I feel sorry for your mother

To my man Dave at your grave
I silently prayed
I know you saved by grace and
not works
Man it hurt for real
Philly streets remain ill
now your boys can't chill
unless steel by they waistline
Ya didn't waste time full time
job and college
working harder not even bitter
at the Father
for taking your father at an
early age
I sympathize with your situation
yo my Dad's the same
Bullets penetrated your fles
arms legs even your neck
Your death the reason Steve
stays depressed
I never seen so many tears
in a day
so much sadness and utter
madness definition of tragic
Habits develop when
your friends die
Your memories are enemies ya
numb em with that Henny and lye
Yo it's hard to say goodbye
I can't let it go
I feel sorry for your moms it
must be hard on a widow
I feel sorry for your mother
I tried to take that hurt away
from her
but she can't escape the pain
or recover
so she sits alone by the
candle light crying at night
she sounds like this
I feel sorry for your mother
I couldn't take the pain away
from her
This is what a widow sounds like
losing her child's life
It's like your child losing her
life in front of your eyes
comatose high dose pain killers
inside her IV
Recall her voice calling Mommy
Let's play hide and seek in the
lobby with little Tommy
It's a struggle just to smile
your daily mission is
just to keep hope alive
but God ain't listening
You're whispering prayers and
playing musical chairs
inside her room by the nurse
and near them exit stairs and
there's
so much support expert
technicians
but modern medicine couldn't
keep your little kid living
Now they hit you with that news
so much disbelief
you wouldn't let the casket
drop in the dust for 6 feet
Holding back your tears when
you're at your day job
during breaks in the bathroom
cursing at God
You knocked he didn't open
asked didn't receive
Now your child joins your
husband in the ground underneath
I feel sorry for your mother
I tried to take that hurt away
from her
but she can't escape the pain
or recover
so she sits alone by the
candle light crying at night
she sounds like this

I feel sorry for that mother
I couldn't take the pain away
from her
So she prays in vain for answers
ain't no cure to Cancer
To all the fallen you're gone
but not forgotten
escape from this modern day Gotham
gritty city in a physical form
you 've shown me courage
in a storm
I touch the clothes you left
behind they remain warm
In the morning hours address
heavenly powers
leave flowers at your grave
Teddy Umi and Dave
Rest in peace in a place
undivided by race
True love given not chased
your belly stay full of steak
Hesitating voices
saying your boys is gone
Sitting there shocked with no
response gripping the phone
All my dogs go to heaven ain't
that right reverend
No if's and's or maybe's end
of sentence
Mention fate spark religious
debate
witness a newborn die then
testify why God's so great
Now it's nothing but hate love
is too damn abusive
Cuz whatever you love you lose it
That's why I feel sorry for
your mother
I tried to take that hurt away
from her
but she can't escape the pain
or recover
so she sits alone by the
candle light crying at night
she sounds like this
I feel sorry for your mother
She can't escape the pain or
recover
This is what a widow sounds like
losing
her child's life it's like this
