Pupils begin to observe
Watching the waste on this earth
Mamas don't love their kids like they used to
Let them smoke their herbs
Nails bitten to the nub
Palms at a fire as they rub
Soup never reaches it's boil
Dinner ain't the only thing they spoil
Let the maggots and worms
Infest your brain
Got that memory of all timer's begin
Let that hell of a drug emerge in your veins
And I will claim that I love
And I am the one who birthed you
Skin turned down to the bone
Freckles fall off as they're told
You realize soon your identity changes
No longer the person you were
No longer the person you adore
Let the maggots and worms
Invest your brains
Got your memory of all timer's begin
Let that hell of a drug emerge in your veins
And I will claim that I love you
And I am the one who birthed you
Thank you mama
For all you've done
Gave me cancer
And thick black lungs
Left me rottin'
On the street
Rather shoot up
Than have food to eat
Let the maggots and worms
Invest your brains
Got your memory of all timer's begin
Let that hell of a drug emerge in your veins
And I will claim that I love you
And I am the one who birthed you
Mamas don't love their kids like they used to
Let them smoke their herbs
