Huey Mack - Charlotte Lyrics
[Verse 1]Yeah, December 1991Charlotte Michael and Rick Cisely [?] gave birth to a sonNamed him Joseph Don Cisely [?], and Rick packed his bagsBet he didn't even miss meMy mom took abuse but always did what she had to doTo keep the food on the table and put me through schoolStarted saving up to move away cause she was scaredWhen Rick found out, he threw her down the stairsNever understood how much she really caredAnd no matter the circumstance, momma was always thereEven when it wasn't, she made everything fineNearly threw away her life just so I could have mineAnd in the second grade I went to court and had my name changedNow me and your father, we have the same nameAnd even though I never show it to you, I appreciate everything you went throughAnd I just want to say thank you[Hook]Life has ups and downsPeople, they come and goBut even when you're not around, I'm always going to keep you closeIt's not about what we came from, it's who we end up to beBut just know I love you, just like you love me[Verse 2]In the third grade, moved to my cousin's in TennesseeOnly for three months, ain't know why I had to leaveBags packed, tears rush, my heart was beatingI was scared and alone, I remember the feelingI thought my momma didn't want me no moreI remember sitting crying on the living room floorThinking I'll never see you againSo young, heartbroken at the thought that I just lost my best friendFound out a couple years ago that you were sickAnd you just didn't want me to see you like thisAnd now you're sick again, but momma the only difference isI'll be by your side till the end, cause I gotta repay you[Hook][Verse 3]You taught me to always respect womenAnd I got the utmost respect after you raising two children all aloneI swear I'll never let my wife do the sameI swear I'll never let nobody ever have that painI got a girl and I love that you love herOnly approval I ever need is the one from my motherYou told me stay in school and be a doctor or lawyerBut still stuck with me when I became my own employerNow things changed and I don't see you as muchBut never a day pass you don't have all my loveAnd if a moment comes when you think you ain't got itKnow there's a photo of you in my walletLike that's my momma[Hook]
