FLAT shasta

Music: Emanuel Keller/Rayvon Welch/Rayan El-Hussein Goufar/Ashley Leone/Joseph Luis Ramirez III [Verse 1: Ray Vaughn] Momma, I used to watch you scam and sell dope But as of now I don't know what to tell folks when they ask me 'bout you Knowing it's been a couple months since we done spoke So I try to break the tension with a joke, truth is... Momma you need meds for schizo but you won't take it If you lose all your marbles, you ain't gone have none to play with A black woman who crying for help and I'm tryna save her The last thing you want to be called in this world is "crazy" Aww poor baby, I'm just praying that your Shasta ain't flat 'Cause you say a lot of shit that you could never take back Is that the reason why my daddy left? Just tell me the truth My sister, Brie, act just like you, a whole litter You pushed seven of us out by the age of 25 I don't see you when I look you in the eyes I'm looking for Aisha, I'm looking for the woman that's inside Just let me know when she arrives Mouth full of pills in front of us could've died The world know your show died heavy and suicide? If God took you then, I wouldn't wanna be alive Shit, if God took you, then I would be at war with God Yeah
[Chorus: Ash Leone] I wish I could save your smile I wish I could ease your mind like you have done for me Momma, just stay awhile Don't leave me like the tears that fall from my eyes I'm not crazy at all I'm not crazy at all I'm not crazy at all I'm not crazy at all
[Verse 2: Ray Vaughn] Sometimes I wonder if the reason I don't treat bitches right Is 'cause I've never seen you get treated right If you pass me the cycle, then I'm ****ed up for life 'Cause every nigga that you get with you fight, uhhhh Just let me know what happens when all of the hugs run out Momma, what do I do when all the drugs run out? Momma, your mind like a drink left in the sun The bubbles are gone, the damage is done But I keep pouring my love into your glass Praying one day this storm gon' pass I need you bad, I- I need you bad To the woman that smoked weed with my brothers right before class To the woman that I love way more than my ****ing dad Can I borrow one of your laughs, and can I steal one of your smile? And can I hold onto your joy 'cause I ain't felt that since a child And if it wasn't for your womb I wouldn't be breathing right now I swear to God, I just need you right now
[Chorus: Ash Leone] I wish I could save your smile I wish I could ease your mind like you have done for me Momma, just stay awhile Don't leave me like the tears that fall from my eyes I'm not crazy at all I'm not crazy at all I'm not crazy at all I'm not crazy at all
[Refrain: Ray Vaughn] Momma, if you hear me then I'm still your son Even when the darkness comes, I won't run I pray one day that you'll find your way back And that your Shasta never goes flat
[Outro: Ray Vaughn] I'm sorry for not noticing sooner, you know I'm one of your troopers Forgave you for everything, you're only a ****ing human Remember we lived on Hoover on church grounds, Hallelujah When you beat the shit out me for talking to you like I'm stupid Used to work two jobs, but you don't work no mo' I know you're hurt, but I don't wanna see you hurt no mo' I feel like dying or just killing myself Watching you lose your mind, and can't do shit to help
Nigga you done drank all my mother****in Shastas? Nigga you over here, letting you sleep on the couch And you in this bitch drinking all my shit? Nigga, if you don't go take your ass down to the mother****in dairy
