Mama

[Intro]

This one right here, goes out to my mama

This goes out to mama

Your mama and everybody mama, haha

Here we go, listen, listen

[Verse 1]

I remember Saturday mornings

Me waking up to mama in the kitchen cooking to Sam Cook

And I was just a young dude, watching morning cartoons

Waiting for mama to braid my hair

I used to hate to get it done 'cause she'd braid it too tight

My mama always gave a style, she knew I would like

And then I would go outside and play, she'd sit on the front porch

While me and Rob played ball

[Pre-Chorus]

Mama always did little things like that

Mama always will know I love her for that

For all the things that you used to do

Mama, I dedicate this one to you

[Chorus]

It's straight from the heart, this is your song

You're my lucky charm so you already know

That I'ma sing this one for you

So let me sing this one for you

From every tour, every show

You're my lucky charm, go wherever I go

Mama, I'ma sing this one to you

Mama, let me sing this one to you

[Verse 2]

She's like the mother of Tappahannock, VA (VA)

Everybody knew miss Joyce where we stayed (Where we stayed)

Old heads said she was cool, nothing that she wouldn't do

What about CB? She was known I acted a fool

(Oh, woah) With the little money that she made

She took the bad and made it all okay

Nights at the daycare, when we had to stay there

Always held it down, so I gotta thank you now

[Pre-Chorus]

Mama always did little things like that (Oh)

Mama always will know I love her for that (Ayy)

For all the things that you used to do

Mama, I dedicate this one to you

[Chorus]

It's straight from the heart, this is your song

You're my lucky charm so you already know

That I'ma sing this one for you

So let me sing this one for you

From every tour (From every tour, yeah, yeah, yeah), every show

You're my lucky charm, go wherever I go (You're my lucky charm)

Mama, I'ma sing this one to you (I'ma sing it, just let me sing it)

Mama, let me sing this one to you (Woah, yeah)

[Bridge]

(Ooh) Mama, I thank you for all you've done

(Ooh) I thank God everyday I'm your son

Oh (Yeah), you gave me everything that I need

But loving me unconditionally

Everybody say "M-O-M-M-A"

Everybody say mama

"M-O-M-M-A"

You know that this is your song

[Chorus]

It's straight from the heart (Oh, mama), this is your song (Ayy)

You're my lucky charm so you already know

That I'ma sing this one for you

So let me sing this one for you

From every tour (Ayy), every show (Mama, I love you so)

You're my lucky charm, go wherever I go (Wherever I go)

Mama, I'ma sing this one to you (Yeah)

Mama, let me sing this one to you

[Outro]

This right here goes out to every mama all over the world

Mama, I know I might be bad at times

(Mama, I'ma sing this one to you)

I might get on your nerves, but I still love you

(Mama, let me sing this one to you)

You always gonna be my mama

Mama, mama, my mama

(Mama, I'ma sing this one to you)

Ooh, ooh, ooh

(Mama, let me sing this one to you)

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Mama, I love you

Don't put nothing above you

I'll save it, I'll save this one for you
