Mama's Melanin Lyrics

Peace, peace

Peace

Let's talk about legacy. Let's talk about the golden child who carried and cherished me

Let's talk about sacred skin, entertaining insanity

Blessed with knowledge and money, you cover up for your vanity

Gotta turn down the music when driving by churches, schools, and cemeteries

For the homies looking down at my people that's praying for me

If roles can ever switch, I get rid of the fake niggas

Slithering in the grass, exposing the game on niggas

My family tree carries the passion right next to burdens

My OGs can see the best in me coming like Sunday service

My honesty come with prices, can't dabble with ifs and maybes

You either running this railroad to mama house or you shady

To the warrior that gave me my future, your life's a blessing

Anything else I give it to God, won't be no pressure

Keep my head above the clouds, cloud judgment, make mistakes

Money, power, respect. Folks on my side, no time to waste

That's how it is. That's how it is, that's how it be, that's how it feel

That's how it be, that's how you feel, that's how you live

That's how it be, that's how you feel, that's how you live

How you live. That's how it is

That's how it is. That's how it be, that's how it feel

That's how it be, that's how you feel, that's how you live

That's how it be, that's how you feel, that's how you live

All praises to the Most High, what's the right words to say to the sky

Lost in thought I'm on a race through my mind just scrambling for some time

But truth be told I'm only here for some time

In a flash could lose at drops of a dime, just live your life according to self

Don't wait for nobody, just be by yourself

It's scary when you're dying for help, when you're not one with yourself

Stay connected to them palm trees, swaying leaves with them curls in the breeze

Don't worry about police coming, that could mean one thing, one thing

It's just one thing that got me tripping like Amerie

Sleep with the pigs, you get off free, but shot for freedom of speech, you know how that be

I guess when you at the top of the list, it's really that simple

You hungry or isn't, this shit ain't a scrimmage, like who is you kidding

Songs in the key of life help inspire this vision to see my decisions just come to fruition

My nigga just listen, my nigga you tripping

That's how it is, that's how it is, that's how it be, that's how it feel

That's how it be, that's how you feel, that's how you live

That's how it be, that's how you feel, that's how you live

How you live, that's how it is

That's how it is, that's how it be, that's how I feel

That's how it be, that's how it feel, that's how you live

That's how it be, that's how you feel, that's how you live

How you live

How you live
