eating off the floor momma aint got no plates

she shield me from the world full of crime and full of hate

all of the world going on outside my window, i got a little curious

fell in love with the danger and it made my momma furious

she stopped paying attention

told me her warning was already mentioned

i went on because i no longer felt the love

the streets gave me more affection than the man up above

i didnt have a place, did the wrong things that ended with a police chase

momma was no longer my shield

impure and my heart couldnt be healed
