Dear mama (Thank you)

Dear mama I don't know what to do
I'm tryna follow my dreams and do what i love to do
but its so hard when those around you
have no faith in you
and tell you that you can't make it
doing what your tryna do
so you minus well quite and give it all up
why don't you go find a real career
cause art, writing, and music just ain't one
yes I know it ain't easy and its a cold world
which is harsh and cruel
and people will do their best to discourage you
I'm prepared for all that
cause I know I have to have thick skin
Its just harder when those words come from family
But its your love and strength
words so true that keeps me going
its you who influence me to do what I do
I'm just tryna follow my dreams and do what I love to do
Tell me mom is it wrong for me
To wana pursue happiness
I know I'm gona make it despite what they say
I'm gona do what I gotta do
and won't let them get in the way
I don't care what they think of me
As long as you keep faith in me
I love all my talks with you
If only you knew what your words really do
I got big dreams and know there be true
As long as your by my side
To help me when I'm down
help me when I cry
You help me follow those dreams
By support and guiding me
Even when we disagree
You still encourage me
to do my best and be all I can be
cause its true we don't always see eye to eye
but you give and let me do what I want
you don't stand in my
you help me along the way
but also allow me to make my own mistakes
and if I fall your right there to dust me off
never say I told you so or throw it in my face
you keep me grounded but let me find my own way
you beleive in me
even when I doubt myself
I thank you for having my back
and I love you for that
