You know,
My problem is I wish and regard so much in people,
I trust where I shouldn't,
I stay loyal where I shouldn't.
My problem is,
I wonna change something in my life.
I never saw my mum love,
Experience the queenly experience like the queen that she is,
Her having a shoulder to lean on when everything wasn't working out,
My problem is,
I never got time with my mum at childhood, she was always out there grinding so hard for her beauty queens.
Not to mention,
The untold memories of what we would term as her down moments.
My problem is, I wished life was different but she had to do what she ought to do.
-price of motherhood.
My problem is I work soo hard for a difference,
I wonna watch my kids grow in love,
I want them see me love and be loved,
I want them to appreciate not only having a house but a family,
My problem is I want my kids to always see us as their safe haven
I want them to always have an option - if mummy can't, daddy will.
My problem is I always wanted a change in my life.
