Mama Say Lyrics

Mama say, mama sa, mama say

Be your best, let God guide the way

So I pray on my knees asking for better days

As I write songs with my palm to tell my frays

Mama say, mama sa, mama sigh

Seen a lot, not wanting mama to cry

To see the top, the bottom you gotta lie

So I write songs with my palm to tell the whys

I be, I be the rebel with a cause, uh

I give, I give it all but at what cost, uh

No sleep, no eat, just valleys and peaks

And dreams to fuel the fire in a loss uh

I had some bad days,

Not knowing when I'mma eat and eighty three cent to my name

Car towed and repoed, no gas to light the stove

Friends turn into foes because I changed

Changed for the better, to whom much is given much is required

So to get a lot, I had to exert my power

From my mind, body and soul, Through the rigorous road

What glitters ain't gold, sometimes money move slow

So I had to go and get it ; mama always told me it be days like this

So I prayed for this

To stand on my own two to make a way like this

And never have to lay down for shit yeah

Mama say, mama sa, mama say

Be your best, let God guide the way

So I pray on my knees asking for better days

As I write songs with my palm to tell my frays

Mama say, mama sa, mama sigh

Seen a lot, not wanting mama to cry

To see the top, the bottom you gotta lie

So I write songs with my palm to tell the whys

I be so focus on winning, I isolate to create my tunnel vision

Remember the days when I would scrape and penny pinching

Getting twisted like pretzels to mellow

Was trying to get my bill up like Melo; It was hard though,

Getting daily calls from Sallie Mae

Debt was higher than a hype hitting the pipe on sunny days

It put me in a dark space, feeling less than a man

Felt like I couldn't help myself, had to check my mental health

Remember momma telling me believe in God and know yourself

And that's the true value, those were the tools that I needed

To be the man I am now, I had to learn how to be it

You can show people your vision and they can be blind to see it

But I'm here now and money ain't a thang, got my life in order

Fam is straight, I'm raising a king waiting on my daughter

Yeah them gems from my OG taught me how to go OD

And always move forward til the mission's complete

Mama say, mama sa, mama say

Be your best, let God guide the way

So I pray on my knees asking for better days

As I write songs with my palm to tell my frays

Mama say, mama sa, mama sigh

Seen a lot, not wanting mama to cry

To see the top, the bottom you gotta lie

So I write songs with my palm yeah uh
