Imani Jaye - Role Models Lyrics

Poppa was a Rolling Stone
Better yet an asshole
Momma's on the search for her soul
And I was in the middle of it
Made me who I am
But I just wished I never seen some sh*t
You might
Think I'm
Crazy and deranged
Because of their so selfish ways
But I ain't trip
I just maintained and that's alright
Been through a lot
But I can put up a good fight

I know it's hard tryna keep your head above water baby
I know it's hard tryna get through life without the answers baby
What's the answers baby?

How the
F*ck ya
'Posed to live your life
Without no role models?
How the
F*ck ya
'Posed to live your life
Without nobody to tell you
Wrong or right?
Let that sink in
Where do I begin?
Who can I run to?
Is it you?

Always been Ms. Independent
Handling my biz
Ever since I was about 10
In and out the crib
Momma couldn't stop working (TV dinners in the fridge)
Damn she couldn't stop working
Roof over my head
Stomach always fed
Missed my mom but always tried to look at the positives
Maybe I should just shut up
And thank god for the life I live

How the
F*ck ya
'Posed to live your life
Without no role models?
How the
F*ck ya
'Posed to live your life
Without nobody to tell you
Wrong or right?
Let that sink in
Where do I begin?
Who can run to?
Is it you?

I know it's hard tryna keep your head above water baby
I know it's hard tryna get through life without the answers
The answers
The grass ain't always greener
Emotional stability was what I needed
I can probably thank you for the material things
But what are those things if we can't be a family?
Whats a family?
