You & The 6 lyrics

[Verse 1]

Having conversations with mama, man my life is a mess

Ain't been returning the texts, so she been reading the press

She got google alerts, them shits go straight to her phone

She worry bout me from home, you know she raised me alone

She said "I heard you back with you know who"

I told her "Girl I'm always back with you know who"

And she like "Who are we kidding"

"You're only 27 you just being you"

"You're your fathers child man thank god you got some me in you"

At least I always, at least I always see it through

At least I'm always being true to what you taught me

Retired teacher but your words still got me evolving

Never get sloppy drunk, but alcohol is problem solving

And look I hate it when you hate on all my girlfriends

And assistants always convinced that there's always someone better

Like that girl from that gym who trains you

I know you wanna arrange it, you told me she's free thursday

And I'm sure that she's a angel but she don't want this life

The timing ain't right

Maybe one day but even one day with us is a time of a life

We do things that people pay to document

You got the sweetest heart but I'm not here to give out compliments, or boost nobody confidence momma

I got no friends in this momma

I don't pretend with this momma

I'on joke with this momma

I pull the knife out my back and cut they throat with it momma

I'm "Game of Thrones" with it momma

I'm " Home Alone" with it momma

I'm t-

I really hate using this tone with you momma

I really hate getting aggressive on this phone with you momma

I really hate wasting your time to check a clone or two momma

It's just they cloning me momma

Them niggas wannabes momma

Its like - I'm the one they wanna be momma

I just- I- I can't be out here being vulnerable momma

I mean I kill em every time they do a song with me momma

I sing a hook they sing along with me momma

What more they want from me momma?

Yeah, this is a crazy life

But you and the six raised me right

"Don't ever take advice," that was great advice

You and the six raised me right, that shit saved my life

[Verse 2]

Having conversations with momma, we start talkin' bout dad

You know he dropping a single, he saying this is his window

That nigga still wearing linen, that nigga still in the club

Call him after we get off the phone and show him some love

That nigga memphis for real, girl he love you to death

He made mistakes throughout his life that he still doesn't accept

But he just want our forgiveness, and fuck it look how we living

I'm content with this story, who are we not to forgive him?

At least I been to a prison, at least I know what it's like

I used to rap on the phone, one of his friends doing life

And now I got me a Grammy, that could be part of the reason

Let's just call this shit even, we got some things to believe in

Do you remember back to Weston Road, Scarlett Road?

Hangin' with Aaron Bell and Reny shit could've gone south for me he looked out for me ma

He never let me do drugs

He let me shoot a gun one summer but out there everyone does

He made me listen to his music, old music, soul music

Shit that can only be created if you go through it

I used to get teased for being black, and now I'm here and I'm not black enough

Cause I'm not acting tough or making stories up bout where I'm actually from

But I just roll with it momma, rolling stone with it momma

Gotta be careful around rolling stones or anyone that's tryna throw stones at me momma

I'm not condoning it momma

They will not tear nothing down I built this home for you momma

Know I don't call enough momma

I just been working with so little time for personal momma

Hard labor let me pay the price

You and the six raised me right that shit saved my life
