No Blame

Lyrics for No Blame

Better luck next time (But I don't blame) I don't blame you, mama I don't blame you, mama (but I don't blame) I don't blame you, mama You was walking the streets alone, you couldn't shake the trauma Chicago streets, the shit you seen been weighing on your conscience I cry and blame myself for all the shit that fell upon us (but I don't blame) I don't blame you, mama It wasn't you that day you told me I would get my karma I was seven years old, waiting on you in pajamas You said you would come home, should've never made that promise How could I blame you, mama? I ran from you that day, I'm not numb to those encounters I've seen you in the worst way when the police say they found you Grandma told me you died, how am I gon' live without you? (But I don't blame) I could never shame you, mama Always felt the same about you, we come from restraining orders Why's he putting hands on you? I just wanna play with toys You and grandma fighting for me, CPS is at the door (but I don't blame) I still don't blame you, mama Smoking cigarettes in the house made it haunted Skeleton in the closet, spent my birthday running from it How you pregnant with a Xanax in your stomach? (But I don't blame) I'm wishing change upon us Broken chains, you bring me pain, you still gon' break the promise That you made to me in jail before you had Mikelle that summer I was still a baby, mama My daddy disappeared, how you neglect your baby, mama? (But I don't blame) But I won't blame you, mama You was walking the streets alone, you couldn't shake the trauma Chicago streets, the shit you seen been weighing on your conscience I cry and blame myself for all the shit that fell upon us (but I don't blame) I run away (I don't blame you, mama) on Mother's Day So cold and I don't feel love today I run away (I don't blame you, mama) on Mother's Day So cold and I don't feel love today (but I don't blame) I run away (I don't blame you, mama) I run away, I run away I run away, I run away (I don't blame you, mama) I run away, I run away, I run away (but I don't blame) So I don't blame you, mama (b-but I don't-) (But don't blame you)
