LYRIC FOR SALE

By JM Flow

I don't remember the first time I saw you
But you fell in love just seeing me
Mother, protection, life teacher
I still smell your colostrum on me

I was the sixth, two toddlers still before me
First day of kindergarten, I cried all morning
You said it would get easier, you were right
Fake smile for my Mother's Day gift, 'cause I made it

I was untouchable
You stood up that kid who bullied me
Teaching catechism in my classroom
Crying for your little old dog

Our house was a farm without a cow
Dad said no, you wanted everything alive
You laughing in church at Pepe and me
Me, lazy, rude, snatching your Julio Iglesias vinyl mid-song

Artist with a bride crown in your hands
Brilliant at business, brilliant at loving

Then a tomography
Lymphoma near your liver
Venom in your veins, you said, those chemos
Anger and resignation fighting inside me

Years of duel
'Cause strong memories don't die
They stay linked to you
Tella, they stay linked to you
