| Momma tried to raise me right
|
| She did everything she can
|
| To try to make me a man
|
| Never had a hungry night
|
| But I was still a problem
|
| And they didn’t know how to solve it
|
| Momma couldn’t show me the things I’d go through
|
| So my daddy had to show me the belt
|
| And he told me that the world is a whole lot harder
|
| So it’s better him than somebody else
|
| I said momma tried to raise me right
|
| But I came out wrong
|

|
