[Intro]
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...

[Budden - Verse 1]
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
drugs and laced it with things
But you a
addict yourself,
For you I would peep(?) for
places and things (how the fuck 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 dope I would a came out fine
And so
I hit 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

[Chorus]
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 nigga
wouldn't) Baby just calm down...
You gotta
hold your head up cause we gone make it
y'all

[Budden - Verse 2]
Listen...
ain't shit 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
Fucking drugs, 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, and my heart is yours
Fuck school,
cause I had my major
Come to grips that it
ain't so much the drugs, it's the addict behavior
(no)
Was it the dic charge, the cut that came
with it
Wasn't really the smoking, but the
rush that came with it (wasn't calm
people)

[Chorus]
She use to tell me
to... calm down...
Calm down...
(but a
nigga 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

[Budden - Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Calm down...
Calm
down...
(but a nigga 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...
(Fucking
miracle) Baby just calm down...
You gotta hold
your head up cause we gone make it y'all
(They
said I wouldn't reach 21 y'all... I'm still
standing)

Calm down...
Thanks
ma...
Calm down...
I couldn't do it without
you
Calm down...
Calm down...
You are
appreciated
Calm down...
Fa sho...
Calm
down...
It's a slow process y'all
One day
at a time though... to get beautiful
