[Intro]
Yeah, uh, yeah
I swear I used to write better, do better, be better, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
I swear I used to write better lines when I blew a tree
I used to take my damn time with this poetry
And smoke a fatty with my cold mornin' coffee
I can't even drink my cold mornin' coffee
All the panic attacks, I feel the pressure, always watchin' my back
At least I finally found someone, in fact
Only reason that I'm truly on track, turned my engine on
And told me, "Don't you ever look back, don't you ever look back
There's always more to life, don't you forget
That one day you gon' be a father with your own batch of kids
So you can't go around talkin' all of that shit
'Cause you gon' live a long life if you pass twenty-six
You gon' have many years, you gon' have many tears
Many things that you fear, so you gotta stay clear
And find the end of the tunnel, see that you also stay outta trouble
So you can look at your mother, and tell her"
[Chorus]
Mama, I'm happy, Mama, I'm happy
Mama, I'm here, I'm here
Look at me clearly, look in the rearview
Look in the mirror, in the mirror
[Verse 2]
Yeah, don't get it twisted, I just am who I am
If you can't respect my wishes, then you ain't in the plan
Yeah, I really like my alcohol, bottle liqueur, fuck it
I hold one and one and one in each hand
Damn it, that makes three, I guess I'll have to grab another
Even numbers are key, I got nowhere to be
But the woman that I love worryin' 'bout me
Like, "Is he okay to drive?" Baby, let's just see
I hit I-95, been a minute man (Yeah)
Cruise control, ninety-five in the middle lane (Skrrt)
Feelin' good, feelin' great, shake and bake it
I'm a daredevil, yeah, I feel amazing
239 'til I die, man, it's fuck the fame (Fuck it)
I'm a Florida boy, baby, I'ma stay the same (Ayy)
In my hood I'll wait, can't be flakin'
I stay busy on my grind, money-makin'
[Chorus]
Mama, I'm happy, Mama, I'm happy
Mama, I'm here, I'm here
Look at me clearly, look in the rearview
Look in the mirror, in the mirror
Mama, I'm happy, Mama, I'm happy
Mama, I'm here, I'm here
Look at me clearly, look in the rearview
Look in the mirror, in the mirror
[Outro]
Momma, I'm—, yeah
(Momma, I'm—) Uh, yeah, yeah
Momma, I'm—, yeah
(Momma, I'm—) Uh, yeah
