“Baby Mama,” Brandy’s lead single off her seventh album, B7, is an empowerment anthem about her job as a single parent. She touches on how she’s raised her daughter and how she defies all labels that are placed on single mothers.
[Intro]
(Hit-Boy)
[Verse 1: Brandy]
Only kind of first real love
My baby got them dreams you can touch
And a voice from above
She's a pearl in the rough
It takes a village to raise 'em
We don't do it all by ourselves
I know my smile can be upstagin'
On the stage, I provide like a daddy
And a mother, Father, I give my life
Put that on my life (Put that on everything)
[Pre-Chorus: Brandy]
I be up in my comments and I scroll through
A few opinions, you can't do it quite like I can (Do it)
I'm just here to share the light, yeah, yeah
'Cause we gon' be alright, be alright
[Chorus: Brandy]
Baby mama, baby mama
I ain't with that drama, not that baby mama
Ain't dependent on you, I'm a baby mama
Baby mama, baby mama, oh
Whole world looking at me, single mama
This song ain't just for me, it's for every mama, yeah
Every day I breathe, it's for my little mama
I'm every woman and a baby mama
[Post-Chorus: Brandy]
Only hit me when you need somethin'
Pretendin' like you need somebody
I guess you didn't see or
Imagine me somebody
[Verse 2: Brandy]
I'm thinkin' maybe I'll just chill tonight
Stomp up in some heels tonight
I'll be in my feelings for life
So you can't M.I.L.F. us up
We ain't a muh-fuh
'Cause we will light you up
[Pre-Chorus: Brandy]
I be up in my comments and I scroll through
A few opinions, you can't do it quite like I can (Do it)
I'm just here to share the light, yeah, yeah
'Cause it gon' be alright, be alright
[Chorus: Brandy]
Baby mama, baby mama (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I ain't with that drama, not that baby mama
Ain't dependent on you, I'm a baby mama
Baby mama, baby mama (I got my own money)
Whole world lookin' at me, single mama
This song ain't just for me, it's for every mama, yeah
Every day I breathe, it's for my little mama (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm every woman and a baby mama
[Post-Chorus: Brandy & Chance the Rapper]
Only hit me when you need somethin'
Pretendin' like you need somebody (Yeah, yeah)
I guess you didn't see or
Imagine me somebody
(Chance the Rapper)
[Verse 3: Chance the Rapper]
You not the only one that can take out trash (Ah)
That can make the cash (Ah)
That can make her laugh
You not the only one that can make her brag
That can make her drinks, that can make her scream
Keep a vibrator in her makeup bag
Gotta make it last
Got a little bit of hah, gotta break her back
You already got a strike, can't take it back
Gotta face the facts
As a baby, have a little bit of baby fat
Look, champ
I know it's hard when your baby mama don't want you
'Specially if she don't need you (Ah)
'Specially if she used to feed you (Huh)
'Specially if she used to keep you
'Specially if you used to cheat too
Wait, come to think of it
She ain't never really need you
[Chorus: Brandy]
Baby mama, baby mama
I ain't with that drama, not that baby mama
Ain't dependent on you, I'm a baby mama
Baby mama, baby mama
Whole world looking at me, single mama (Yeah)
This song ain't just for me, it's for every mama, yeah
Every day I breathe, it's for my little mama (Yeah)
I'm every woman and a baby mama (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Baby Mama was written by Brandy & Chance the Rapper & Sy’Rai & Hit-Boy & Kaydence & Worldwide Fresh.
Baby Mama was produced by Brandy & Hit-Boy & LaShawn Daniels.
During a recent interview with SiriusXM’s Laura Coates, Brandy said the song was dedicated to all the moms who’ve dedicated so much to their families:
It’s celebrating mothers out there who are out there doing their best for their children and striving in their independence, in their strength, in t...
This is the first collaboration between Brandy & Chance the Rapper.
Chance previously sampled Brandy’s “I Wanna Be Down” for his song with Shawn Mendes, “Ballin' Flossin'” from Chance’s The Big Day album.
Well, the inspiration for “Baby Mama” was of course my daughter and just how she makes me a better person, how she keeps me on my grind. And so I wanted to do a song about her and just speak to all baby mamas out there that may feel like they can’t make it, they can’t push through. If you use your c...
Hit Boy, he’s an amazing producer. He’s done so many great songs for Jay Z, Kanye West, and I’ve worked with him for a while and we finally got a song that we were proud of and his beat is just so fitting for the song. It’s upbeat and it’s trumpets, it’s horns. It’s so cool. I love it.
Chance The Rapper, I just have to give him a huge shout out because he’s just been a fan and just been so supportive for so long. He actually FaceTimed me and wanted to do something with a song in the past called “I Want To Be Down.” He wanted to use some samples from that. And I was like, “Well, if...
I actually came up with “Baby Mama” in my room. I was just sitting up in my room actually. And I was just singing “Baby mama, baby mama.” And I was like, “This will be a dope song.” And so when I heard the beat from Hit Boy, I started to sing what I was singing in my room on the song and it worked o...
