(Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird) I'm always running in my dreams to the point where it feels like a nightmare (Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird) I realized though, I've been running from this conversation And if you think about it You would try to bring me closer to God Through church and religion, you know? I mean, look, it's o-it's okay to be religious If that's what you believe in But I think that before you understand religion We should all focus on understanding something that Most of us can agree on And that's the want for love I wish you would've put the same amount of emphasis you put In religion and learning that, and following God With the love you gave me, you know? I think with that, maybe I would've treated Women a little better Maybe I would've had a little bit more trust for other people Maybe I wouldn't feel the need to use my success as armor A mockingbird represents innocence, you know? And truthfully Sometimes I feel like you could've protected that In a better way But that, that's cool The most important thing, though, is I'm not mad at you and I'm okay with Some of the things we've been through I want you to understand that Love you mom, okay, bye (Love you too) (When you are finished recording please press 1 or hang up)
