[Verse 1] Ever since I hit that age Mama look me in my face Ask me who I’m bringin’ home Like I’m late Like I’m wrong She got pictures on the fridge Little shoes inside her head Talks about the family name Like my heartbeat is a deadline [Chorus] Mama want her grandbabies I’m still tryna raise myself Can’t pour love from this empty Can’t give more while I need help I ain’t ready I ain’t ready (oh) Don’t know what my heart can take Mama want her grandbabies I just want my own soul safe [Verse 2] She say “Boy You almost thirty You don’t ever feel that lonely?” I been layin’ next to people Still feel oceans in between us Swipe right Small talk Same scene Feed the fear Starve the dream I could fake it for a while But that child gon’ wear my smile [Chorus] Mama want her grandbabies I’m still tryna raise myself Can’t pour love from this empty Can’t give more while I need help I ain’t ready I ain’t ready (yeah) Not a game that I can play Mama want her grandbabies I just want my own heart saved [Bridge] What if I break what I build up? What if I fail like my father did? All of these ghosts at the table Pullin’ out chairs for a future kid Tell her I’m workin’ on my faith Tell her I’m learning how to stay When I love I wanna stay Not just run when it gets late [Chorus] Mama want her grandbabies I’m still tryna raise myself Can’t pour love from this empty Can’t give more while I need help I ain’t ready I ain’t ready (oh) But I swear I’ll find my way Mama When I hold that baby I wanna know I chose that day
