    This is you. I can hear in your voice. This isn't the stunting, bragging about being you rich. The way you're rapping in this song doesn't sound like Token, it sounds like Ben. This is real shit. Keep going Token, you're a legend.

    [Intro]
    My best friend do not got a mommy and he jealous of me
    So I hug her extra tight before she's ready to sleep
    In the morning I got lot to do and places to be
    Mommy crying in the kitchen I pretend I don't see
    Then I grab my bag I say goodbye and then she says it to me
    As I'm walking out the door I wonder what's expected of me
    I love my momma and I wanna make her problems go away
    But I don't want to see a child in who is parenting me
    [Verse 1]
    A couple days ago I sat down in the kitchen with her
    And she told me that she hate the way she look
    And she get lonely when I'm gone 'cause she got nowhere to turn
    So she tried to lose herself inside her book
    The conversation ended as I'm feeling like a horrible son
    But I kept it and I didn't say a word
    Because I knew that it would only make it worse
    Mommy taught me confidence and now she insecure, ah
    [Chorus]
    Mommy taught me not to be afraid of mistakes
    Mommy taught me always to follow a dream
    Mommy taught me how to deal with the pressure
    But not when the pressure don't belong to me
    Mommy taught me always be grateful and share
    Mommy taught me always to do what is fair
    It's not that I don't care it's that I care too much
    And I still believe in heroes
    I still believe in...
    [Verse 2]
    Everything you taught me, that's why I can't believe your fucking nerve
    You just complain, complain, complain, I don't think I get the treatment I deserve
    Because I think about you all day, I don't focus and I feel my stomach turn
    Then you tell me not to worry 'bout it, Ma' you would just eat your fucking words
    Shit, took me years just to say this, so I ain't leaving one thing out
    When I see a tear on your face, is only thing I can think 'bout
    Only thing I want to fix, if I can't help then I flip out
    I saw you cry driving me to school then you wondered why I got kicked out
    See I thought this shit was okay, my homie found out and he don't
    When I told him I can't hang today 'cause my mom depressed she can't be alone
    You taught me not to bite my tongue
    You taught me I control my fate
    You taught me how to get shit straight
    You taught me what is fair, this ain't
    Shit, I don't want to hear about what could be why the fuck you gotta let the past control you
    I don't want to hear about a fight with daddy or about the money daddy owe you
    I don't want to hear that you feel ugly you're more beautiful than you just could imagine
    I don't want to be in this position when I listen thinking you don't know how good you have it
    You could be homeless with no money, when the wind blowing there's snow coming
    You could be like dad, living the same life everyday and going home to nobody
    At least you got me, huh?
    At least you got heat, huh?
    I want to make it just to make you rich
    But a dollar can't sell a pessimist
    Look, I wanna be someone that you can speak with
    But you always tellin' me never forget to be a kid but I can't be a kid when I see you like this
    Can't be myself when I see you like this
    Old enough to know my hero isn't invincible
    But I'm still young enough to not wanna know where all the weaknesses is
    I just don't think it's right
    And I just don't think it's fair to act
    When I feel like I gotta parent my parent just for my parent to parent back
    I love you more than you know
    But I cannot be the only reason
    My role model don't roll down a deep end 'cause
    [Chorus]
    Mommy taught me not to be afraid of mistakes
    Mommy taught me always to follow a dream
    Mommy taught me how to deal with the pressure
    But not when the pressure don't belong to me
    Mommy taught me always be grateful and share
    Mommy taught me always to do what is fair
    It's not that I don't care it's that I care too much
    And I still believe in heroes
    I still believe in...
    Heroes

    As a kid that grew up with no parents this hits me so hard bro. Like the only memory I have of my mom is trying to get her to stop crying. Trying to get her boyfriend to stop hitting her. Trying to do so much even though I was so small. I used to cry every night begging god to kill me. I used to wonder why I had to go through that and all my friends got to live life like the Disney channel. Now I know why. It was to turn me into the artist I am. You are a hero bro. 100000%

    I love the hook on this. He uses a calm grown hollow voice, along with a frantic, pained, child voice to capture how to act to comfort a parent, as well as how you would feel doing so. Artistic genius to me is a captured truth of the dimensions one feels within a singal moment.

    My moms schizophrenic and I see her mental state deteriorating everyday, and hold myself responsible for it, as I was mad to take care of her meds and emotions since i was 13, hence I see myself fail at the only responsibility that matters, where a person's life is at stake.
    This song deserves way more recognition than it gets. I hope token puts more out more shit like this, true lyricism.
    I see token as one of then few great rappers today.

    Not expecting you to take notice of this at all, but out of all your songs, this is the one I relate most to. I'm only 16, but what used to be a strong ass relationship with my mum slowly loosened, not that I still don't love her and hang around her, but I'm growing up and don't rely on her as much. She's opened up about it to me, saying she feels lonely with my sister at university and be not being round her as much, and it's really fucking demotivating knowing that whatever I do, whether it be leave home, get a job or anything of sorts, she'll feel lonely, and I can't fucking stand that thought.

    This song is real as it gets, its about understanding and seeing that your parents are real people too. They are the ones you made you who you are and you HATE to see them struggle. You'd do everything in your power to change it, why? Because that's what they did when you were going through it. They love you unconditionally, coming from all backgrounds. I've seen friends struggle with their parents and parents turn their back on their kids in shame when things get real. There's a lot to be learned here. I respect Token for making this song. I too have felt like I have had to parent my parents and it hurts. Shit's so real.

    In really torn about this song... having struggled with depression for longer than I can remember, I hate when people complain about how I’m “just a pessimist.” That’s not how that works. We aren’t just pessimists. There is physically something wrong with our brains, and it doesn’t function right.
    Literally everything else about this song is fantastic. Great job, Token.

      yeah but i think all kids have been in an argument with their mothers at some point, this song sounds like token venting out all his frustrations in one go so he doesnt have to do it anymore than just this and i think he reflects this with the line "Shit, took me years just to say this, so I ain't leaving one thing out" this is him pleading with his mom, reflected also in the line "But I cannot be the only reason My role model don't roll down a deep end." Token wants to move on with his life but he cant because he wants his mom to survive, he cant focus on his career or touring (which is how artists make most of their money) without worrying about his mom and being truly free

The song was finished except for Logic's verse, he was very late and disrespected both Joyner and this other rapper in that verse. That's why Joyner hates him.
