I don't mean no disrespect by this But everything's not what it used to be, ya know? And I feel like it's really important For us to make the future what WE want it to be You know what I mean? That's all it's really been about Yeah I would say that I wanna make my mama proud Cuz that's the typa shit that rappers like to talk about And please don't take it like I'm dissin' on my mama now But it's a reason why I left up out my mama house And my intent here is not to just be rappin' foul But to make you understand all of my fuckin' actions now Cuz everything that I dreamed from the age of 13 Was in direct defiance of everything she was plannin' out She wanted me to be a pastor or a deacon, see I could serve the people in the name of a certain deity But the inner me was screamin' in silence Hypocrisy, and violence, and every time I passed the plate it felt like thievery And I can still feel the residuals of belief in me Every time she calls me up and tells me she believes in me But what I think she really mean is that she fear for me And hopes my morals won't suffer from entropy, but see I found Bravery in my Bravado I found today in tomorrow I couldn't beg steal or borrow To find a place in this world I found Bravery in my Bravado I found today in tomorrow I couldn't beg steal or borrow To find a place in this world Yeah My mama taught me to eat my veggies But now I smoke em She taught me to rise early and read my devotions But now the only thing I read is these comments on my feed That' s full of real ignorance and fake emotion Damn And I still feel like I'm only going through the motions And I love my mama, man, go ahead and quote it But would I really be less twisted and still remain gifted If the rifts in my history were no longer in focus? Damn, that shit's a bitter pill in any dosage The feeling unappreciated and hopeless So regardless of my status or any successes granted I still find myself chasing my magnum opus I'm young, but I'm lookin' back like I'm reminiscing I wanna change destructive patterns and demand division Between me and the habits I've managed to create But admitting to a mistake isn't the same thing As asking for forgiveness So when I say that I wanna make my mama proud I'm not tryna' say I'm limiting my options now But I could never fill the shoes that she prayed for me Even though I treasure those kicks so faithfully I just wanted her to understand my bravery I'm tryna' be the shining light that they never gave to me Even if that requires me attempting to deny Every single inch of identity that was ever fated me I found Bravery in my Bravado I found today in tomorrow I couldn't beg steal or borrow To find a place in this world I found Bravery in my Bravado I found today in tomorrow I couldn't beg steal or borrow To find a place in this world I found Bravery in my Bravado I found today in tomorrow I couldn't beg steal or borrow To find a place in this world
