In My Mother's Eyes

When I look into my mother's eyes I can see the pain that she goes through everyday trying her best to raise me right But instead I don't even pay attention to her I ignore her as if she wasn't there Giving her a hard time disrespecting her and not following by her rules thinking I'm grown just doing my own thing On the streets hanging with the wrong people selling weed and getting high with my buddies as if I don't have a mother And when I come home it gets even worser She cuss and yells at me asking me where I been I lie to her and say that I was at school knowing that I was out hanging with my buddies When my mother hears sirens her blood pressure hits the roof praying to God hoping that it ain't me 26 And when she watches the news her heart skips a beat hoping that she doesn't see me on TV. My mother is stress out and worry all because of me And when I look into her eyes I can see the pain crying in tears praying that I change But I'm too hard headed and bold to change So mama before you rest your eyes and sleep Always remember that I love you in a crazy way but I will never change
