Momma's gone it's no joke



Imagine this wrap your head around this folks
I really thought this was some kind of hoax
They said she's no longer here
Little do they know I was no longer there
Imagine being in a room with your dead mom
Told you have to be quite an calm
 Your mind is floating body still there
Thoughts are whirling all in the air
Only Gods strength can get you through this
You pray an hope he answers your wish
You touch her she's still warm
Doing it softly as to cause no harm
Thank you Lord I know she is watching
This is why I settle for nothing
She always said I have big balls
I know she watches as I stand tall.
