Mamma

[Chorus: Tony Sunshine]

Mamma, I don't understand

Why he had to fuck with me, now I gotta kill this man

I said Mamma, now I'm on the run

Dear Mamma, what have I done?

[Verse 1: Big Pun]

Somebody save me, I think I just killed somebody baby

Shoulda chilled but money was really tryna play me

Couldn't hold it no more so I showed him the four

Duke was dissin' my girl like she was hoein' on tour

And knowin' I'm raw, money tried to play fly

"I said whassup to the bitch; why she couldn't say hi?"

That ain't right! I had to put him in his place

Remember them hollows I bought for three bottles? I put 'em in his face

I didn't have to disgrace myself, I hate myself

Ahora a Tu! *BLAH BLAH* Brace yourself

That's the law, the streets are like basketball

Sometimes you shoot, sometimes you pass it off

Can't always take a shot, make one mistake you upstate for what?

Too much hate, time to break the lock

I hate the cops so I ain't tryna see 'em

I love a brother doin' triple life but I ain't tryna be him

That's why I be on the low, and keep my feet in the row

'Cause they're tellin' me as far as felonies, you get life for three in a row

Then what do ya know? Last week at the flicks

I had to kill somebody for steppin' on my kicks (Stupid!)

[Chorus: Tony Sunshine]

Mamma, I don't understand

Why he had to fuck with me, now I gotta kill this man

I said Mamma, now I'm on the run

Dear Mamma, what have I done?

[Verse 2: Big Pun]

I can murder half the world laugh while the other side hate me

But hurt one hair on my mamma head and I'ma, cry like a baby

She my heart and soul; what Jimi Hendrix was to rock 'n' roll

Made me believe I could achieve the impossible

Now you know one of my weaknesses, but Punisher keeps it glizz

So don't pull out 'cause when I pop oh what a relief it is

Send you where Jesus is - hold up, that's the gas chamber

Think before you put on that ski-mask and blast a stranger

Relax the anger, don't be so hard on yourself

That's how you'll end up twelve years old, bein' charged as an adult

Terror Squad is here to help so you can learn from our mistakes

'Cause power just makes you reject destiny and devour your fate

How many hours I waste, tryna figure the shit

Until I finally realized, we're just niggas and spics

That's what they feel, what can I do but just stay real?

Keep somethin' in the stash in case I gotta make bail

'Cause ain't no brothers, runnin' shit in the system

You goin' straight to jail if you colored and fit the description

[Break: Big Punisher]

.. fuck you talkin' about? I live here

This is my buildin' nigga; fuck you nigga!

That's my daughter right there playin'.. fuck off me!

Get the fuck off!

[Chorus: Tony Sunshine]

Mamma, I don't understand

Why he had to fuck with me, now I gotta kill this man

I said Mamma, now I'm on the run

Dear Mamma, what have I done?

[Bridge: Big Pun]

I don't have much time so I'm only gonna ask you once

To please forgive me Mamma; I love you and I'm sorry I broke your heart

But I ask you to do me a favor and take care of my daughters

And raise them to be good respectable woman, like their mother

God bless her soul

And raise my son to be a good man, a better man than me

And for this I give you my soul, I love you

[Chorus: Tony Sunshine]

Mamma, I don't understand

Why he had to fuck with me, now I gotta kill this man

I said Mamma, now I'm on the run

Dear Mamma, what have I done?

[Outro: Tony Sunshine]

Hey ma-ma-ma-mma..

I just killed a man..

Mamma, what am I to do?
