See back in 96 my precious mom passed away As a little kid I was trapped in a traumatic daze But back in 91 my papa dukes held me in his arms, didnt fall for my infant charm, said that I wasnt his and played that cast away. But that’s okay, my moms best friend who’s also my aunt had a couple miscarriages, doctors said she shouldnt buy anymore carriages, she was depressed but she stood and took the pain. She dealt with more than that, watching her baby sister lying in that hospital bed Barely fed With cancer knocking at the door Shit hits the floor She says Jo I’ll miss you, but promise you’ll adore my little ones and treat them like your own She gave me Chersey and Shanice to her before she passed away. Man, everything changed that day Never the same But what did change is that Tati Jo became mommy Jo She felt like she was blessed that her best friend gave her the rest of what she had and what Jo couldnt have But what she couldnt have is best of both worlds her baby sister and kids and she was blessed with only one Life wasnt always easy when she was just the one The one single parents, caring for three, thats 4 mouths to feed Never infected by greed Always willing to bleed Bleed for her 3 children, without hesitation But in her revelation is the realization that the best gift you can give someone is something they can never have Three siblings who stuck together Celebrating Arguing Defending Thats just how blood flows together We are together but in the 18 years She’s lost her brother and her sister to top it all off her mother passed away in her arms Nothings worse while trying to revive your own mom Seeing the life fade away while you perform CPR, there is no calm To make it worst grandmas funeral was on my birthday It reminded me about that I lost a mom. Now that’s two moms I only got one mom left, Mommy jo I love you to death I want to be the man you want me to be 10x more, so you and your friends can adore at how much of a big success I will be We will flee to whatever country you want to be in Jamaica, Haiti, Rome, France, japan Doesnt matter I hope you understand that I love you mom. No matter what we go through that will never change. No matter how far into the future you warm embrace is what will remind me of where I cam from. A family who values one another no matter how strong the strain Theres no amount to what I owe you The things you sacrificed you should be on a pedestal. Anchors to the past you will always last, theres no one above you. MAMA I LUV YOU, HOL IT DOWN
