Mama - RAY BLK

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
