Mama Said (I'm Bringing Down Fire) Lyrics

Parked at my desk with my face doused in the sun

Wondering if I have enough change in my pocket to make some

But only through these melodies and these drums can I overcome the pain

Inject the novocain, now I'm numb

But when the words bleed off the sheets and beam into a reality

That's my mentality

And execute with as little banality as possible

Punchlines with brutality

Causing casualties

Now my rhymes blue and black, you see

And I keep flowing like the dam demolished

And won't leave the game satisfied until the man accomplished

And just because I took my time don't mean the plan abolished

I've just been perfecting my rhymes, now the brand is polished

You got it? Now listen

It takes a lot of precision for unlocking your vision

And it feels harder to get it with no pots left to piss in

Glitter gold shines better in the light

So now I'm spittin' these writtens in hopes that I will glisten, uh

Mama said, mama said (Check it)

You don't know these streets like we do, we do

Mama said, mama said (Check it)

You don't know these streets like we do-do

Mama said, mama said (Check it)

You don't know these streets like we do, we do

Mama said, mama said (Check it)

You don't know these streets like we do-do

Yeah, because I'm all about my dough

And if you don't got it

Lay you on the floor or out the front door, hoe

Nah that's just all jokes

How else am I supposed to put a smile on your face while still flipping flows?

Rapping for some chains

Making my back crackin'

Now I'm a slave to the game

Break it like a crack addict

I done had it

Need a breath like an asthmatic

Grab the Craftmatic

But let's switch the subject matter

Spitting schemes to get the cream then split it with my team

Cause at the end of the week, I'd rather grow than compete

Building the foundation with a nation up on their feet

Rather than using their heads as area for your cleats

And me? I just go along with passion

But it's so much more than rapping

So big, I can't even fathom it, it's massive

Why hold onto your dreams when you can take action?

Just pour your brain onto the pad and watch the magic

I hope to make a living off of crafting words and gripping mics

Rather than 9 to 5's, stacking burg's and grilling fries

I'm hoping that the future holds the passion burnt and vivid lights

And pray that it don't crash and burn

But rather live for life

Merciless mercenary on the mic so meticulous

It's ridiculous how much heart and soul I put into every word

And I plan to keep it that way forever

And I'll keep that word until my blood spills and I hit the dirt, cuz

Mama said, mama said (Check it)

You don't know these streets like we do, we do

Mama said, mama said (Check it)

You don't know these streets like we do-do

Mama said, mama said (Check it)

You don't know these streets like we do, we do

Mama said, mama said (Check it)

You don't know these streets like we do-do

And just when I think I done my very best

I get a sense of regret, re-re-regret

Cause mama always said

Yeah, and just when I think I done my very best

I always seem to repent, re-re-repent

Cause mama always said

Mama said, mama said (Check it)

You don't know these streets like we do, we do

Mama said, mama said (Check it)

You don't know these streets like we do-do

Mama said, mama said (Check it)

You don't know these streets like we do, we do

Mama said, mama said (Check it)

You don't know these streets like we do-do
