taught us love
prayed to keep us from the dark
all the kindness you showed us
i know the father i’ve become
is cause i’ve got my mothers heart
[verse two]
sometimes i wonder why i can never be alone
and why i confide myself in this broken home
and why i promise my son all these things when he’s old
and why i’m buying these peops all these things when i’m broke
holdin’ all these umbrellas but still when it rains
i’m walkin outside with these clouds in my face
with my eyes set on home my son’s hand in my hand
saying all the right things to try raise a good man
but, i never had a father, ok i have a father
but he ain’t raise, he just made me, he ain’t teach me nothin
ok he taught me something, that my son needs a father
not to go out there making babies if i can’t be a father
don’t twist it i ain’t mad, in fact i love my dad
as i got older he got better, guess that’s why i’m sad
he found god, and now my dad’s the man i wish i had
i guess that’s why i’m glad
my son he loves his grandad
i speak ‘bout him with pride
i guess i’m more like my dad than i first realised
i’m far from perfect, i ain’t bad
no, i’m the perfect guide
to teach kids that they ain’t bad
something just ain’t gone right
we can’t tell em unless we show them how to do things better
somebody must believe that they can be much better
we’re the ones who find gold in the hearts of others
but we can’t the credit we get it from our mothers
[hook]
they were selfless from the start
taught us how to walk with god
so much of who we are
comes from who first taught us love
prayed to keep us from the dark
all the kindness they showed us
i know the fathers we’ve become
is cause we’ve got our mothers hearts
[chorus]
everything you had
an you dain’t have much
still everything you had
mom you gave to us
i ain’t tryna brag
but you went right with us
so i’ll raise all mine
with my mother’s touch
[hook]
you were selfless from the start
taught us how to walk with god
so much of who we are
comes from who first taught us love
prayed to keep us from the dark
all the kindness you showed us
i know the father i’ve become
is cause i’ve got my mothers heart
