Calm down calm down

Baby just calm down

Calm down

She use to tell me to calm down

Moms use to tell me to calm down

Baby just calm down

She use to tell me to calm down

Moms use to tell me to calm down

She would pray that I would

Baby just calm down

Calm down

Look I was such a lost soul just wanted to be down with something

Look at your son now mommy I amounted to something

You couldn't figure out what I had messed with the streets for

Cause you saw my genius without a SAT score

I took d**gs and laced it with things

But you a addict yourself

For you I was people places and things

How the f**k you thought

Angeldust use to have me in the hallways twurked

I tried to hide it but Visine didn't always work

I needed someone to blame in my mind

I thought if you and dad never used d**e I would a came out fine

And so I igged you hard when you threw in advice

Like what I want to talk to you about you ruined my life

You the reason why I ended up a con and I knew it

The reason I filled my body with that bomin fluid mommy

You the reason that my life's gone illegal

The reason I'm kinda different don't think like normal people not calm

She use to tell me to calm down

Moms use to tell me to calm down

Use to pray that I would

Baby just calm down

You gotta hold your head up cause we gone make it

She use to tell me to calm down

Moms use to tell me to calm down

You got to understand what I was going through

Baby just calm down

Everything's gonna be alright

She use to tell me to calm down

Moms use to tell me to calm down

But a n***a wouldn't

Baby just calm down

You gotta hold your head up cause we gone make it y'all

Listen ain't s**t like seeing your moms crying on the floor

Knowing you the reason why she ain't alright no more

But so young I was like whatever

You use to chase me through the house with the knife like get your life together

F**king d**gs how could I ever amp on you

And what made me think that I could lay my hands on you

I'm not surprised that you mad at me

Much as you hated my father your youngest son is just like his daddy

Mommy I live life rude how could you not understand it

On the same note I'm just like you

I got moms sensitivity my fathers balls

His humor his g yet my heart is yours

F**k school cause I had my major

Come to grips that it ain't so much the d**gs it's the addict behavior

No

Wasn't the dip jar it's the cut that came with it

Wasn't really the smoking but the rush that came with it

Wasn't calm people

She use to tell me to calm down

Calm down

But a n***a wouldn't

Baby just calm down

You gotta hold your head up cause we gone make it y'all

Do it with me people

Calm down

Calm down

Try to understand it

Baby just calm down

Those kind of things

Everything's gonna be alright

Calm down

Just bare with me for a for a brief moment y'all

Calm down

Baby just calm down

You gotta hold your head up cause we gone make it y'all

I felt so alone I had a crew but so what

Then when Angela stabbed me guess who showed up

And when people said I'd always be ill and twisted

And when the therapist had told us that the pills would fix it

Was sick of being sick I was finally hurt

With all the praying that you did ma it finally worked

God gave you a son back I won't offend you again

Won't let the disease turn me against you again

Use to be high as ever

But I

Joey Jr

Got his life together

As a result now we tighter than ever

So blessed so grateful to be seeing tomorrow

See the whole world

That's why I can't take a drink not if even a swallow

I can't picture me twisted like what I'm a do now

Haters I can't stop yet my mothers to proud

Secure now don't need to be down with nothing

Look at your son now mommy I amounted to something

I'm so calm

Calm down

Calm down

But a n***a wouldn't calm down

Baby just calm down

You gotta hold your head up cause we gone make it y'all

Hold up

She use to tell me to calm down

Use to pray that I would

Calm down

But I couldn't I couldn't couldn't do it

Baby just calm down

Nothing heals like time people

Everything's gonna be alright

Understand that

Calm down

Calm down

F**king miracle

Baby just calm down

You gotta hold your head up cause we gone make it y'all
