Mama Said Lyrics

My mama said

You need to get a job

I told her I'm an artist

She said how much did you make

I told her I'm just getting started

So right now I don't make shit

She said there you go

What the hell did I tell you

It ain't a real job if it don't pay you

Alright alright alright

So I'm up all night all night all night

Tryna make this money money

Money money

I did not know how to tell her

But once I did I felt better and now

She thinks it's just a phase

That I'm lost inside a maze

Little does she know Imma make it

Or Imma die tryin'

That's the mindset of any person chasin' greatness

Success is an iceberg and most people

Only see a small tip like a bad waitress

Situation is stressful

Got problems by the handful

My mama sees me rap

Thinking this boy is a damn fool

I love my mama and my mama loves me

But sometimes we argue

We just cannot agree

We clash we bump heads

Like I'm tryna get up from a bunk bed

But no matter what I always got her back

Me and her against the world

I poured my heart on every line of this track

My mama said

You need to get a job

I told her I'm an artist

She said how much did you make

I told her I'm just getting started

So right now I don't make shit

She said there you go

What the hell did I tell you

It ain't a real job if it don't pay you

Alright alright alright

So I'm up all night all night all night

Tryna make this money money

Money money

She doesn't know what to tell

The rest of the family

When they're asking her what I'm tryna be

She's just tryna dodge the question

And did I mention that

We had countless conversations about

All the other things I could do with my life

She desperately tried to

Put me on the right path

Already booked the flight

Told her I'll be right back

Just give me a little time

So I can takeover the game

Make a hundred million dollars

Let America know my name

Wow I know distance is a bitch

And I hate not being more present

For my little sister

Protecting her is my mission

Especially now that dad

Is watching us from heaven

My mama said

You need to get a job

I told her I'm an artist

She said how much did you make

I told her I'm just getting started

So right now I don't make shit

She said there you go

What the hell did I tell you

It ain't a real job if it don't pay you

Alright alright alright

So I'm up all night all night all night

Tryna make this money money

Money money
