Lyrics Mama - RAY BLK

Mama

In the kitchen on the South side
Catchin' vibes at the table after midnight
Mama sleep, try not to wake her on the inside
Wonderin' if I’ll ever make it
Mama told me I’m the greatest, I’m the greatest
And she was right beside me, push me till I made it here
Pressure leave a person cracked up like an 80's kid
She was single, holding me down
Even though my dad went around
She would tell me everything was alright
Even when I couldn’t see the sunshine
She has been a queen, indeed, in my life
She was still believin' when it wasn’t easy
Oh, when you see me smilin' when I feel down
Yeah, I get that from my mama
And when you see these hips and thighs that sit nice
Yo, I got that from my mama
And you don’t know what I make or where I go in this world
Gotta get back to my mama
'Cause her love is what love does
Shout out to my mama
It was too hard when you’re working two jobs
'Cause you’re raising three kids, so prayin' to God
'Cause you gotta pay bills, so we live like we live
You were on the night shift, we were locked in the crib
You used to say, we can’t tell nobody
'Cause some people might come, try to take us away
So each and every day, I can say that I appreciate
All the ways that you love me
She would tell me everything was alright
Even when I couldn’t see the sunshine
She has been a queen of in my life
She was still believin' when it wasn’t easy
When you see me smiling when I feel down
Yeah, I get that from my mama
And when you see these hips and thighs that sit nice
Yo, I got that from my mama (From mama)
And you don’t know what I make or where I go in this world
Gotta get back to my mama
'Cause her love is what love does
Shout out to my mama
I’ll whoop your ass if you’re late, no, you can’t go on no dates
You took him back, think you grown 'cause you menstruate
But you ain’t that bad, ah, you a hate when we argue
I raised you to honor your mother and father
Yeah, I wanna see you live your dreams
Remember you’re a queen, I wanna see you make it
But don’t lose your Christianity
I tried to give the best of me
Give you the tools to propel you to your destiny
I love you, Mom
When you see me smiling when I feel down
Yeah, I get that from my mama (Get it from my mama)
And when you see these hips and thighs that sit nice (Nice)
Yo, I got that from my mama (Got it from my mama)
And you don’t know what I make or where I go in this world
Gotta get back to my mama (I gotta get to my mama)
'Cause her love is what love does
Shout out to my mama
