[Verse 1]

Dear mom, it’s been a minute

I heard your car wash internship ain’t finished

Your grind still infinite

I know we live apart from each other

Which is weird for a son and mother

It don’t bother, tho I get it

Impressive how you still paying for my college tuition

Maybe Grandma gon view you properly different

That donut shop shutting down was a tragic event

Cause that’s the only thing making us like a family again

Now you got a new job, I don’t know where you live

Since you never telling me, I gon condone to your wish

Don’t get it twisted, I love you more than еver

I’m sorry that we couldn’t spend morе time together

Grandma told me that you borrow cash from her to invest

It ain’t success; you in debt and it’s harder to get you back

One day, hope you could pay her back with fundraise

So you don’t look like an outcast with us like Andre


[Chorus]

Sometimes I wonder if I gon grow without you both

Everything I want to show, I’m doing better than you know

And maybe it’s hard to be a parent and stay in my memories

I know I’m messing up sometimes, but I still want you there for me


[Verse 2]

Dear dad, I know you struggle

To have a bond with me since we never touched or cuddled

You missed out on my childhood; it’s a hard pill to swallow

A hard trail to follow

Been an atheist since, cause what would god know

You got a new family now, and I’m slightly confused

I’m taking care of your kids and can’t find you approved

I’ll be honest, I don’t know you, and it’s rightfully true

And I’ll be damned if my idol was you

Never taught me how to drive, fist fight, or basketball

Never showed up on my parents' day or any festivals

Never on the table to tell me to eat my vegetables

Never tried to let you go, man, that was the best of all

Still I was a prodigy, talented, and I’m writing anthems

Taiwanese and handsome, now I’m feeling gassed up

But that was the truth, you gotta do what you do

I’m independent now, and I still want you to be you


[Chorus]

Sometimes I wonder if I gon grow without you both

Everything I want to show, I’m doing better than you know

And maybe it’s hard to be a parent and stay in my memories

I know I’m messing up sometimes, but I still want you there for me
