catch me
i tried to run
i tried to fly
my life wasn't kicking it
i had to say bye
no longer my mama's baby
soon to be my baby's mama
didn't know what to say
so i was up
out
off
alone
not grown
but grown
no one to talk to
my mami's already stressed
my girls have their own problems,
besides...
they wouldn't understand
my man is no longer my man since he realised he had to be a man
so me and my little one, we travel
so little and so innocent, i don't want her to come into this world
with mama being a lost girl
but it's too late to show him another
i have to face the fact
i'm about to be a mother
alone
without a man
or a plan
and damn,
nobody understands
