Dear mama
Love you mama

Dear mama

She don't want me locked up (locked up)
Mama, I'm gon' wash up (wash up)
Whip my wrist, it lock up (yeah)
All my diamonds rocked up (oh yeah)
I don't wanna sign off (woah)

Mama love me so I can do no wrong (do no wrong)
Mama in the trap so this her favorite song (favorite song)
I'm gon' get them racks lil baby they some more
Said I wasn't nothing but I can destroy
You got the best advice but I won't call (no way)
I know I'm grown so I do not need ya'll (I got it)
And if I get locked up, mama change the law (oh yeah)
You fix everything so that's what I thought
When I was small mama made me tall (made me tall)
Even though I'm daddy pup she still gon' wipe my paws
Don't care about this money, don't care about them cars (she drivin')
Lose my mama, that's a problem you can't solve

Dear mama
I don't wanna sign off (no way)
Out here getting commas (commas)
Like my dad, I'm a grinder (oh yeah)
She don't want me locked up (locked up)
Mama, I'm gon' wash up (wash up)
Whip my wrist, it lock up (yeah)
All my diamonds rocked up (oh yeah)
I don't wanna sign off (whoa)

Now I got the game in a headlock (headlock)
Never catch me lackin' run a red light (no lackin' shorty, skrrt)
Bitch, we talkin' codes we the red slugs (on folk n'em)
They tried to break my safe I had a deadlock (deadlock)
Mama used a bag in the day time (day time)
Mama got that bag by the night time (night time)
Was on 32nd Street, I was like everything (I ain't crumblin')
Moved to FrancisVille and met my real friends (bah)
Mama said, "stay down there 'fore you get hurt"
That was way before I was Lil Uzi Vert (1600)
Mama saw me in action, it could've got worse (1600)
I know that my mama know I'm shootin' first

Dear mama

@Mr.Lightshine

Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless!

And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved!

1. Believe that God sent His Son
(Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later.

2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you!

 3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever.

4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever.

I'm Praying for you and you are loved!

(Romans 10:9-13)
