lyrics

Chorus - Reggie Coby
So young and dumb
You couldn’t tell me nothing
Waiting for a sign
Somebody tell me something
My momma use to tell me
But what does she know anyway
Turns out she was right
How I miss yesterday

Verse 1 - Reggie Coby
She tried to tell me but I wouldn’t listen
Those traditions don’t pertain to me
Because see I’m different
She make me sit in the kitchen while she cooking
And watch her, I used to hate it
But now I know how she made
She would say that one day
This gone be something that you need
Didn’t believe her til I had someone to feed
Deep huh
The things you remember when you get older
I still hear her voice
Like she standing on my shoulder
But these days my momma probably think I’m crazy
Cause How I’m living now
Ain’t exactly the way she raised me
I bet sometimes she look at me like
Wow, this can’t be my son
The same one I had as a baby
So take your time young man
Don’t be in no rush
Cause sometimes life still sucks
When you a grown up
And then you find yourself reminiscent
Missing them conversations
With your momma
In the Kitchen

Verse 2 - Bavu Blakes
Man I wish I had an intervention
She and I multiplied but then we did division
Never separated
I just up and left
Scared to death of being daddy
I doubted myself
Could’ve been the man of the house
but instead I ran
Couldn’t handle my business
She on the other hand
Screaming be responsible now
You’re getting older
I still hear her voice like she standing on my shoulder
How was I supposed to know what to do
If I was never shown
Been an adult since middle school
But was never grown
Criminalized by the system I could never shake
Desperate for new direction
Steps I would never take
Traumatized by when I was shot and left for dead
Paralyzed in my mind
Living inside my head
They say he was my spitting image as a little kid
I never did mind his momma
I wonder if he did

Chorus - TempestB
Acting young and dumb
Couldn’t tell you nothing
Looking for the signs
I tried to tell you something
My child I tried to warn you
What do I know anyway
O’ baby boy
How I miss yesterday
