《Charlotte》歌词

[00:00:21] Yeah December 1991

[00:00:23] Charlotte Michael and Rick Cisely gave birth to a son

[00:00:26] Named him Joseph Don Cisely and Rick packed his bags

[00:00:29] Bet he didn't even miss me

[00:00:30] My mom took abuse but always did what she had to do

[00:00:33] To keep the food on the table and put me through school

[00:00:36] Started saving up to move away cause she was scared

[00:00:39] When Rick found out he threw her down the stairs

[00:00:41] Never understood how much she really cared

[00:00:44] And no matter the circumstance momma was always there

[00:00:46] Even when it wasn't she made everything fine

[00:00:49] Nearly threw away her life just so I could have mine

[00:00:51] And in the second grade I went to court and had my name changed

[00:00:55] Now me and your father we have the same name

[00:00:57] And even though I never show it to you I appreciate everything you went through

[00:01:01] And I just want to say thank you

[00:01:03] Life has ups and downs

[00:01:06] People they come and go

[00:01:09] But even when you're not around I'm always going to keep you close

[00:01:14] It's not about what we came from it's who we end up to be

[00:01:24] But just know I love you just like you love me

[00:01:33] In the third grade moved to my cousin's in Tennessee

[00:01:36] Only for three months ain't know why I had to leave

[00:01:38] Bags packed tears rush my heart was beating

[00:01:41] I was scared and alone I remember the feeling

[00:01:43] I thought my momma didn't want me no more

[00:01:46] I remember sitting crying on the living room floor

[00:01:49] Thinking I'll never see you again

[00:01:51] So young heartbroken at the thought that I just lost my best friend

[00:01:54] Found out a couple years ago that you were sick

[00:01:57] And you just didn't want me to see you like this

[00:01:59] And now you're sick again but momma the only difference is

[00:02:02] I'll be by your side till the end cause I gotta repay you

[00:02:19] You taught me to always respect women

[00:02:37] And I got the utmost respect after you raising two children all alone

[00:02:42] I swear I'll never let my wife do the same

[00:02:44] I swear I'll never let nobody ever have that pain

[00:02:47] I got a girl and I love that you love her

[00:02:49] Only approval I ever need is the one from my mother

[00:02:51] You told me stay in school and be a doctor or lawyer

[00:02:54] But still stuck with me when I became my own employer

[00:02:57] Now things changed and I don't see you as much

[00:02:59] But never a day pass you don't have all my love

[00:03:02] And if a moment comes when you think you ain't got it

[00:03:10] Know there's a photo of you in my wallet

[00:03:33] Like that's my momma
