Momma didn't know

Fuck up fool

would of dropped me
on the side of the road
had she known I would
of turned out the way
I did
Oh momma i'm sorry
that I ain't done you proud
I swear that I will one of these
days just as soon as I get shit
figured out
oh and you know
I'm sorry momma
that I drink and smoke
and curse
and I'm sorry
for a number of
other things
that I know you'd
think is worse
and Thanks for all those books
you got me that I've never
read
If 20 dollar bills
were food without
you I probably would
of starved to death
and I know no matter how
bad I am feeling
bout my life
you'll be there
at the end of the day
to sing me a lullaby
and I know you didn't write it
and you know that thats okay
no momma in the world could sing
it better than bob marley sang

I'm sorry I got mad
and smashed that vase
on the kitchen floor last july
and I'm sorry momma that I
never brought home a girl
I know you think I'm gay
but I swear to got I'm not
