[Intro]

[intro] [verse] (Instrumental Solo) [verse] You were my hero when I turned five Then the whole world took a downward dive Weekends slipped without your face Just another shift to fill your space [verse] No flashy phone to show off proud No game console in our quiet house Birthdays boiled down to one small thing A lopsided cupcake, frosting thin [chorus] Mom was the one who held my hand You were a bee that stung my plans "Don't do this, don't do that" your only song You stole my bliss, where did my joy belong? I didn't see a friend in you Just a stranger I grew to hate and outgrew No more cupcakes, no more lies I'm done with you, I'm saying goodbye [verse] I broke the rules, took what wasn't mine Got the slap that left my cheek on fire I fought in rings, let my rage take flight Clipped my own wings, burned every light I swore I'd never see your face again Toughened my skin, let my grind begin No more cupcakes on my plate I sealed your memory behind a gate [verse] I grew up wild, like an ocean wave While you hid quiet in your cave I built a life, got my own kids Got all the things my younger self once bid Now they're teens, and the pain hits hard I'm staring at the scars I thought were marred Suddenly I'm craving that old taste The lopsided cupcake, time can't erase [chorus] I missed the note, missed the hidden truth You were the GOAT, I was just a fool You put food on the table, roof over my head Loved me quiet, where my anger led That slap you gave was a wake-up call Kept me from crashing through the wall Now I'm on my knees, begging please Can you bake me that cupcake, if you please? [verse] You worked all night, fought every odd Did what was right, even when it was hard Rode the bus, never made a fuss Broke your knee, but never missed the bus Every scar, every calloused hand Was all for me, your stubborn, angry man Now the table's set, the oven's warm Let's split that cupcake, weather every storm(Instrumental Solo)
