yeah…
late nights, thinkin’ ‘bout us…
tryna make it right…
for you… for them…
hey baby mama, i gotta be real,
all that pain i caused, yeah i know how it feel,
i was lost in my ways, couldn’t see what was true,
tried to guard your heart but i just hurt you.
late nights, arguments, words that i regret,
every tear you cried, yeah i carry that debt,
i was runnin’ from myself, didn’t know my role,
now i’m lookin’ in the mirror tryna fix my soul.
you stood ten toes when i couldn’t stand,
held it all together, had the world in your hands,
and i see that now, yeah i see it clear,
wish i understood it when i had you near.
so thank you, baby mama, for the love you gave,
even when i didn’t know how to behave,
you were there when i needed someone to hold,
now i’m tryna be the man you deserve, not the old.
ora, onka, yeah they light my life,
you the reason they’re here, you did it right,
i’m changin’ my ways, i got somethin’ to prove,
tryna be better… yeah, better for you.
you carried both our babies, strength i never knew,
all that weight on your shoulders, still you pushed through,
doctor visits, sleepless nights, all alone,
while i was out here actin’ like i’d grown.
now i see your sacrifice in every little thing,
in their smiles, in the joy that they bring,
ora got your eyes, onka got your smile,
man, i sit and think ‘bout that for a while.
i missed moments i can’t rewind,
but i’m here right now, i’m not that guy,
i’m learnin’ patience, i’m learnin’ love,
ask the lord every day for some guidance above.
so thank you, baby mama, for the love you gave,
even when i didn’t know how to behave,
you were there when i needed someone to hold,
now i’m tryna be the man you deserve, not the old.
ora, onka, yeah they light my life,
you the reason they’re here, you did it right,
i’m changin’ my ways, i got somethin’ to prove,
tryna be better… yeah, better for you.
i know sorry don’t fix everything…
but i’m workin’, i’m growin’, i’m tryin’ to bring
back the trust that i broke back then…
even if we never go back again…
i’ll still be there, yeah, i’ll still show up,
for my kids, for you, i’ll give that love,
no more runnin’, no more lies,
lookin’ at life through different eyes…
yeah, i got my lessons, had to learn the hard way,
lost a good woman playin’ dumb games,
now i’m focused, every move gotta count,
for my family, yeah, that’s what i’m about.
if we rebuild, i’ma do it real slow,
earn your trust, let my actions show,
if we don’t, i still got your back,
co-parent strong, ain’t no lack in that.
respect what we had, respect what we made,
two little angels and the choices we gave,
life ain’t perfect but i’m standin’ tall,
tryna be a better man through it all.
so thank you, baby mama, for the love you gave,
even when i didn’t know how to behave,
you were there
