[Intro]

This one for my T lady, yeah (Ayy yo, that's Nick)

[Verse 1]

Wanna start this shit off by saying that I'm sorry

For all the shit that I put you through

For all the shit that you went through

You a real ass woman, can't nobody take that hat from you

I'ma put you in a big house, I promise

I'ma put a smile on your face, I promise

Since you ain't get to see me go to college

But I promise that your baby got knowledge

I'ma make sure that your business start poppin'

I'ma make sure that you don't stress while shoppin'

I'ma make sure that you know you somebody

To me, and your kids, and your husband

Yeah, I'ma make sure that you don't struggle

'Cause you made sure that you was my mother

I'ma take it back to '99, you had me when you was nineteen, raisin' me all by yourself

Daddy was up in the picture, but had a kid with somebody else

And I can't imagine how the fuck you really felt

But I can't blame that nigga, 'cause I see him up in myself (Ayy yo, that's Nick)

But he put a ring on your finger, and he showed you that he meant it

You forgave him for cheatin', and I hate that all these people take your kindness for weakness

You take pride in your achievements, seen you fight all your demons

You take care of your children (Ayy yo, that's Nick), I know you'd do a killing

If they lay a hand on you, definition of a woman

You stayed up late nights helpin' with my homework, we fuss, we fight

You called dad every night just to get me right (Ayy yo, that's Nick)

He'd tell you take my phone from me, I sneak through the night, go get it back

Soon as he get home, that's my ass, I appreciate both of y'all for that

'Cause if not, where would I be at?

Close my eyes, wish for Brenda back, I know she ain't comin' back

Always tryna get over that (Ayy yo, that's Nick)

Wish she could see where I'm at

Before you died, I ain't get to call you back

Wish I could get another chance

[Verse 2]

This one right here for you, Brenda

Do you remember when I would help with your hand?

When you fucked it up, punched it through the glass

And I'd do the same when I get mad, swear that I'm just like you, man (Ayy yo, that's Nick)

You remember grandparents' day of school? We painted our hand

(I think I was in like kindergarten or first grade or some shit like that)

Took me to the beach, my first time playin' in the sand (Ayy yo, that's Nick)

I swear that you was always the one that knew I'd be the man

You bought me a drum set, wanted me to join the band

You knew I loved the music, broke down hearin' your voice message

I thought you'd be here to meet my kids (Ayy yo, that's Nick)

Why'd it have to turn out like this?

I gotta end your part right here, don't wanna break down in tears

[Verse 3]

This for the fans

I'm tryna get off drugs, I know y'all hate to see me like this

Tryna get back on my shit (Ayy yo, that's Nick)

I find myself unmotivated, swear this shit be complicatin'

This fame shit, I don't like it, I hate it

Y'all made my dreams come true, made me who I wanted to be

Made me who I worked to be, I'ma leave a legacy, yeah

[Outro]

(Rest in peace Brenda, I love you)

(Forever and ever)

(Oh, oh, oh)

(Oh, oh)

(Oh, oh, oh)
