Mad at Me

[Chorus]
My momma mad at me
If I'm so grown, show me the way
You gotta lead by example
You may not have all the answers
But anything is better than hate
'Cause at the end of the day
My momma mad at me
If I'm so grown, show me the way
You gotta lead by example
You may not have all the answers
But anything is better than hate
'Cause at the end of the day

[Verse 1]
Yeah, uh, I never said I was the perfect son
I think for certain I've been holdin' up
Whatever came from this is close enough
Appreciate you only showin' love
Nah, I'm playin', mama holds a grudge, but um
It wasn't all bad
The fact of the matter is I was young
I didn't even know we was called that
I've seen you hustle 'til you fall flat
Mom asleep for 3 days after all that
And I didn't have no bedtime
She just said, "Get out my face once it hits nine"
I was watchin' every movie I like
I smelled the doobie, it was smellin' alright

[Pre-Chorus]
So I'mma say it again
Don't hate me, maybe we can pretend
That life was almost perfect, amen
We just all need a friend to motivate us when we're lost in the wind
No one to call when this life is a bitch
You know life is a trip

[Chorus]
My momma mad at me
If I'm so grown, show me the way
You gotta lead by example
You may not have all the answers
But anything is better than hate
'Cause at the end of the day
My momma mad at me
If I'm so grown, show me the way
You gotta lead by example
You may not have all the answers
But anything is better than hate
'Cause at the end of the day

[Verse 2]
Uh, uh, we been known to have a laugh or two
[?] everything you say like it's the afternoon
Maybe had some math to do, struggled with my homework
Write any answer on the paper right before it's due
I just wanna go outside, man, I wanna live life
Then we grow up and we just wanna be kids, right?
Like we throw up and swear we never gon' drink, right?
It's time to go home, I swiftly run through the street light
I didn't know any different
Eatin' those hood meals alone in the kitchen
I wasn't bitchin', this was livin' to me
I was livin' and free
Eatin' butter sandwiches [stand ?] in the passenger seat (ayy)
Momma watchin' court TV
She always talkin' loud on the phone, I'm sleep
"Ma! Damn, keep it down, I'm sleep"
She said, "Then you can pay some bills, to keep it down ain't free"

[Chorus]
My momma mad at me
If I'm so grown, show me the way
You gotta lead by example
You may not have all the answers
But anything is better than hate
'Cause at the end of the day
My momma mad at me
If I'm so grown, show me the way
You gotta lead by example
You may not have all the answers
But anything is better than hate
'Cause at the end of the day

[Verse 3]
I remember all the good times
Skippin' school, fakin' sick, watchin' Good Times (Uh)
Radio on 89.9 standin' [?]
I can remember runnin' in and out the back do'
Yellow light, fast forward
[?] hand went through the window chasin' me on that porch (Uh)
Momma hit the steps
She woke up out her slumber, how she yelled would make you deaf
We knew that mama wasn't playin' even when our momma laughin'
If you mess around, you better be asleep, hope she forgets
And she don't wake up still upset
All in all, man, that shit was still the best

[Pre-Chorus]
So I'mma say it again
Don't hate me, maybe we can pretend
That life was almost perfect, amen
We just all need a friend to motivate us when we lost in the wind
No one to call when this life is a bitch
You know life is a trip

[Chorus]
My momma mad at me
If I'm so grown, show me the way
You gotta lead by example
You may not have all the answers
But anything is better than hate
'Cause at the end of the day
My momma mad at me
If I'm so grown, show me the way
You gotta lead by example
You may not have all the answers
But anything is better than hate
'Cause at the end of the day
